[Hidden-tech] web design for the Northampton Survival Center

[Tom/Reelife Productions]

Dan,

you're correct.  I've had several offers from prospective clients to  
have my work added... as a tax deductible contribution ... which my  
accountant has told me more than once...that it doesn't work that  
way...unfortunate but true.  you can't deduct "services rendered".   
and also, unfortunately, deductions never equate to the amount you  
would be "getting paid".

When people have asked if I do work for charitable or Non-profit  
organizations...I say "yes", ...if they can pay me... :}
(just the reality of the situation).
