Reason #1 for Giving to PSR – Tax Deduction and Much More
PSR Philadelphia is a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization established in 1979. Our mission is to promote social responsibility by protecting health, the environment and communities through
education, training, direct service, and advocacy.
We welcome your contribution in order to receive a 2016 tax deduction, but there is a
better reason to give to PSR.
A tax-deduction is practical.
It means, for example that if you give $1000 to PSR before December 31, 2016 and you are in the 25% tax bracket, a $1,000 tax deduction saves you $250 in tax (0.25 x $1,000 = $250).
But for PSR it means that you have chosen to support physicians who have taken an oath, which in part includes, in modern translation…
First do no harm.
While healthcare offers treatment and hope
for patients to be well and lead a healthier life,
they often treat the symptoms of disease and not the cause.
Physicians also want to prevent disease
and reduce the
risk of suffering.
Here at PSR, physicians and healthcare professionals volunteer,
and have made a decision that their time spent on
environmental justice may be
the one
altruistic relic of society
that will prevent
illness and disease.
The tax-deduction is nice at the end of our year,
t prevention is nice for a lifetime.
