Whether it’s for the tax deduction or the warm fuzzy feeling giving to others generates, most Americans plan to make a charitable donation over the holiday season. In fact, nearly 60 percent of Americans say they’ll donate between Thanksgiving and Christmas, according to a survey reported in the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
With so many worthy causes, it is difficult to know where the gift can best be used. Gifts to the World Vision Gift Catalog Maximum Impact Fund are used where resources are most desperately needed, to help children and families in struggling communities around the world. With a financial contribution, the gift giver can select one of 36 Maximum Impact items that can be given to a loved one and at the same time help a person in need.
Help where it’s needed most … AND get a gift for yourself or someone you care about! With a gift of $60 or more to their Maximum Impact Fund — which provides for the unique needs of children and families worldwide — you will receive this gorgeous glass-bead necklace. It is handmade in Thailand, and it’s colorful necklace can be worn several different ways — even as a multi-stranded bracelet. Wear it yourself or bless a loved one with this beautiful reminder of your generosity!
I received this gorgeous necklace from World Vision Gift Catalog and it is very well made. I just love all the colors it has and it is a great addition to any outfit. As much as I want to keep this necklace I am going to give it as a gift. I know this person will enjoy it very much.

December 10, 2012 at 1:08 amI like that they strive to keep their operating costs low… 86% to the programs, 9% for fundraising, 5% management.
