I don't have specific data on that. I mean, my sense is that what you're alluding to is that individual giving did go down for, I would say, donors who are giving smaller amounts. I think that for donors who already were giving a large proportion of their incomes or wealth that the itemizing actually still continues.

I think that especially with COVID, we saw just tremendous needs in our community. And so I think that there's sort of a challenge for those of us who might be giving on the cusp around of that 14K mark to really not be swayed by that and actually just to be as generous as we can, because it really does make a difference in the areas that we care about.

Exactly. We're one of the only countries in the world that offers that.

With the GoFundMes, I really do think a good rule of thumb is, do I know this person, right? Is there a level of trust? Trust really is the theme across both informal giving networks like GoFundMe, as well as giving to nonprofits. No one is saying you should go out and give to an untried and untested or someone you don't know or an organization that you're unfamiliar with.

We do say, do your homework. Definitely ask for the information. Ask the good questions and then give as generously as you can. And that trust piece really undergirds all of it.

maybe you set aside a small amount to do that. And that itself could be a whole strategy itself, where it's like, I would like to give to disasters in other places. I think that for me, and I think for many people, having a relationship with the communities and the causes that you care about can be a really important part of being an effective donor.

And so I would say maybe also have a giving that really connects you to your own community and causes that are close to your heart.
