HHH Celebrates Its Volunteers During National Volunteer Week April 18-24, 2010. We Couldn't Do What We Do Without "Them".

Olivia is one of the Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue Volunteers

Olivia Larson is a volunteer at Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue and also the Founder's daughter. She works hard with her horses and with the rescue as well. She is a busy gal who always makes time for her beloved equine friends. Her winning the NUZZLE contest had a lot to do with us starting up our rescue. We learned a lot about rescues and how they operated. Olivia is active in the Bismarck Horse Club and the Bismarck English Riders Club (secretary). Olivia was recently selected as one of the top 50 finalists for Justine Magazine's cover girl contest out of thousands of entries across US and Canada so she was very excited to have been a part of that.

VOLUNTEER TODAY! - You never know what can happen, who you will meet and what you will learn!

Volunteers in the United States can receive tax deductions from the federal government on many costs associated with volunteering, such as mileage and other travel expenses, paper, copying, convention attendance fees, parking, uniforms (if the volunteer purchases his or her own), etc. These deductions apply ONLY if you are NOT getting reimbursed for these expenses by the organization you are assisting, and you are itemizing on your tax form (not if you use the 1040 EZ form).

Hours spent volunteering are not deductible. Pro-bono consulting may be, if you have a bill for the time you contributed performing work that, as a professional, you are usually paid for. Many agencies and pro bono consultants handle this situation by having the consultant bill the agency, then the agency pays the bill, and the consultant donates that money back to the agency. Talk with an accountant for more information.
