A. I have heard that in general, churches use the money more wisely and generously for charitable causes. I don't have conclusive evidence of that, but I have heard it from fairly reliable sources. Doing some real research would answer that for sure. I also recently heard that that was (and is still) the case for Katrina victims. It makes sense too, because you seldom see a priest or preacher driving around in a Lexus. (Of course, there are the money-grubbing phonies who cast a bad light on the real good people, but I'm talking about the general rule, not the exceptions.) And I do see a LOT of church groups doing good things...i.e. volunteering. BTW, I've also heard that the people to be MOST cautious of are the phone solicitors. … [cont.]

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.

A. I work for the Dogs Trust so of course I'd say them! I support their views that no dog should be bred until the numbers destroyed are either reduced or halted completely. There are other smaller rescues that don't seem to see the problem with breeding, or they just keep quiet about it. Don't understand that, to make a change you need to look at the bigger picture.

Like partnering up for a while and do funds and stuff for the bigger company until the charity can make it on its own...thanks Sort of like, if you have facebook, you can make a 'cause' page thing and people can donate money that goes to either you or a bigger charity that the cause is supporting, could I make something like that but official?

A. Yes many nonprofits start that way. However it is generally better and more likely to start with a nonprofit that knows you and where you know the group personally as your financial agent vs a large organization that would find it hard to know if you are honest and what you are doing with the money. For ex many such groups start with their church or a nonprofit in their community as the financial agent. It is best to have a written agreement detailing responsibilities. In most such agreements the charity that is the financial agent does make a small charge for accounting etc. which is reasonable because there is work and supervision and a lot of responsibility involved for them. once the new group is established and knows what it is… [cont.]

A. Maybe you could ask your friend in Denmark what the name of the organization he is with is and see if you can find an American equivalent. SOS children's villages generally have a good reputation, you can find more information about it on these websites: The next link is for one of the most well-known organizations that will allow you to sponsor a child and also write / receive letters.

A. Basically, a charitable organization serves as a conduit of funds for various charities. A non-profit organization exists to provide a specific service that is supported by contributions. Your desire to contribute to struggling charities would be better facilitated by registering as a charitable organization.

A. Dress for Success is very good, like you said. Other than that, you can ask suit designers or manufacturers if they would like to donate some of their suits, or even used suits that are still in good condition. They would get the advertisement in return, and it won't cost you anything. You should ask around department stores, or even go to a local thrift store or Salvation Army. You'd be surprised!
