I don't think a legit registered Charity would advertise on youtube. Probably a scam.\n\nIf you have their registration number check here:\n\nhttp://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/registeredcharities/first.asp

I would decided first of all which charity you're going to support with your efforts. Next, become familiar with that organization, its mission statement and the clients it serves. Volunteer there. Seriously. If you're going to raise money and ask for donations, you need to be behind your cause 150%. Otherwise people will just see right through you. \n\nTo set the walk up, I'd talk to the director of the agency, or possibly even the board of directors (if it's a local charity!). Then, pick a date and and find a location that will support you. Next, start looking for businesses to donate prizes to you. Don't forget about refreshments (food & beverages). After all, if you're charging admission, you want to make sure that they have something to get into! \n\nMake sure that if you're working with a 501(c)(3) that you're working within their tax-exempt guidelines. \n\nTalk to radio stations & TV stations to help publicize & cover the event for you...\n\nGood luck!

You know people have the tendency to ignore causes like this, and therefore they don't answer the question if is a matter of giving, I never heard of this fund before but I feel compassion for them people, I will send a contribution to the address you stated there, thanks for being helpful to another human being..☺

No, I think it's a good thing.  Sure they might get paid for it, sure they could donate the money themselves, but it also draws the attention of everyone else to make donations too.  More people are likely to donate to X charity because X celebrity, who they like, did it.  It also brings more awareness to some of the smaller charities that don't get much spotlight or notice.

You have to solicit the corporate sponsors, but I think you would be surprised how many will actually donate.  Write a letter, make phone calls, try to set up face-to-face meetings.  \n\nAlso, individual store managers sometimes are given a small discretionary fund with which to make donations (supermarkets, etc.).  \n\nYou are doing noble work.  God bless and continued success!!

It's not a scam in that they do give away all the prizes that they claim (high visibility in a heavily regulated industry). However, your chances of winning are so small as to be practically non-existent.

Although I am not doing anything for Children In Need, I work for ICAP which holds a charity day every year. The trading floor consists of hundreds of brokers in fancy dress and with lots of celebrities walking about all day.\n\nAll brokerage fees made that day go to charity. Last year we raised £5.2million for several charities. \n\nhttp://www.icap.com/about_the_group/charity_day/\n\nWe are determined to beat that on the 7th December this year.

Some things I've done with my school are like hosting a Battle of the Bands or hosting your own personal car show. Advertise your cause alot, it's a lot easier for people to pay for something that's for a good cause. Another good idea might be to do crafty things, like make bracelets and beaded keychains? Tye-Dye is always attractive, pretty easy to do, Wal-mart has cheap dye that's FUN. Lol, that's all I got, good luck with your fundraiser.

In a small local election maybe $10,000 or so which could be raised in fundraising. A larger one like mayor would be $50-60,000 because you want to have plenty of money to run mudslinging ads about your opponents.

You are not a charity, so no one can give you a donation. Just working hard and being in debt is not going to get you a lot of sympathy. Money management is something that should be taught in school. That will help you more than a donation.

Sometimes peoples willingness to help might surprise you, specially around the christmas season, but you gotta realize also that people are very untrusting nowadays, I would say to raffle rather cheap items and state that the proceeds will go to this family in need. Try to contact the media, or your local radio stations, they migth be willing to help. Hope i was of some help, Really wish you the best, i hope you do get to help out this family

Depends on the size of it, and how much you're willing to spend. I worked for a small one for a while, and I used my grandmother's church banquet hall to put on a cute informal come and go buffet (that we sold tickets for $5 to) and had some other churches around the city have members donate their time to cook for us. So all in all we spent less than $100, and we made more than $600, however, we were pretty tiny as far as some non-profits go and that was big bucks for us. I doubt that that's the best thing to do, but a 500% profit was really nice! Plus it was good just to get our name out, especially when we worked in conjunction with pretty much the whole Methodist population of our city, we got more volunteers out of it, even.
