Way to Help # 3 Donate Lots of Money

OK, we're only kind of kidding.
If you have a sizable sum to donate but are concerned about receiving an appropriate tax deduction, please contact a family member. We will of course, be happy to work something out with the help of our tax attorney.
UPDATE: AFTER MANY MANY CALLS TO OUR TAX ATTORNEY, WE ARE SAD TO SAY THAT WE ACTUALLY CAN NOT OFFER A DEDUCTION AFTER ALL :( WE ARE SORRY THAT WE SPOKE TOO SOON.
Our tax attorney said that there is only one way to get around it, which is to ask a foundation (for example, a Lyme disease foundation) to accept the donation on our behalf, and get them to agree to make Joe their cause. This sounds terribly complicated. But if you have any ideas for us, please share. We'd love to hear them.
