Great way to keep your points from expiring or if you're a bit short for that next trip!
American Airlines [redcross.org] - AAdvantage members can earn 10 miles for every dollar donated
United Airlines [crowdrise.com]
I'm not seeing other major US Airlines with similiar offers on their website but that could change soon so check them out periodically.

this valur may still apply "Each mile is valued at 3 cents apiece, so your tax deduction may be limited."

for every dollar, only 70 cents will be tax deductible

i.e. if your marginal tax bracket is 25%, the cost of each mile ends up being about 7.5 cents (as that 30 cents would yield a 7.5 cent tax savings)

I think your decimal is too far to the right.
there are many organizations doing donation drive, even individuals in the name of harvey. i'm posting a travel deal related offer for those who are interested.
Any other easy ways to add activity?
