With the end of the fiscal year quickly approaching, people are hurrying to make their final donations of 2012, and many shluchim are looking to be the lucky receivers.
Fun facts:

· 33% of December donations occur on December 31.
· The peak giving time on December 31 is between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. in any given time zone.
