Attention Taxpayers: DonorTravel.com Offers Unique Way to Travel, Give Back, Earn Tax Benefit

Consumers booking travel on DonorTravel.com help support a variety of charitable and non-profit causes and receive tax deductions.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 13, 2005 -- Tax time is here. As we scramble to collect our receipts and itemize deductions before the April 15 deadline, one Bay Area firm offers taxpayers everywhere a creative new concept for benefiting from charitable giving.

Thanks to DonorTravel.com, the only online travel booking resource offering the best values available and the benefit of supporting a variety of charitable and non-profit causes, consumers can book travel, give back to the community and get a tax break all with a single click.

My intent was to deliver all of these options to travelers and leave them with a feeling of satisfaction after booking with us," said Louis Willacy, who founded DonorTravel.com earlier this year as part of Oakland-based Interactive Travel Group. There certainly are other travel websites to go to, but what makes us unique is our broad-based selection of inventory and our ability to donate half of all commissions to help support global relief efforts, medical research and minority education, among other causes."

Heres how it works. Airfare, hotels, car rentals, cruises and vacation packages are posted on the easy-to-navigate DonorTravel.com site. Prices are competitive and the travel selection is among the most comprehensive available online. Once a purchase is made, visitors can select from a hand-picked list of charitable organizations which will receive funds from their travel spend. DonorTravel.com then contributes 50% of all booking commissions to be distributed to the preferred organizations after travel is fulfilled, or immediately if a reservation is pre-paid.

Travel preferences and charitable giving is captured online in secure user profiles. Donations are automatically calculated and a receipt is provided to the traveler for record-keeping and tax purposes. Everything is very simple and straightforward, explained Willacy, who says the demographic his site attracts is a sophisticated traveler who knows what they want and is willing to invest in it. The tax break is a value-add to the good feeling of giving back.

Talk about a tax tip. This is a great tax benefit. People are getting fantastic travel, tax deductions, and supporting good causes," said Willacy.
