Thought question: is it better to pay $50 for 2 hours of volunteer time to a charity or just donate that $50 to the charity?

I honestly don't know the answer, but would love to hear what other people think.

My quick take is that it's probably better to give the $50 to the charity because they are better prepared to make a decision on how it should be used. With that being said, I can see how a lot more people might be willing to pay Exec for volunteer hours because of the feel good factor.

Regardless, I think it's an great initiative.
