The Partners and legal staff of Cramer & Anderson\u2019s office in Danbury channeled their holiday spirit into donations to regional organizations devoted to advancing peace over violence, and embracing dignity and hope and over hate and discord.<\/p>\n

The opportunity for one of the impactful donations came from the Greater Danbury Bar Association<\/a> (GDBA). Having canceled the holiday party amid COVID, it suggested members instead send checks equal to the cost of attending the annual event to bundle into a donation to The Association of Religious Communities<\/a> (ARC), based in Danbury.<\/p>\n

ARC\u2019s mission is \u201cto alleviate the causes of violence, suffering, and hate, while advancing peace, justice, and human dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cramer & Anderson<\/a> Partner Jennifer Collins<\/a> reached out to her fellow Partners in the Danbury office\u2014Dan Casagrande<\/a>, Kim Nolan<\/a>, and Lisa Rivas<\/a>\u2014and all agreed to participate. A check was sent to the GDBA the day before Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Greater Danbury Bar Association is very involved in the community and this was a wonderful way to turn a negative\u2014the inability to hold a holiday party\u2014into a positive for families who are truly struggling through this winter of COVID,\u201d said Attorney Casagrande, a Municipal Law<\/a> Partner who has served as Outside Assistant Corporation Counsel for the\u00a0City of Danbury<\/a> since 1990.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very heartening to look at ARC\u2019s Facebook page<\/a> and see the outpouring of donations of food for families and holiday gifts for children,\u201d added Attorney Collins, whose practice focuses on Workers\u2019 Compensation<\/a>, Personal Injury<\/a>, and Social Security Disability<\/a> law.<\/p>\n

The legal staff in the Danbury office, meanwhile, also arranged an initiative to give back during the holiday season. In place of a traditional holiday breakfast held before the Christmas break. Paralegal Jessica Cavalier collected monetary donations from attorneys and staff and partnered with the Women\u2019s Center of Greater Danbury<\/a> to create a holiday gift basket to help a local family have brighter holidays.<\/p>\n

The gift basket included gift cards, toys for the children, and a few gifts for the Mom.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone was truly inspired by Jessica\u2019s idea to replace our breakfast event with an effort to aid the Women\u2019s Center’s mission of combating and ending domestic violence by assisting a family that needs help this holiday season,\u201d said Partner Lisa Rivas, an Immigration Law<\/a> attorney. \u201cCramer & Anderson has had attorneys on the Women\u2019s Center\u2019s board and we always have a team participating in the SafeWalk<\/a> event to raise much-needed funds for services like the emergency residential facility, counseling, advocacy, and education.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded in 1975, the Women\u2019s Center has provided a safe haven as the sole provider of services to victims of domestic and sexual violence in the Northern Fairfield and Southern Litchfield County areas. It\u2019s Facebook page<\/a> reflects its efforts this winter and the donations coming in this holiday season.<\/p>\n

Those who want to join in the spirit of holiday giving and make end-of-the-year donations should be aware of a special new income tax provision<\/a> that allows taxpayers to\u00a0deduct up to $300 in donations<\/a> to qualifying charities made before December 31, 2020.<\/p>\n

The measure, designed to help sustain tax-exempt organizations in these difficult times, is an outgrowth of the\u00a0Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act<\/a> enacted last spring\u2014and even those who don\u2019t itemize will be able to easily take the deduction when filing their taxes in 2021.<\/p>\n
