I want to be fair about this and say to you that it's not necessarily that just because my organization has 5,000 volunteer members, you're going to get 5,000 people applying for a $1,000 or $2,000 tax deduction. That's not fair.
We have a search-and-rescue management system that keeps an eye on each individual member, and if he or she puts in 100 hours, we know about it, and they become, of course, eligible. If they put in 200 hours, then they become eligible.
Maybe I shouldn't be saying this right now, but at this particular point in time I would, at a guess, say that we're looking at about 600 of our 5,000 members who would qualify for the $1,000 deduction. And again, in all honesty and fairness, we're looking at about 400 who would benefit from the $2,000 deduction. So I want you to know that in the grand scheme of things, you shouldn't look at the whole picture in our case, because some of our members don't put in 200 hours a year.
Thank you.
