Warren Buffet and Bill Gates at a fund raiser!
HOW WORKING IN SMALL CHARITY CONCEPTS CAN bring YOU THE LOCAL TYCOONS, the BILL GATES OF TOMORROW as a friend, even mate.Got a great idea for a small, easy to do charity? Mine was SCHOLARSHIPS for latch key kids at local daycares. But there are other ideas: OLD SHOES FOR HOMELESS men in the park, (SOCKS/UNDERWEAR TOO). OVERCOATS for the homeless. There's always an idea not yet done. There's always a gameplan for some very IMPRESSIVE charity that you can do to a.) help the needy and b.) MEET EVERY RICH handsome brilliant MAN IN TOWN and get yourself married!
So, seek out a needy sector. Take note of WHO you see daily around you that's needy. Skid row latchkey kids? Well, you don't see them as they're locked in one room cold water flats getting a lobotomy from a l0" B&W TV while their moms work! How about homeless guys in the park? Find PEOPLE who need helping then find the guys who are ALREADY helping, like PASTORS. They are the best ones. Local Churches that have daycares or soup kitchens. And create yourself as a party giving funder! PARTY FUN INDEX
USE CRAIGS LIST to get small needed things SENT to pastors, with whom you pre-arrange DISTRIBUTION. There are freebie ads daily, put your own up --seeking TOYS for children. Or Warm coats, used clothing or SCHOOL SUPPLIES, used books. You collect clothes, toys, books for poor families doing this at your living room group or PARTIES. YOUR CHURCH can locate and select an even larger group of poor families.
I WOULD TAKE TIME to show you how to open ten addresses, all answering to your machine.
you@hotmail
you@gmail
I would send you an invitation for GMAIL. I think it's still invitational only. I got in on the ground floor when they began, invited in by a tekkie. (Have twenty GMAIL ADDIES. shhhhhh!)CRAIGS LIST lets you do a few ads a day per category. I do fifty a day because I'm driven. I have l00 different email addies. I run the FREE SCHOOL OF LIFE. That's how I learned that saving the world is what stay at home senior gals do best! So think about it. At first, you and I WOULD work together writing up/ POSTING ads for your idea. Let me help you with wording. I know how to do one thing, that's write in ENGLISH. You give me your sample ad, let me edit it for you. YOU FIND an orphanage or church or kindergarten or daycare that needs something, food, cans, shoes, coats, books or money.
CHARITABLE COMMERCE is another avenue. ROBERT REDFORD did a TELEVISION SERIES on PBS about charitable busienss ideas. Their website is looking for people to do a LIVING ROOM GROUP for the NEW HEROES ORG . And they give you free DVD's of their SERIES. This was a fabulous series of TV SHOWS on PBS that showed people who'd done incredible things for the planet, ordinary people. http://thenewheroes.org
and the stories of individual heroes at http://thenewheroes.org/stories.asp
OR raise money for the IRRIGATION invention needed by dry, African villages. http://thenewheroes.org/stories.aspREMEMBER, this project is going to be easy and fun. YOUR FRIENDS will join you in all facets of work on this project, the parties, the cooking, the ticket taking, the ads. You'll find that FORWARDING emails/files/ can be done with a single push of the finger. Tell your chums that; just say please and ask them to help you do ads. Five a day per person. What they do is visible on the craigs ad email, clear as day, is nothing it's a no brainer. Cut and paste text, Push the forward button.
Your pal will write your name and I suppose their automated mail transponder automatically puts their name in, not sure if your pal uses the automated feature that all mail clients offer us.
THE PAL forwards the ad to you. YOU PUNCH "PUBLISH", yourself. You KNOW HOW TO FORWARD!!!!!!!! ????? Of course you do. And they do. That part is simple!
THE AD's "in like FLYNN" as they say. Every morn while I watch news, GOOD MORNING
SHOW, I'm doing fifty ads and then nite, primetime tv, sticking up another fifty.. CRAIGS LIST has a robot that can detect that. SO I OPENED a hundred DIFFERENT EMAIL ADDIES> startz99@gmail and calstarlady@gmail.com anitamerlesands@gmail.com stargazeur11@gmail.com so many that craigs list does not realize I'm doing fifty cities a day. One must change the wording in the first paragraph so robot doesn't realize it's the same ad under other headings.( MULTIPLE AD CRAIG LIST TECH FILE. ) Sometimes, I put the ad in a PALS name, addie, and my FRIENDS publish the ads. Or I use few of my l00 mail box addies and just hit TOOLS at top of browser, then ERASE COOKIES doing that regularly. Robot can read cookies. Or I change the wording in BANNER HEADING slightly, or add a new INTRO to the ad itself. So Robot won't recognize it. I use Mozilla Firefox browser as it saves form info so you don't have to retype. And naturally cut paste carries the TEXT for ad inside the mouse, sort of. All that info is at my WEBTECH training.
THIS AD below was for Australia, and you know what? Did it in all American cities, then European, then finally did it in every city in Australia. Under many headings, GROUPS, creative gigs, financial INVESTMENTS that people seek out. Why I do that is cuz AUSSIES have natives starving in the interior. living out on the sand. They really need an INDIGENOUS PEOPLES BOOK TRUST.
