    Fundraiser idea

    So around here it is hard to get people to part with their personal computers even for money - but I had an idea that I would like to float.

    Some of the people on the forum ( Julie, for one ) have collected e-scrap to make money for non-profit activities. What if we offered non-profits a chance to make money?



    What I have in mind is telling them that we will buy e-scrap from them as a fundraiser. We will pay a specific amount for certain items - as much as they can collect from their members or the public by a certain date.

    People who donate to the non-profits could get a tax write-off, the organization would get money and we would get scrap. Everybody wins.

    Don't recall seeing this discussed before, forgive me if it has been.

    Comments?
