How to start?

[lego69]

I was thinking about starting a charity online site. I've tried to do some research on this but nothing. Would anyone have any information.

What would this site do?

From the message I left you earlier I wanted the charity site to be an affiliate site, have the proceeds go to cancer research, aids, drug abuse, etc. The money would go to those foundations

Don't see why not. In fact easiest way to do it would be do it under your name (or that of a company) and then donate 100% of your commission to charity. No idea where you're based but in the UK this would be fully tax deductable (I think, maybe not NI, in which case company would be the way to go).

Probably less faff than setting up a charity which I imagine has a buttload of controls, checks and hoops to jump through.

Exactly I wanted to do it in a business but not that many people here in the states know or understand the concept of starting up one, I had gotten In contact with some non-profit organizations to ask for assistance but no such luck. I'm trying to find out what person or company would help with a online gambling charity start up

I can not help myself to post this:
What about some help for gamblers. They might finance their own weakness/stupidity. If 100% rev share deals would be reached, it will be exactly like anti-gambling treatment through slots with 100% payouts (which are being used to cure gamblers).

Never said that people who gambling is not a sickness either, but my goal is to help out those who cannot help themselves. Gambling is a sickness that can be cured (Mentally, and spiritual and a sponsor) and by all means I would even put my effort to support a cause such as that myself. But from my understanding of how you are feeling about what I said is to say so what they have aids, cancer, drug addiction, just let them die?

A sponsor can treat gambling addiction? I am missing something maybe.

People who have gambling addiction are more or less responsible. The same applies to cancer&aids or drug addiction. It is their choice to smoke, **** without condom or escape to chemical solutions. Then they have to pay the bill. That is it. Life is hard for everyone, some people fight and get so-so; some people escape into sins too much and then they blame the world.

If you ask me personally how is my feeling about all those bad things, I will tell you that I am just trying to be strong enough just to live through.

In the first world it is still possible to live confortably a life full of hypocricy, when you help here or there to some anonymous project and pretend you feel better (because it is what the charity is about: to feel better and not guilty).

There is hardly that option in the 3rd world, where the misery is flowing on everyone from all sides. No money can help and no money is barrier high enough between you and the world. So the only option is to accept the world as it is, even when it is total ****. I still feel bad, but I can live with that. I can not live with a feeling that I pretend hopeless helping only for my better feeling.

Totally understand what you are saying and where you coming from. But for me helping others any way I can makes me feel good and spirit. You point is valid TY

I can't really comment on how it's handled in the US as it's a whole differnet kettle of fish. Your best bet is to probably speak to a tax accountant or lawyer about it.

Ok now I have to do a Google search for that, thanks for the assistance
