Re: Charity Money

I am with Willow on this one .. raising money is a professional job and to get a professional have to employ professionals.

The people that do it voluntarily have not to put much thought/effort/marketing into it (and wouldn't wish to) .. except stand on the street shaking a container.

'Tis the only way in my opinion.

Have had many friends being paid for this work, including one that worked from home persuading people to become collectors in their area for Dr. Barnodos. Sure she was paid commission, but did reap benefits for the charity at the end of the day. Others in more high-flying full time jobs .. again they were professional sales people, and knew the art of persuasion/presenting and laying out the advantages of donating to particular charities. That talent costs money.
