It’s giving season! Making the most of the holiday season means celebrating and making memories with friends, family, and the people we love. It is also a time for gratitude and giving back. In order to maximize your gift-giving power, consider donating to local associations, NGOs or consider giving time to your community and causes close to your heart.
