I know someone who offered to make a donation to a charitable cause. The donation was to go to a new facility?

Make it polite but firm and make sure they understand how she feels about this.

Payed for three kids to go to a basketball clinic because they did not have the money to go. The parents were called and said their children would be able to go. They were told someone paid their way. They still dont know who made the donation.

There is an organization called Combined Federal Campaign.\n\nThis allows people who work for the government to donate money to worthy causes.\n\nIn the booklet they distribute to entice employees to donate, they have a listing as to what percentage of donations go to the charity.\n\nOrganization that have overhead costs of 25% or more are flagged.\n\nI'm not certain how you could get ahold of this booklet, but it would give a start to determine where to donate.

My mom works for the American Kidney Fund. \n\nhttp://www.kidneyfund.org/\n\nThey send her a list of people who have donated clothes and other personal items in the past, and all she has to do is call them and see if they will donate again. They strictly collect items not money via the telephone so people are more generous. She is paid by how many pick ups are made from her lists and it is a great cause. \n\nGood Luck =)

only if they made it clear at the beginning of the asking of donations that they intended to purchase school property. I'm hguessing they didn't because who would agree with that? I suggest calling the newspaper or television news. When someone shows up and starts asking them about this I am sure they will change their minds

I am shocked to read this question... and not in a position to comment... I request you please do not do it... donation does not mean charging money…I hope you would take it in a positive way...

Try the United Way, they donate to all kinds of charities.  You give them $100 and say $20 divided 5 ways to each of these five charities.

It all depends on what is if for. Since I will be spending this dollar, I believe at least I need to know what is it for. I would usually do it if it's for a good cause (feeding kids, paying for a hospital bill, etc). If you're asking for this donation to buy liquor, drugs, etc, I would rather send you an advice that hopefully would make you think twice about these topics.

That's a great idea to cheer someone up for the holidays. I'd love to do it personally, but unfortunately I'm time constrained and don't live near a VA hospital. Are there organizations that do this that I could donate to?

There is a way - a totally new campaign - you may correctly guess the name! The Red Corner Campaign!\n\nIt is much bigger than a referral campaign - and does not rely on donations.  It is time that charity became commercially viable - on a global scale and without compromising the charitable and altruistic nature of private and corporate donations.\n\nWe will leverage the power of the socially responsible consumer, the power of charity brands and the surge in support for ethical and charitable causes to deliver sustainable funding for the causes we care about.\n\nRed Corner is pre-launch - so you won't find us on the web - but in 2007 you will definitely hear - very loudly and very powerfully.\n\nRedCorner is coming.\n\nRed Corner will enable sustainable private sector charitable funding in billions within a few short years of launch.

Well thats kind of tricky. How do you think you will get the money from the website itslef? i mean come on, unless you set up a website with a paypall account ,where people can enter there bank info, and select any amount of money they want to donate, i dont think its possible, unless you do it that way. \n\nGood luck, to both of you

Two great recipients would be your local or state chapter of the American Diabetes Association (www.diabetes.org) and the Joslin Diabetes Clinic in Boston (www.joslin.org) - Joslin is the leading diabetes research and treatment organization in the country.\n\nHelpful suggestion - make sure you figure this out BEFORE your fundraiser, because it's illegal to do such a fundraiser without being able to tell contributors where their money will go.\n\nGood luck!

One day I needed some extra money so one day I got all my old stuff together instead of giving it to the salvation army I had a garage sale. It worked out pretty well. I do this every summer and I also donate half to the children's hospital. Like the bible say: Give and it should be given unto you press down shaken together and ruineth over. Also a candy store is not a bad idea.

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.