So, YOU PUT the AD UP. CRAIGS sends it back to address and there's a Live link which is CLICKED ON...then activated, it turns from brown to green when it's greenlight, you are in! the ad is UP!
WHAT HAPPENS is that PEOPLE in FIVE AUSSIE CITIES get their brains "inseminated" with an idea they never had before. that the artisanry of some starving injuns out on the sand is worth big bucks. It's good to have new ideas, right?! You are a JOHNNY APPLESEED, sowing ideas instead of trees.
CHARITABLE STATUS FOUNDATION, Q&A
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~~^~^~^~^~^~^~~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Exactly what status do I need to have a real charity? USA GOV status? STATE? CITY?
THE STATUS WITH the STATE IS called CHARITABLE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION. That's what you want. City may require a license if you're out on the street raising cash.
Does this mean I am starting a tax exempt, nonprofit organization?
YES. Boy, are you quick!
And when I go to CEO's, I am asking them for a donation that will allow
them a tax write off, correct?
CORRECT. For them it is a gift they can deduct from their taxes as
you are 'street legal.'
Any specific amount? No, but ASK them for a thousand each, rounded off number. Tell them that's a year of daycare for a latch key kid.
FIND OUT what a DAYCARE would charge the mother of a latch key child for 5 days a week of childcare for a year. YOU must investigate that number and in every case, give a mother at least a year of breathing time to do a job. Tell the CEO's that they can buy a week at a time for a child. 52 weeks would be multiple by 52. If a month of daycare is 350$ then that's nearly 4k a donation! The last time I took a baby to daycare was 1969 so what do I know? I saw a single weeping child in the daycare, staring out the window, saying 'mommy' a thousand times. Man, I turned around, shot out the door with my babies & stayed home with those 4 kids for 20 yrs. Did a cottage industry, so don't ask me about going rates on daycare! Poverty I know. Starvation I know but not daycare! So you investigate the organization, the allocation of funds (per child, per daycare, etc.) My kids now have kids of their own sadly in cities far from me!
The deal is this: YOU first talk to owner of the DAYCARE that you are raising cash for, (or multiple daycares. Find out the going rate. Then, SHOW on your books that you gave X daycare a sum for THE KID named AND YOU GOTTA HAVE HIS NAME. JOSE GONZALES. CHILD OF MARIA, ADDRESS, PHONE, SS# if there is one, got 3000 worth of services in 2006. I wonder if Maria has to pay taxes on it. Hmmmm. Find out, let me know.
I know you probably have to pay taxes on your income from running the charity and you must salary yourself for your work. Maybe you don't. After all, it is a tax-exempt, non profit.
QUESTION: When writing myself the salary I am doing this in the proposal?
ANY TIME YOU FILL OUT FORMS they ask you WHO ARE YOUR EMPLOYEES. YOU
STATE I AM the ONLY ONE at this time, right NOW. I NEED this much to
live. Or this much per hour
that I dedicate to this work. (as I am not free for my other job, etc)
QUESTION: Am I seeking funds from the government as well?
NOT NOW, but you do see that YOU CAN LEARN TO WRITE GRANTS and get
huge
cash allocated you by city, state and federal gov!!!!! It helps to
have
newspapers and nightly news cover your daycare gambit. How you give
parties so that latch key kids
can have proper day care.
YOU HAVE our resource, women in every city --are available, gals who
would handle the same game of daycare funding in their city. OR if
you
want to do what I DID.....CRAIGS LIST will find you contenders. But,
as
we have 400 girls in every city, we could feel this list out to see
who's gung ho.
QUESTION: CAN I WRITE myself a big salary?
A: If you are the first recipient...ouchey that looks bad.
the concept is, women who are LEAVING CHILDREN UNDER LATCH KEY NOW.
Who make sub sub normal salaries, MAIDs need to be given 52 weeks at
a time as a gift.
The daycare actually hands that gift to them. So there is very little
work for you to do. A big
salary for you is out of place unless you can prove by appt. book that
you spend 45 min in transit
to X corp and 1 hr with the Executive. Then the going rate of 20$ the
hour is OK for your check..
Unless that executive took you out to dinner and gave you a pearl necklace.
In that case, you
should declare the pearls on your income tax. IF IT EVER got out that
you were the FIRST cash recipient.....it makes whole the project look bad
bad bad.
BUT not if you say, I SAW that daycare was impossibly costly yet very
very helpful to the child's IQ building or.not IQ, you can't build
IQ
but talent, whatever, I am no educator, I dno't know what it builds
besides
SMARTS!
Think this out carefully and talk to the daycare owner.
IF YOU ARE IN A POSH AREA of suburbia, this may not be your first and
best and most dramatic DAYCARE to work for. GO TO THE SLUMS.
where are you? Atlanta? Take a drive some aft. thru the slums.
FIND OUT what daycare is THERE. Have the CEO write the check directly
to the daycare for a while.
Distance yourself from the donations as much as you can until you are
a proven proven phenomenon.
THEN they checks can go to you, and you can cut yourself a small salary.
