Have a non-profit sports team and trying to get donations, but if a donation is big enough or from a company they request your number.

It is a complicated process that includes filing with the IRS and having a board, audits, etc.  Is there a broader organization that you fall under that could filter the donations for you?  For example, the amateur sports association.  That would be MUCH easier.

At this time of year I get a generous amount of requests for donations.  I use to donate to almost all of them, but after I started looking into the charities, I found that some of them were not registered with anything and I suspect the donation money was going to some greedy people in the name of Charity.  That is so disgusting. Now I only donate to organizations that can prove they are for real!  I know that so many many people need help and really deserve it-- I am willing to donate to as many charities as I can but only to those who are truly in need.

Just start knocking on doors and making phone calls. One tip is to focus on locally owned businesses. Very often in large chain stores or multibranch companies the manager has little control over the money or over donations and trying to get anything out of them is a hassle.

You need to consider setting up a non-profit organization. I don't think you are going to be successful in soliciting donations without this status. Or, maybe you could partner with a non-profit in your area that has the same goals?\n\nA nonprofit organization (abbreviated "NPO", or "non-profit" or "not-for-profit") is an organization whose primary objective is to support some issue or matter of private interest or public concern for non-commercial purposes. Nonprofits may be involved in an innumerable range of areas relating to the arts, charities, education, politics, religion, research, sports or some other endeavor.\n\nIn the United States, nonprofit organizations are normally formed by incorporating in the state in which they expect to do business. The act of incorporating creates a legal entity enabling the organization to be treated as a corporation under law and to enter into business dealings, form contracts, and own property as any other individual or for-profit corporation may do.\n\nIn the United States, after a recognized type of legal entity has been formed at the state level, it is customary for the nonprofit organization to seek tax exempt status with respect to its income tax obligations. That is typically done by applying to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), although statutory exemptions exist for limited types of nonprofit organizations. The IRS, after reviewing the application to ensure the organization meets the conditions to be recognized as a tax exempt organization (such as the purpose, limitations on spending, and internal safeguards for a charity [1]), may issue an authorization letter to the nonprofit granting it tax exempt status for income tax payment, filing, and deductibility purposes. The exemption does not apply to other Federal taxes such as employment taxes. Additionally, a tax-exempt organization must pay federal tax on income that is unrelated to their exempt purpose.[2] Failure to maintain operations in conformity to the laws may result in an organization losing its tax exempt status.\n\nAlso in the United States, individual states and localities offer nonprofits exemptions from other taxes such as sales tax or property tax. Federal tax-exempt status does not guarantee exemption from state and local taxes. These exemptions generally have separate application processes and their requirements may differ from the IRS requirements. Furthermore, even a tax exempt organization may be required to file annual financial reports at the state and federal level.\n\nCapacity building is an ongoing problem faced by nonprofits that rely on external funding to maintain their operations, largely because nonprofit organizations have little control over their source(s) of revenue. Increasingly in the United States, many nonprofits rely on government funds to support their operations, often through grants, contracts, or customer-sided subsidies, such as vouchers or tax credits. Some nonprofits may also rely primarily on support from charitable foundations and donations. Changes in these sources of revenue may influence the reliability or predictability with which the organization can hire and retain staff, sustain facilities, or create programs. Increasingly, there are few sources of revenue that allow nonprofits to develop their organizational capacities.

The desire to make charitable donations usualy comes from within.  Therefore, if it ain't there it just ain't there.  Doesn't make you terrible.  However, I'd like to suggest that you volunteer to be of help in your local Special Olympics organization.  The faces of the children and happiness exhibited in all participants will be a priceless reward for your service and your service will be worth more than the dollars you are uncomfortable and unwilling to give.

Usually the HUD people will help relocate them. Check into it before you start fundraising. Also if you don't form a non-profit status, you will have to pay income tax on any money you raise, even if you do give it away. Hope those people are ok though.

Ask some of your local businesses, that what most people do. Here a girl's softball team approached mine and another man's business and we contributed for Uniforms and some equipment. I even went to most of their Games and brought them Snacks and Drinks. It was fun and there many out there that will do this, IF, the team will go around and Ask and Inform the potential Sponsor(s)\nDo not underestimate the small businesses too, Heck, Bob's Bar and Grill may surprise you, or, Julie's Bouncing Animal Pet Shop. ;-)

If I'm not mistaken, a 501(c)3 has to list its donors on its 990 form to the IRS. While that isn't necessarily a public document, you should have access to it as a member of the board.

You have to have it state their name, description of service provided.  Amount of item donated (if it be time, mileage or actual item)\n\nIt has to have your tax exempt Company name and number on it and signed.\n\nPreferably on letterhead from the organization

try getting permission from the business, if you donated a portion to charity they might let you.
