I meant that tax deductions were cited as a primary reason - meaning one of the top three - not as THE primary reason. I agree that lower income folks tend to give move - and I think that they tend to because of #1 and #2 (being asked and giving for disasters). That's why I think that making the deduction above the line would encourage giving even more because it would give those folks an extra incentive. Oops, I think that was my poor wording.

I always thought the majority of charitable donations came from lower-income people -- most of whom don't have enough deductions to make it worth itemizing (i.e., their donations are, in effect not deductible). I take it that's not the case? Urb Hi, Kelly –
