n-thing the "talk to a cpa" advice. One thing I've heard done is to have the charity pay you full rate and then donate money to the charity. They end up with a lower outlay for the work you did and you have a charitable donation. Of course in that situation you have to count the full billed rate as income. A CPA can help you figure out if that situation would work for you and if it would be financially advantageous in your particular situation.
