I've been offered a part-time position with a 501c3 entity that I've been making regular donations to. It comes with a salary that's lower than what my donations are, so I don't know how to treat this. I don't donate enough to itemize my deductions, so on the surface it seems like it would be better to simply decline the salary and reduce my donations (so the net contribution stays the same), while simultaneously reducing both my tax burden and the 501c3. Is this an appropriate way to handle the situation from a tax perspective?
