I for one cannot afford to waste the pennies that I earn, as every cent will go to @papilloncharity one day when I bail out. Been bitten badly in the past on another site, was more than enough school fees for me.
My motto is; keep it straight and simple, work hard and persevere!
No bots, no greed, no temptations, no offences, only honesty, kindness and persistence.
That's why our charity is now in its 18th year of existence and it will continue to do great work with the poor!
Blessings!
Always keep it as honest and above board, sometimes we look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.
Always back to proverbs, one my mom mentioned regularly.
Working with Manna and DFC their intent is to help others, hope this becomes viable since many charities are in need of assistance around the world.
Agreed and it's a struggle that we have become used to Lady Joan. Yet I, as the sole fundraiser, refuse to send out pleading mails and I just put the facts of what we do out there! Never forgetting to thank those that step up to the plate to help us.
We cannot afford to erect a tele-sales department that costs almost a million rand a year in salaries to raise funds, as we stay small and lean, with great outputs. So be it!
Consider making contact with one or two who say they support charities and ask them to list your charity Stephen, one never knows where the next little bit of help will arrive from.
Local online shopping TakeALot is another place where people purchasing online are able to donate, register in places
I agree in not sending out pleading emails, notify people, it is their decision whether they are able to assist.
