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
