Although it is unlikely to be worth giving to charity for the tax deduction alone, there are many benefits if time is taken in planning. Consider donating through the payroll system if it is offered, be aware of your goals in giving to charity by identifying long and short-term donations, and compare the structures of different charities in terms of control, compliance and responsibility. By adopting a more strategic approach and making donations on a consistent long-term basis, more is to be gained by both your chosen charity and yourself in terms of deductions.
