Charitable Giving Ideas

Though there are enough ideas to propel one’s fundraising ambition, there are certain ground rules to follow while attempting to raise funds. First of all you may need to define in concise terms, everything about your project and its objectives. Ask yourself, how your fundraising effort helps society as a whole. How many people will get the benefit? What exactly are you going to do with those funds? Will it help you to grow personally and socially?

Once you’ve laid a solid groundwork, look for fresh and innovative ideas, which are different and beneficial to hundreds of people. The ideas you choose must be socially feasible and economically viable. Never cling to those ideas which are common and repetitive. You may also take care to see that you are not repeating the same idea, which is currently pursued by other people. Let your ideas be innovative and universally beneficial

Once you decide to use the fund for a specific purpose, you’ve already taken the first stride in philanthropy. Many of the common ideas include raffles, lottery, sweepstakes, contests on entry charges, shows, dinners, music concerts, sales of different kinds, fashion shows and other similar ideas. Ultimately, you’ll have to decide about the type of fundraising event, that best fits your local requirements.

However, there is a quality tag attached to every idea; it is doesn’t make a real practical sense, if your fundraising idea is costly. Remember that your aim is to raise funds for your charitable activity and not spending excessively on organizing the fundraising event itself. The event you are planning must not be too flashy or expensive; such simple events will save money in many areas. Try to save money wherever possible; money saved is money spent on non profit, charitable activities.

Charitable Giving Christmas

Question: we desperately need charitable help (especially for xmas) but where can i go to apply/ask for it ?

my husband was injured at his last job and has been unable to work for months. we are barely getting by, about to be evicted, and i’m scared we won’t be able to give our son who’s only 1 christmas. my sister told me that last year her best friend’s family was “adopted” by a lady at tinker and she helped them and i’ve heard of “christmas connection” but i don’t know where to go, who to call, or basically how to go about asking or applying for the help. the only info i can find is all about ranking/ratings of different charities, where and how to donate to, or volunteer at them. we missed the last emsa backseat buddy day, and i haven’t even been able to find any other places or programs that will help me get a carseat for my little boy. i’d really deeply appreciate any information and/or help anyone might have.
thank you & happy holidays

Answer: Your son is only 1, he has no concept of Christmas. He certainly will not even notice if he gets nothing. For neccesities like food and carseats, look in the yellow pages under charitable organizations- there are lots of "family aid" resources that will help you out. If you are looking for money to buy a PS3, you should really think about your priorities in life.

Charitable Giving Down

Question: What do they know that we don’t ?

Bill Gates has stepped down from Microsoft’s CEO to concentrate on his Charitable Foundation (Kudos to Him). He has also donated the bulk of his wealth to the charity and again, I applaud his philanthropy.

Warren Buffet decides, in the same month to give away the better part of his worth to the same foundation.

My question is this: Why are these incredibly wealthy people all of a sudden feeling compelled (at this time) to give so much of their fortunes to charity ?

What is it about TODAY that is making these incriebly wealthy people so charitable What do they know that we don’t ?

Answer: That is an excellent question.

One theory....

When an individual has such an enormous amount of wealth and is so successful in their career and lives, at some point, they feel compelled to give back to the people in this world, who so obviously need financial assistance.

In addition to numerous wonderful causes, Mr. and Mrs. Gates have publicly expressed a desire and their decision to fund the redesign of the educational system in America. In my opinion, they couldn't be more on the money (no pun intended).

Mr. Buffet obviously respects and shares their beliefs and worthy causes and appears to have made the generous decision to join them in their efforts.

I think the public should be grateful and applaud them for their generosity.
