You know, there's no reason you couldn't bill full rate, make a donation, get a reciept, and write it off your taxes!
That is the way to go!
You can make the donation anytime...for an amount you decide won't hurt your bottomline in any way shape or form.
It's a win-win situation...they may not even realize it from their EC - accounting dept. at church probably doesn't keep any record of how much was donated by whom and when.
