Let’s face it, the economy is bad right now. We don’t have all the money we’d like to donate to charity. So, do think it is better to have one charity that you support with one big donation, or do think it is better to donate lesser amounts to a variety of different charities?

It’s always nice to "spread the wealth," but if there’s a particular charity that’s near and dear to your heart … well, I see nothing wrong with supporting just one cause. It’s wonderful that you are willing to give, with (as you’ve stated) the economy as it is. I’m sure the charity you choose to support greatly appreciates your donation.

I’m doing a project on Muhammad Ali, and how he has helped the poor, and other charity work. Could someone help out?

Ali has also been a long-time supporter of research efforts to end Parkinson’s disease, a disease he has battled with since the age of 42. To further this goal, he formed the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, A.Z., which provides treatment, research, and education for patients and families affected by Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders regardless of ability to pay.

Does anyone else find this selfish and annoying?

For instance I was once approached in my local pub by a group of "firefighters" who were going to walk the Great Wall of China for charity. They wanted me to sponsor them, i.e., give them money. When I enquired further I found out that the sponsorship money would pay all their airfares, hotel fees etc and any money LEFT OVER would go to charity.

I think this pattern of behaviour is fairly common, i.e., people doing fairly selfish activities but tying it in with "charity work" in order to get finance. Why don’ they do something nearer home, for instance pick up all the needles in the public park "for charity" or something LESS selfish that would benefit the community?

I guess the basic answer is: because it works. A lot of people do give, especially if you can get children, cancer or heart disease in the title of your project.

There is a more serious point that often if you want to raise money on a big scale you have to come up with a big project that will attract publicity, that might attract corporate sponsors (who can get their own publicity from it) etc. Part of the event is often to raise awareness of the charity and its concerns.

If people approve of the cause but don’t want to pay for the holiday they can simply respond by saying that they’d give the money directly to the charity and cut out the irrelevant overhead. However the dismal truth is that more money tends to be raised even when you’ve taken off the expenses by sponsored events than by just asking people to give.

They expect the public to sponsor, because on the whole the public doesn’t question very much when you bandy about the phrase ’sick children’ .

So I guess I want to know, how much money do we make in this country? I mean as in personal salaries and corporate profits, how much money do we make? Furthermore, how much money does the government take in with taxes every year? And how much money do we give to charity?

I want to know just how charitable we are even when we’re not forced to give.

In total ,your looking at billions of dollars in all categories.
I don’t think the IRS has ever compiled all that info and released it,you should ask the IRS.

This may not make much sense, so I’ll explain. I do basic webpage designing as a hobby, and I wanted to put my skills to use by designing a basic webpage for a charitable organization. My skills are pretty basic. But I don’t want to have to pay for the domain or anything like that. Is there an online service or anything where I can get in touch with a genuine charity that could use my help?

that is sooooo sweet!
basic is better that none!
make good use of it and be proud!
go girl!

How can I start my own charity foundation?

Posted by admin On January - 24 - 2010

I’m 16 and have been a volunteer for various charities. I however would like to start my own charity foundation for children in need. For hunger, education etc.
I also would like to start a second one for animals.

My question is where should I start? Other people in my age don’t take me serious and said for what I want to waste my time on something that wont work. I believe it can work but I need a beginning and people who believe in it.

Honestly, the reason people don’t take you serious is. So many people want to start there own monetary charity’s for there own personal financial gain.

The best way to start is talk to a bank, to set you up to collect funds to pass onto the recognized named charity’s.

How many here have donated to charity for the Haitian people help alleviate the sufferings?

Spiritually and religiously, what is your explanation for the sufferings of Haitian?

No, I have not donated. What happened to the almost 3 billion dollars the US has given Haiti since 1992? Where did that go?

I am begging to collect my change in a jar and I have quite a bit, And I want to donate it to Charity, but all the charities I have looked up online have a pay monthly bu credit card deal. So if you know any or how to donate what I have when I have by cash donation please tell me. :]

I would prefer An environmental charity, a Child abuse abuse charity, or an animal rights/abuse charity. Thank you.

Wow there are so many worthy ones, if you dropped the money off at the SPCA they would be happy to take it, You could send a check to a charity and they would all accept donations. This time of year you could buy canned goods and donate it to a food bank, or to a homeless shelter.

There is also the American Red Cross, Salvation Army as well as PETA.

This year I decided to donate to the local food bank to help out families hurt by the recession.

Donate wherever your heart tells you and you can’t go wrong.

What is a good international charity to donate to?

Posted by admin On January - 15 - 2010

I want to start giving to a charity. Something in a country other than the United States that will go towards under privaledged children or families in need. Does anyone have any good ideas?

Dale, pap is like drivel, it does not mean much, just take up space. As to charities I stopped donating to manline charities long ago when I found out where all the money was going. In Mississippi for instance, one can be listed as a charity by using only 2% for purposes collected for. Look up the salaries of some of these charities CEOs. Years ago I read of one that drew 500K a years. Think of how much T V time costs. It all comes out of donations. The very best efforts at donation comes from knowning, really knowing here the money goes. All monies donated to th shriners hospitals for children are used 100% for the purpose give( I am not a shriner by the way) and I have experienced local charity movements that are outstanding. There is the Habitat for Hope in Memphis,Tenn(I am not from Memphis) who does tremendous work with families at local hospitals, especially the LeBonHeur children’s hospitalI(I am not from Memphis). Search around, there are local churches who have food and toy drives and such like. Get involved but be careful.
