Yes, I was surprised to read that as I am unaware of there even being a
threshold below which a donation doesn't bring a tax advantage to the donor.

Steve,
Are you referring to me:
"I'm told by our treasurer the value of the donation is below the threshold
for tax advantage, so it makes no difference there."?
I don't remember saying anything like that.
