In fact, it might well be better economically to do 'em for free and deduct your usual rate (not the cut rate) from taxes as a charitable donation, providing you have other income from which to take the deductions.
That's how it is done here. I've never charged for any NH gigs (and neither have any other local players), but as you say, it will depend on where you live and if there is an entertainment budget provided.
