How would I go about starting a local organization?

Question

I'd like to start an organization that will help me raise money for one of my family members; but I don't know where I should go or what people I would have to talk to so that I can learn about any legal business I have to take care of.

Answer 1

You need to be a registered legal charity to do this on a large scale and that people can claim for tax deductions. However, lots of people hold fundraisers for various causes. Talk to your local bank about establishing an account for the proceeds
