Why do people , continue to give to charities when their chair people get tremendous saleries?

11 Aug

Sixty minutes did a special on United Way
some time ago, showing their president was
making $380,000 a year, worked one hour
per day and spent the rest of his time on
the golf course. Website Charity nevagator
lists the huge saleries the chair people get.
But yet, we still have car washes and do other
things to give them money without question.
Sometimes I wonder if they really want to find a cure, after asking for money for 40 years.

Donated Cars, Donated Equipment, Charities, And Foundations In Austin, Texas?

25 May

I have for quite some time trying to reach out for help, and pleading that someone might have a kind heart and generosity in their soul. I am a 64 year old disabled woman, who happens to have Fibromyalsia. Because I have to rely on Social Security Disability, extra funds are out of the question.I am also the single mom of a wonderful son, who happens to have Cerebral Palsy, and is severely mentally retarded. We have been a team for many years now, and will continue to do so.We are in desperate need of a donated car, DEPENDABLE and RELIABLE is a must. I have to walk everywhere with a cane, and there are many times it is difficult. I am also a cancer survivor, 7 years now, ever so grateful to be here. I’ve tried all organizations that say they donate cars, including freecharitycars.org, but have had no success. I even tried writing a letter to Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, no success there either.They help others on a very large and grand scale, and quite generous. They are good people. Michael Dell is also the founder of Dell Computers,….a gifted and intelligent man.Since I am just one singular person, I have fallen through the cracks, so I have been very unsuccessful in getting help from their foundation. I have tried everything, and every charitable organization and just keep running into walls.
Here’s what I am trying to do,…I am a photographer, and quite good at it. I have a Nikon D5000, and a beauty it is. Of course there are accessories I could use, would improve my work tremendously, but they are not free. I make a couple of bucks here and there, for me and my son. Portrait and candid shots, videos for family celebrations, and the such. I could offer so much more, but I need help. I am desperate for a workhorse of a computer, big hard drive and tons of memory; for film and video editing, this is a must. I have access to fantastic software, but I need a computer that works well and steadily. I could go so much further with my work if I had reliable transportation. Can’t very well propose a job, and be able to deliver and get there.
Here in Austin, there is a wonderful organization called ClearChoice.com, it’s a dental care organization, the talented dentists who run this place is Dr.Roberto Velasco, DDS and Dr. Todd Eggleston, DMD. After my cancer, I had very few teeth left, my gums were inflamed, so I became toothless. At that time I did get dentures,pretty ones at that. In the time that has passed, the gums has shrunk severely and I cannot wear the dentures, no matter what I do.Clear choice offers services that could keep the dentures in place and position, and not move anywhere and everywhere they may very well please. Going for meetings or proposals is out of the question,….tough to come across as presentable when you are toothless,….also difficult to understand in a conversation. I want to do my work, and look after my wonderful son, but I need help.
Hasn’t anyone out there been in a similar position, and someone offered a helping hand?

Is the cash for clunkers program hurting many charities?

12 Apr

I know I’ve seen ads from charities that take peoples old cars and either fix them up or scrap them and use the scrap money. Has this program hurt charities whose revenues are already down in a tough economy?

When is charity giving to much. How do you stop charities that do give to much?

19 Mar

In the state of Michigan if you get pregnant and dont have any money the list goes on and on with the charities you will recieve. Health insurance that covers everything without a dime to pay for a copayment. Food stamps to pay for all the food. Wic to pay for all the formula and juice. Section 8 will pay your rent. Hud will buy you a brand new home. The state will pay for a new car. They will also pay $1200 to fix a car. They will pay for your gas. They will buy you clothes. They will give you carseats. The list goes on and on and on. How will they get people and teens especially to stop having kids if you live better once you have them. I work my butt off 40 + hours a week and my husband goes to college full time so we can have a good life. The girl I work with had 2 kids before 18 and is only 19 now lives 10 times better then I do. IN the city I live in we have more teen pregnany then any other city in MI and people wonder why! What can be done to stop this?

Are there any charities that buy cars for people?

12 Mar

I do not have a car. I have a chance to buy a used car for $800, which would get me through until tax time next year. I’ve applied to the state vehicle purchase program, but have heard nothing. Are there any private charities that could help me? Let me know.

Does anyone know the impact the “cash for clunkers” has on charities?

05 Mar

There are many commercials and ads asking to donate cars for charity and people usually get a tax deduction. A portion of the cars traded for “cash for clunkers” would be donated to charity. I wonder if anyone knows how many cars are usually donated yearly and whether there is a significant decline due to this “too generous” program. Thank you.

The Salt Lake Tribune
I found one article from Utah about charities hurting, but do not know if this applies to the whole nation.

I am not trying to smear the program, but there are many unintended consequences – it is like the dominoes, you push one and they all are connected and fall, and apparently our lawmakers approved it very fast without estimating full impact it will have on our lives.
