I'm not doing anything at the moment because I'm stuck out-of-town to
attend a funeral. When I get back home next week I'm gonna figure out the
most tax efficient way to make a large contribution to the Southern
Baptist's North American Missions Board. (I'll probably donate a bunch of
appreciated stock so I can write off the whole amount without paying
capital gains tax first)


Ultimately it's your choice where you donate send your money, however faith
based organizations have a history of attempting to bring religion along
with their assistance. Better to donate to secular organizations such as the
Red Cross. The Red Cross will accept equities as well.
