I want to donate to a charity how should I go about it?

Question

I am starting a website and I want some of the proceeds to go to charity, I know this is legal but do I need to get some sort of proper paperwork filled out first?

Answer 1

Go to www.goldstar.org and you can check on any non-profit that is registered with them - you always want to make sure they are on the up and up.

Once you find the agency you wish to donate to, contact them and they will help you with the rest!

Good luck - wonderful idea!!

Answer 2

Hey, well, I am going Nicaragua on a missions trip, and my company (www.makemypictureperfect.com) is trying to raise money to support the orphanage of El Canyon. If you would like to donate, just go to our website and click the " In The Community" tab. We would really appreciate your help!

Answer 3

You should contact the charity you have in mind and discuss your plan.  They can help you set it up in the best way.

Answer 4

Check out the Charity Navigator web site. You may find the 'Tips' page especially helpful.Take your time looking through the site; there's a great amount of interesting and helpful information.

So far as 'paperwork', requirements may vary state to state; I don't know. Perhaps it would be best to consult with the Small Business Administration in your area, and/or a CPA.

Answer 5

I don't think you need to fill out any paper work to donate.That would be necessary to accept donations.

Here's a good tax deductible charity:)

Answer 6

Try contacting the charity you want to donate to; they may already have a web donation protocol set up and all you would have to do is put the link on your page.  Many of the larger and even some smaller agencies do this.  The charity can tell you if you need to fill out paper work, and it will be specific to their agency.  Believe me, they will give you ALL the information you need to get the money to them!
