Everyone!
Don't forget! RWVA operates as a 501(c)3, otherwise known as a non-profit organization. This means that donations to RWVA/Appleseed are TAX DEDUCTABLE on your personal income tax return.
If you are looking for a tax deduction for 2010:
1. Give to your church
2. Give to RWVA
Donations to RWVA / Appleseed can be made here: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/525098584
IRS tax guidelines for charitable contributions are located here:

(Please note: I am not an accountant. You should check with your accountant and IRS regulations to verify that donations to the RWVA/Appleseed project are tax deductable. I have spoken with my accountant and she tells me they are eligible.)

So relevant information you showed here. I was searching such tax deductible approach and got it here in your post. I think this is good way of donation with tax deduction. One of my friend also use to donate at such places. I will start doing this from next month.
Also mileage driven for charitable purposes can be entered as a deduction.
