If the discount rate used for present value equals the interest rate of the investment, then the amount of funds today equals the present value. Some charities have an urgent need at the present, such as earthquake aid or feeeding people in a famine. If one gives later, it would be too late. Fred Foldvary ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED]
