I have no idea if I am at the right place. I am a grandmother helping to raise my grandchildren after their mother's suicide. Their Mother ended her life six yrs. ago by jumping from the Coronado bridge near San Diego. She had severe issues with alcohol and was in six rehabs before choosing this route. My son has been simply devastated since this happened. He says about her, "That's the only woman I will love". The kids need money for clothes and shoes for middle- and first-year high school. I would like them to have money to pay the fees for soccer as well. They both are all star players. Dad is trying to keep a job after a bad car wreck and now a possible stroke. We have just been evicted from our home because we couldn't pay the rent due to job loss and a stroke . I have relocated to SoCal to help raise these kids and would try to work, but I was a Realtor before from Kansas City area and I simply don't know if I can pass the test and I am so lost but could use an iPhone. Money is now starting to be a huge problem. Does this sound like something kind people would donate to help these kids using GoFundMe?

Thanks, Wayne, but board members should assist with fundraising. It is general practice that the board should open doors, solicit donations, and even join the ED on solicitation calls. From what I read, the SOX is just about storing information, isn't it?

@@CauseSpecialist Hey Joanne, You are wrong!!! The IRS sets a public support test for nonprofits that want to stay public charities here in the United States in a 509(a)(2) nonprofit any board donations will count against the organization maintaining its Public charity status and in 509(a)(1) organizations the board can not give more than 2% of the total income of the organization.

Life is very difficult, especially in Gaza. The war humiliated us and took away everything that was beautiful in our lives. I am a girl under 20 years old. The biggest dream in her life was to be able to study abroad at the best universities, but the difficult circumstances were stronger than mine. Then came the war that destroyed my life and the life of my family even more. More than that, it's me, my sisters, 5 daughters, and my mom and dad who are working adults. It is very difficult for him to meet our needs as girls, but what do we do? Circumstances are greater than us. The goal of my campaign is to ease the burden on my mother and father, who dedicated their lives to me and my sisters. We live a happy life with love, security, and hope. I appeal to everyone who has a shred of conscience and humanity... Please help me and my family to ensure I have a better life. Thank you ❤ gofund.me/15ec6daa Donate now, even if it's just one euro please we need help we're in the worst condition i don't want a lot of donation just a little here in gaza very bad we have to get out of here please

They can move numbers around. I only donate to a charity if it has audited financials, and I double-check by Googling its 990 through the IRS. I get to meet a lot of nonprofits doing this job and I have run into a few that give the sector a bad name, but there mostly goo done. Sorry, I can't help more.

Hey Joanne Great video as usual we just used LinkedIn to complete a bond offering for 2 non-profits. Also, do you think executives should sell the rights to their LinkedIn page and all their Social media that promotes the company? LinkedIn has a lot of donor information that can be used by the nonprofit so I have instructed young attorneys to start to include that in employment contracts. The data from LinkedIn is what we refer to as infrastructure data that can help build nonprofits

@@CauseSpecialist I think you misread or misunderstood my reply. Executives of nonprofits have their own personal account pages on LinkedIn. The nonprofits they work for need the ability to retain that information after they leave the organization. That executive has built up donor and investor information that can be used by their nonprofit to attract continued support, so you would want the executive to sell or give back that information to the nonprofit 🤣
