if you started a nonprofit organization what would it be called, and what would its cause be for???

Question

Mine would be the Madelyn Mae Foundation and it would be to assist families of children w/ spina bifida,, to afford living alterations and to afford wheelchair lifts and ramps and any other financial needs,,, my inspiration for this is my daughter and her current life altering condition. tell me your story

Answer 1

Mine would be so broad it would be hard to find a name that would fit. So I guess it would be the Lunareon Foundation. I am a writer and that is the name of my book.

Why well many reasons, mostly seeing the wrongs done to the poor and those who just need help to survive even on a medium income. Especially when those on a 40 thousand a year income need help with higher rise of basics like food and utilities. If I became a millionaire this is goal my whole family wishes to do. Even if I could get a none returnable grant this is my direction’s

Even thought I know that many help centers and thrift store organizations help with utilities and food. I would go that direction as well but I feel that many other things can be added that I don’t see.

I would have it as a place similar to a very low cost thrift store (but free to those who lost things in fires, floods, tornado’s EST.) Also assistance programs ranging from work training, budget teaching, smart shopper training (a separate part of budgeting that would also help for the holidays) handy skill training from learning to sew by machine or hand, even how to fish or grow their own garden to crafts for fun kids activities or sale. Which goes into recycling home materials (which also can connect with crafts or troop activities) to help stretch a dollar (learning from frugal living and military brat girl scouts) also have a info center or room for meetings to share directions to better different communities. Including class usage for skills or girl scout/ Boy Scout troupe use. Having a child with a medical condition called ACC (agenesis of the corpus callosum) I would also use the room or even have another room where people can teach about medical need's awareness as well as to share treatments done or directions other's with the condition may not have known before. I would collect a list of every help organizations and share every bit with those in need and update it often. Including when the thrift stores so specials for events like holiday sale and if they have set prices for certain things such as thrift store that has everything .25 each (I know 2 that do that) also if I had the truck's I would use them to spread the stuff thru thrift store and free help centers instead of seeing good's being destroyed in trash crushers. I know my causes sound large. And so big I would need a mall size building to run it, but it’s my life. I want to really do all this. I do some in church and some over the Internet and I spread info about where to save and when to go for the best deals and whom the different places help. I teach how to save on food and making items for the holidays. Crafts are my hobby and I love to share with others. I hate seeing good's destroyed in thrift stores when they can help in other ways, Such as dishes for the victims of disaster or to start over for mom’s of abuse. Instead of using the money given to them for that they can use the money for furniture they cant get from thrift stores or they can use more of the money given to them for turning on the utilities in their new residence.

After my youngest was born and she has a very uncommon condition I tell as many people as I can. I have helped new mom's who have children like mine and are lost. When my daughter was born there was only 6 children in my state with this condition. Now there are 10. I praise you for what are in your heart for your daughter, when I was pregnant with my oldest they thought she would have the same problem. When my youngest was inside me they thought she would need a shunt because at first she had hydrocephalus, but it was a pinch so it drained after birth and showed the missing brain stem in her head which is the ACC. this condition causes seizers, confusion and learning problems. So you see its my passion to help people. Have a great day. god bless.

i would love to add more, but i dont want to take up to much room. you just hit a question that is my life;s direction thank you.

Answer 2

No tsure about a name. The purpose would be to help ex-convicted felons to find an employment after their release from prison.

Answer 3

It would be called the K.D.N.V group (standing for Kids Don't Need Violence) and they Monet raised would be handed to kids that could PROVE they needed it to survive instead of committimg crime. This way I could killv 2 birds wit h one stone.

Answer 4

If I ever won the lotto, I'd be a fairy godmother to average shmoes. They could not apply for funds from the foundation, they cannot be referred. I will go forth and randomly find them, going about their everyday lives. Never thought of a name for it -- maybe like my moniker, it would be amuse4u.
