Charity, as I hope everyone remembers, begins with a tax deduction. If you didn’t have the cash to contribute in 2007, I hope you charged it. And, likewise, if you don’t have the cash when it comes time to contribute in 2008, go ahead and charge it. The deduction is allowed in the year of the charge, not when you actually pay the bill.
Get a receipt from the charity to which you made a donation, and, if you’re still worried about documentation, get the credit card company to send you their record of the transaction.
