Writing off donations to charity will get harder in 2018 due to changes introduced by the new tax law. Consider opening a donor-advised fund or donating through Betterment to retain the tax advantages of charitable donations.https://www.betterment.com/donating-stock/

How does charitable donations get harder in 2018? The threshold is higher since you have to itemize, but its not harder. A DAF lets you bunch gifts though.

Agreed. (I interpret that as less cost efficient, not harder/more difficult). I spend a lot of time looking at taxes.
