TerraJC asked:


I’m on the National Do Not Call Registry, but it doesn’t include charities and Non-Profit Organizations. I want to give to my church or whoever I feel like, but I do not want people calling me asking me to donate, is there another do not call registry that applies to charities or organizations asking for donations?

What are Charities doing with all the donations they receive?

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Friend asked:


There are 80,000 registered charities in Canada who report $11 billion in donations annually. Donations given is not all ending up in the hands of those who really need it? Don’t you think it would be better if people started giving money directly to those who are poor? People could try to find out who the poor families are and transfer money directly into the poor families bank accounts. Approximately $11 billion donations annually in Canada alone.

Rich get richer = Poor get poorer
Charities = Billion Dollar Industry

Charities should be researched thoroughly because there are numerous unethical charities.

ms. ovechkin asked:


We are looking for charities that will accept donations of an entire household’s worth of goods, one that will come in and move everything out themselves. If they have a website, please include it. Thanks!
Salvation Army requests that you pack everything up yourself and we are looking for a charity that is able to come in and help with the packing.

I love supporting charities that I feel donate to a good cause. I also enjoy wearing the bracelets as a symbol that I support them. Does anyone know of any charities that sell these bracelets?

Where can I find charities in need of publicity and donations?

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

M M asked:


I work for a new company that is seeking small charities in the New York area to collaborate with. They can’t offer monetary donations now but can offer free publicity which can generate donations and great exposure for their cause. The charity must be in New York City.
Any websites or numbers would be appreciated.
