i do similare type work as "a hobby", but i dont like to ask for money? howerver, i do make sure everone i know and do work for , all my customers [ on my real job ]know what i'm doing. they often volenteer money and occationaly i can put them together w/ a family or child to "adopt".. shout it out from the roof tops let others know the satisfaction i'm sure you recieve in your work. others will want to "jump on your bandwagon"  people like helping others especilly when they come to realise[sp]they will get great pleasure in return ... personaly i've never gotten more for my money. remember how tom sawyer got his friends to help him paint aunty's fence....although that may have been a little underhanded and disingenious... your cause is good , you wont have to be.

Why not start by writing ur local Congress representative? Also, many charities have crises & family grants & loans. Try getting info. abt ur local ones from ur local social worker/ advice centre.

Perhaps you should stand in a window front nekkid with a sign saying accepting donations.  <wink>\n\nHave you asked everyone at work?  If not working have you asked all your friends and family?  Have you posted a website with what is going on and how they can help?  Maybe on your 360 page?  You could walk around your neighborhood and pass out flyer's with your contact information and the facts about the event.  I will go back and look at your link and think about it some and let you know.  Good luck

Try these websites for information on a variety of organizations you may be interested in assisting and to find out more about what you can do to help. You can even find opportunities for assisting "virtually" from the comfort of your home!\n\nI'm sure there are many other websites that can help get you started, but I hope these will help. Good luck!\n\nhttp://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cf...\n\nhttp://www.getinvolved.gov/\n\nhttp://www.extramile.us/\n\nhttp://www.1-800-volunteer.org/1800vol/o...\n\nhttp://www.donorschoose.org/donors.php?l...

They can strongly encourage it, but you can't be forced to do anything.\n\nIt looks good for a company (and an employee too) if there's high participation in community donations and volunteering.\n\nIf you can afford a small donation, just do it as it goes toward a good cause.  Volunteering is the same.

accept items of interest for resale. sort of a thrift store operation. there is nothing like getting something for your donation. you might can get a location donated.

Usually the HUD people will help relocate them. Check into it before you start fundraising. Also if you don't form a non-profit status, you will have to pay income tax on any money you raise, even if you do give it away. Hope those people are ok though.

One of the best ways I've found to raise money is to give a "Free" car wash. You don't charge anyone to wash their car but you do accept donations. These work wonderfully at Wal-Mart. Usually, Wal-Mart will donate the water and the hoses. You will have to supply the workers. Place people at the doors advertising the car wash making sure to state that it is Free but that you do accept donations.\n\nMy church raised several thousand like that for our youth group to go out of state to a youth rally.

you could start with flyers for volunteers in public access areas, eg grocery stores, public offices etc you could use the same technique for donations. website could be another source of gathering volunteers and donations, a volunteer could make the website too, good luck

Do you have the ability to get donations from companies.\n\nIf so, see about getting donations from grocery stores, gas cards, bus line/taxi donations, haircuts, clothing from a resale shop, diaper discounts, MacDonalds gift certificates, etc.

have you tried your local charities or churches?  \n\nAlso, if you're desperate for money, it's less likely you will get donations.  Companies and individuals who contribute large amounts of money like to see business plans and see that you're diligently working towards a solid business goal.\n\nI'm sure God will help you but you might want to consider that He likes to see you working towards a goal, too.

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!

Try washing cars, ask your mom or you can bake cookies, cakes, muffins, make candy, etc. and sell. Even have a garage sell, it not only earns you extra cash, but it helps to clean some clutter that may have needed cleaning up. You can even get your coach to draw up some type of legitimate form for you and your team to go to corporate businesses just to aks for donations.\n\nGood luck with earning funds...
