Receipts, donation documentation, qualified organizations, and business vs. personal giving records can pile up quickly. Spending as little as 15 minutes a day to organize can make year-end planning and tax preparation much smoother.

A few things to review:

- Keep receipts and supporting documentation together
- Confirm records for charitable contributions
- Separate business and personal giving
- Make sure your files are complete and easy to find
