Approaching the Year’s End

We are approaching Giving Tuesday and the month of December, when the hearts of many (in the United States, at least) turn to charity or, anyway, to tax deductions. We know that there are thousands of worthy causes out there, and we hope that none of them is neglected. Still, among all of their competing claims and amidst the wonders and the pressures of Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Boxing Day, Kwanzaa, and New Year’s Day, we ask that you please remember the Interpreter Foundation as you plan your year-end giving. Happy holidays!

For more information about donating to The Interpreter Foundation, please visit this page:

We wish you the best and hope that you enjoy the holiday season that is upon us.

Sincerely,

The Interpreter Foundation
