Raising Money for Charity [+23 Rep]

[Adam]

I know you can't donate to everyone? lmao

Fantastic reason, I'll donate straight away!

Yeah he was totally giving a reason and not avoiding your stupid comments which suggests that one charity is better than another.

Sounds like a great cause. I'll try to do this next time I shop online.

Thanks very much, Shar Really easy to do - it basically works on a sort of referal link thing (so you click to go on Amazon through easyfundraising, and then go about your normal purchase).

There are a million charities out there begging for my money. People don't exactly have a lot of disposable income so charitable acts are kept to a minimum thus, you cannot donate to everyone.

Which is why I need a reason, better than other charities' reasons, to donate.

If you use easyfundraising to raise money for a charity already, then good on you. Personally, last year I raised over £150 for Teenage Cancer Trust, and obviously a lot for the Russ Foundation.

However, I am asking people to help raise money for this cause for one reason. I have experienced this charity first hand - sure you could help other charities - but I doubt many of those will give you personal one to one experiences of the charity.

If you even bothered to read the thread you would see this isn't COSTING YOU A PENNY! That is what is so brilliant about the website - you go about your normal shopping, and raise money for a life saving cause in the process. I totally understand you want to know the charity is worthwhile - but you couldn't even be bothered to work out that I am not asking for you to personally give me money.

Looks like I'll be shopping online now ~

Aha thanks very much

One last thing, the money gets transferred by BAC's to the charity - meaning I literally never touch the money

It's not about how much it costs me, though. It's effort. I know it's mininmal but if the charity is worth donating and spending time towards then obviously I'll go out of my way to help.

I'd like a background and mission statement, not just "I donate to this charity, you should too!". I'd rather donate to cancer research UK, having experienced the work that this particular charity does first hand.

If you say that peoples pockets are tight, of course you were talking about how much it costs you!

The Russ Foundation is primarily a girls home in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. The girls there are hugely deserving, and there are now some boys too. The majority of the children have lost their parents (and sometimes even the rest of their family), however Russ has given them the chance to get an education and have a much better life, that we all too often take for granted.

Mission Statement:

To work with people to improve the living conditions and quality of life of individuals, families, and the community at large by providing access to varied services to needy people; irrespective of genders, castes and faiths.

RUSS FOUNDATION is a charity, registered as a non-profit organization under the Tamilnadu Societies Registration Act in India. Since its inception in the year 1992, it has developed into a dynamic organization with a history of bringing vital changes in the community it serves. Russ Foundation concentrates its developmental efforts at the grass-root level in sectors like Health, HIV/AIDS, Education, Socio-economic development, Life-skill Vocational Training and Ecology.
Russ Foundation is focused to create sustainable and culturally relevant solutions by enabling communities to break the longstanding obstacles for their development. The primary object of Russ Foundation is to improve the quality of life of the children, women and the community at large.

To be honest, if you were actually interested, I imagine you would have gone to the website for the charity using the provided link, which has exactly what you wanted

I shouldn't have to, you're trying to garner my interest, remember. My money goes to a charity already and you're trying to get me to donate to yours so I need to see as much material as possible to garner my interest. And by my, I mean your target audience. I am just one man.

My money can be split between charities and have recently been thinking about doing it so it's nice to get a perspective of what's out there that is genuine.

I couldn't access your page because I had to create an account, something I'm not willing to do if I have no reason to use that account.

I don't understand why you're making such an issue out of this, being an idiot for the sake of being an idiot. The time you're spending writing out these petty arguments you could've done abit of research yourself if you were really that arsed, or you could just sign up and do abit of shopping.
@Marketing; I would do this, but i'm going India at the end of the month and our project has our own easyfundraising page, but good luck and I hope you reach your target!

Hello Pazza,

Thank you for the response! No problem, may I ask what part of India you are going to, and what your project is? Obviously something we have a common interest it.

Thanks

apparently my e-mail is already registered when i haven't even been on this before?

The next time I go to purchase something, I will make sure to take part. The work of the Foundation sounds so benefitting to the orphans, and even a few pence must be worth something
