Thank you all sew very much for the replies on this post. I am not by any mean a high bracket income and getting the tax deduction is the least of my concerns. If i want to do something as a goodwill i definately don't want a return for it, but the fact knowing that some people use others and get away with it in collecting donated stuff and products for the needy and not using them the right way drives me crazy and makes me sick. After i sewed day and night for one non profit and having that bad experience at the end yes i have the right to know where my efforts are going and knowing they are going in fact to the needy not the greedy. I understand that we can't control the route for all the donations we make but i know if i "at least to my knowledge" took the right route and got a paper from the organization stating what i gave (even if i don't claim it) that they really put it to good use.
Hope i am making sense here.
