How do I prepare a fund raiser benefit fund portfolio to raise donations for rewards?

Question

The benefit fund’s purpose is accepting donations that will be used to retrieve information leading to the arrest and conviction of the hit and run driver that struck and drove over the body of a five (5) year old boy (Kenneth Dayrl Junior, Junior) on October 16, 2006. That little boy, (Kenny) died on October 18, 2006. His little body was destroyed without any hope for life.

Answer 1

It's not really a fundraiser, since there isn't a non-profit organization involved. You're raising money to offer a reward, in the hopes that someone turns in that terrible person. Ask the police if there's a fund for this first. Then, get together a group of at least seven people to help you. Ask a restaurant to donate the profits from that night, especially if you get people in a back room together to eat, drink and talk. Invite everyone you know and tell them what it's about. Ask them to give money for the reward in addition to what they spend on dinner. Tell them what will be done if the reward is not claimed (given to a charity? used for funeral expenses? returned to them?). Who will hold the money in the meantime so it's safe? Post signs about the reward money and get the newspapers and radio to announce it, too. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope they catch the person.
