Every charity has to start somewhere.
Many people seem to think that starting a tax-exempt charity is easy, but it's not. There are a lot of federal regulations and rules for every aspect of the charity. It is complicated, time-consuming, and expensive. Any charity which solicits funds from people outside the immediate group has a lot of bookkeeping and accountancy and accountability to document and prove.
If you don't care about the tax-exemption part, are very small, and want to provide "small time" charity, anyone can do that. It's actually quite easy.
With everyone (except, apparently,me) moaning about how bad the economy is, consider starting your very own small charity.
( I'll tell you how we do it. )
