My name was drawn! What should I say about my charity?
Please be prepared to discuss your charity, informally, for about five minutes. Below is a helpful list of things that you may want to include in your discussion.
What is the name of the organization?
Where is the organization located?
What is the mission of the organization?
What purpose does the organization serve? (who, what do they do, how do they do it)
How would the organization benefit from receiving the donation?
How will the funds be used?
Who is responsible for discharging funds?
What are their administrative fees? (Hint: they should not have any!)
From where does their current funding come?
Are they a recognized 501(c)(3)?
What is their annual budget?
If chosen, to whom would the group make a check payable to?
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you. ~Mother Teresa
