Can a for-profit rehab utilize volunteers?
482078
I suppose so, usually for-profit rehabs are for rich people who don't want anyone in their business (unless they're paid staff).  The non-profits are always looking for qualified volunteers though- send the volunteers to a non-profit where the money is low & resources are scarce....

You may be able to find a volunteer through local charities or voluntary advocacy services. failing that you could try to learn basic phrases in the persons mother tongue, or you can just carry on doing what you are doing and communicating on a human level, I'm sure they sense that you care and that's what really matters.

First of all, be clear in your mind why you are in this activity. Is it because someone told you that you can do this with public donations or because it will give you some lines to write in your C.V. ?  These are not good reasons for starting or running a Club with charitable motives. Your primary motivation has to be  service to the suffering people. When that work is done without selfish motives, you won't need to convince others about your credibility through any documentary evidence. The work speaks for itself.\n I will give you a personal experience. I run a Charitable Trust for helping the poor in Orissa. We have hardly ever gone asking for donations to the Trust. But the very poor people whom we help have done their own publicity for our work and help has been coming unsolicited. Recently one way side Tyre repairer came to my residence in Goa and offered a Blood Pressure Reading apparatus (SPHYGMOMANOMETER) for the rural clinic we run. He had heard from some body about my frequent trips to Orissa and the activities we carry on . When he felt like doing some charitable donation he remembered my work and thought of helping us. That is the power of honest work. It draws resources on its own and needs no publicity.\n\nYou work sincerely for a time and make it a part of your personality. You will not need to mention it in your C.V.  The work will  leave its stamp on your personality.

No, there is no profit in helping people. Only a do gooder amount is spent on helping people. What a shame it is in America that we can not take care of our own.

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.

That might be a tough one - Perverted Justice - the group that is accredited for NBC's "To Catch a Predator" is strictly volunteer based and is non-profit. They assist the community's law enforcement in helping to catch the sexual predators. With such a great achievement record and notoriety (and the fact they do it for FREE), it would be hard to "create" a "for-profit" business.

Most of the provisions for hurricane Katrina victims apply only to individuals who main home was in the affected area on August 25, 2005. There are a couple of things you might be able to use as a volunteer, such as the increase in the standard mileage rate for charitable use of vehicles and the exclusion from gross income mileage reimbursements to charitable volunteers. \n\nSome of it is pretty complicated, so here's a link:\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=152734,00.html\n\nAnd thanks for volunteering.

If in Alabama, try Disabled Veterans of America/Alabama(?).\nThey give away small household items (ex. kitchen shears) for donations.

If they want money, then they are employed, not volunteers.\n\nI think I am missing the point of your question.

NO!\nIf your serious about helping do not ask for money. Spend a few years volunteering for an non- profit 501c3 organization that helps people in this country.Learn how the business functions in every aspect.Establish a good reputation and save your money. You can start your own non-profit organization and qualify for government grants and aquire private donations.You can tailor the provisions you make to what is in your heart.\nYou might also think of becoming a nurse that specializes in third world countries health needs. Travel and help them first hand.

I give to the local Goodfellow Fund, a non profit human services agency in my area and the Area Agency on Aging Wheels on Meals program. My donations have tapered off in recent years due to my own limited income but this year I will give a donation to all of them regardless of how much money i have left. \nEvery year with the goodfellow fund at minimum I try to buy a paper that they sell on the street.\nThe area agency on aging can often obtain matching funds from our local newspaper.\nI work at the non profit and volunteer for many events in addition to adopting children/adults with physical disabilities, that are receiving services from our agency for the holidays through of Gift Wish List Program.\n\nI believe that giving is one of the best things that you can do-whether it be your time or your money it is a selfless act that i would encourage all to do.

What about charity work?

Some community work would look great.  Like volunteering at a homeless shelter or on a food line or food pantry.
