Damn got beaten to the fishing reference. Well played though.

Stop just giving directly to charity and make a permanent difference.
Create an investment account where you grow your financial house AND set aside a portion of the earnings to donate to charity. That way you can continually give without taking money of of your proverbial pocket each time, and you can keep collecting those receipts to offset your taxes.
I'm all for giving to charity - but why not create a sustainable permanent structure which beats the ol' car wash and bake sale methods.

P.S. If you're Canadian I've got a tax structure that can reduce your burden and donate to charity at the same time. It's definitely an aggressive strategy, but it's the foundation block that I used to build my first million.
