Generosity is an anti-depressant. Depressed people were randomly assigned to give less than a penny a day to charity. Over the next 2 months, moods improved and depression declined. The more they gave, the better they felt. Even small acts of kindness elevate mental health.

Heard my friend @ndlaw @NDNonprofitProf on @MorningEdition this morning talking tax law. Lloyd is always an expert at explaining two things: some complicated law issue in a way you can understand, and *why* it’s important.
