I Need Answers Here!! Everyone Answer Please!! It's About Charity!!! Thanks!!!

Wow! Thanks for the link, I scanned it for now and it looks very informative! I'll have to really go over it later when I have more time! :) Well, I did't want to go into a ton of details right here right now--I'm not sure my charity idea has ever been done and I thought it would be fun to be the first one. Plus, I think maybe being the first of a charity might make the government more willing to give grants. That's why I mentioned it helps people and animals; maybe someone supports one over the other. But let's just say my charity was something you support, how much could you afford to donate? I'm not trying to ge too personal, it sounds like you already donate to other charities. But I'm just trying to guess-timate on what donations I could possibly bring in.

Here's some additional information on using Squidoo to promote and get money for your charity: http://hubpages.com/hub/A-5-step-process-to-get-donations-to-your-charity-organization (notice that your Tax exemption certificate (501c3 information) figures here). Here's Squidoo's page: http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo-charity-giveaway but there are also ways in which Squidoo users can be persuaded to donate their earnings on Squidoo to a particular charity. There are many other article-based, social sites, survey sites, search sites and other earning sites where you can promote your charity and opt to have earnings, funds and donations directed to your cause. Setting up a charity properly is no less of a business proposition than any other moneymaking business. All established charities understand that it makes good economic sense to use some of the funds generated towards administration, promotion and even salaries for some staff. The better your promotion and the more businesslike your organisation, the more funds you are likely to generate, so paying for some services will usually generate more funds than it costs.

The amount of cash I donate to charities has reduced since last year and I have been more choosy about what charities I support. In order to balance this, I have joined one or two sites which, instead of paying me for my involvement, donate to selected charities. Many of these are UK-specific sites but some are international. One of my criterions is that, preferably, the charity should be UK based. Of course, there are many International charities that I would support (Amnesty International, for example) and a number of classes of charity which I don't support out of principle, though I don't deny that they are reputable organisations. My preference tends to go to Cancer research and support organisations and a number of other broadly medical charities.

Since I'm no longer working I could make a one time donation. Would need some kind of receipt and that's about it. All donations are deductible and my husband gets anal about it...lol

I would provide houseing for victims of abuse. And any donated item would be helpful in some way or another, I would take anything happily :D Thanks carol!!! :)

lol yeah!! the fact that donations are tax deductible it defeniatly a big plus!!! Thanks carol! :)

That's still really good to know that I would have help from more people, no matter how often it would be! :) Thanks Thorough

I would be providing housing for abuse victims, and I would also have a little space for an animal rescue with the house.
