How does the person hosting a charity event make money?
Q. I'm confused on how the person that is hosting a charity event would make their money. For example: Let's say someone's hosting a casino charity event, and all the money that the people loose goes to the cause. So how does the person that host's the event make any money? Or doesn't he? Does he just do it to get brownie points for his karma? But then how do big charity organizations make their money, who pays them? And wouldn't the people loose many because they have to spend the money to rent all the game tables?

A. The person operating the event is a volunteer and 100% of money raised goes to the charity or they are a professional fundraiser that contracted with the charity for a percentage of the proceeds. Some take as much as 60%

How does charity donations etc affect the tax paid by businesses?
Q. I am looking to gain sponsorship/donations for my charity marathon. When i ask businesses for donations etc, what is there incentive? Do they recieve tax breaks? How much and how much money would they need to donate?
Asked by daviebhoy69 - Tue Feb 5 06:38:46 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. As I have previously advised you, businesses can only claim a deduction for expenditure incurred in the course of business and so sponsorship would normally be included in the advertising budget. It doesn't matter how much this comes to. An individual in business would receive higher rate tax relief (assuming they are a higher rate taxpayer) if they Gift Aided the money - but they could do that without sponsoring you.

I want to start a local charity to help disadvantaged children achieve their goals. Where do i start?
Q. I'm interested in starting a charity to help talented children from poorer backgrounds to achieve their potential and improve their results at school. I want to do this by initially providing a tutoring service to these children, with college/university students acting as tutors and mentors. I understand that the process of setting up a charity is a complex process-does anyone have any advice on where to start? Thanks

A. If you want to start a non-profit organization as identified by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, your organization s activities will have to be charitable and will have to fall under certain categories. The most common categories are community benefit, religious, scientific, and educational. Define your mission. What is your organization going to do? What service will it provide your community? Once you ve figured out your mission, write it out in a formal mission statement. It may seem silly to write a mission statement, but it s absolutely necessary, and it s very important a good mission statement succinctly communicates to others volunteers, community members, and potential funders-- what you do or what you hope to do.… [cont.]
