The film was entertaining.Seems as if you have too many irons in the fire.Seems a lot to juggle.If you check all the post that areat the right of our "conversation" under the heading 'Talking about',You may find some help . You can also try www.grantgate.com for foundation help and www.thefederalmoneyretriever.com for government help. Both programs are free to dowload and use as much as possible.They will help guide you in writing and getting a grant.Make sure you read all the material, I would suggest printing the instrutions out,before or after you download the programs.You didn't say but I assume you are a non profit. If not you need to be or get help from on. Good Luck and God bless

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Japhet Zwana. I am a college retired professor. I have started a non profit organization whose mission is to set up an academic scholarship fund to assist Zimbabwe college students from poor families to obtain money to go to college and be able to pay tuition/fees. The shattered economy has affected the poor so much parents cannot afford to send children to college. Those unable to go or drop out, cannot find jobs due to the highest unemployment rate in the world. I need help with donations and donor database. Could you please, assist! Thank you.

 in response to AnAmerican...   The local NGOs in developing countries face difficulties standards to secure funding, the donors, sponsors for their projects for the main reasons I consider the following:
- The donors rely on NGOs from their wealthy countries when they come to settle for a short time only, the day of closing or departure leaves the whole problem to local organizations whose resources are very insugnifiant.
- Some local NGOs had been funded and mismanaged funds, which today has caused the loss of confidence;
- Donors, sponsords, pose a number of criteria for allocating funding to local NGOs that are sometimes very strice, sévèrent not easy at all.
I would suggest that different donors, sponsord, to review their strategy and also help local NGOs to overcome their difficulties. thank you

 in response to pedroguillermo...   Hola, Mi primer pensamiento sería para llegar al pueblo de Nicaragua. Al igual que todos los países que son los que tienen mucho que les gusta dar e incluso de algunos que les gusta ser conocido como dadores grandes. En segundo lugar, están las iglesias. ¿No es su creencia para ayudar a los niños del mundo? Si eso no funciona, y será un trabajo duro y que tomará tiempo, siempre hay las Naciones Unidas a través de la Unesco. La ONU puede tomar más tiempo que los dos primeros. Buscar un patrón, les muestra su necesidad y presentar el plan, y, por último, mostrarles ejemplos de los resultados positivos que se han logrado en lo que lo que debe hacer se ha implimented. Buena suerte y que Dios bendiga a los niños de este mundo.

 in response to theothersideofthe family...   I love your work. The "principle" has been in place for a very long time; we have just lost our way and forgotten what it was that made our nation so great. You and yours know it. As a child my grand dad would let me help in his garden sowing the seeds. That was long before the so-called "welfare-state." He would say as we planted: " This row for the table, this row for the winter, this row for next years seed, and this row for people we do not know." In the 70s it was refered to as "random acts of kindness." Sadly today you are a rare type. The real beauty is that you will never fully know the good that you sow and the wonders of your bounty. Bless Your Hearts. Pepole really do learn the most by example.

 in response to meekeesmom...   A simple pair of "used shoes?" Have you reached out to the Salvation Army and The Goodwill? They suck-up a lot of cash and used items. One would think that they could spare one pair of shoes. Last month I was talking with a young lad who had donated his time to help at a Goodwill store. He told me that they were tossing brand new clothes like jeans into the dumpster as they had so much stuff and not enough space. Yes, I did say brand new as in $30.00 jeans or more. "Shoeless In America?" Ask and you may receive.

 in response to Pendeza...   This I do suggest with compassion and mercy: Mail your information; your goals, mission statement, population, project, et al to Focus Adolescent Services, P.O. Box 4514, Salisbury, Maryland, USA. Send them pictures too. They ARE NOT a foundation or a registered charity and refuse to be ( for about 20 years) for many reasons. I understand the main reason is to be found in Mat:6 . They work to help children primarily in America; however I understand they are now reaching over 100 countries. They depend on gits from people who do not care if their gift is a "Tax Write-Off" or not. Sadly there are too many people who will only give to a registered non-profit, a 501(c)3. The reason for that is that it is also a major tax write-off when their gift goes to a federally registered non-profit. The good news is that there are people with pure hearts who will give a dollar or two to groups who do great good and do not care if their gift is "tax-deductable." I call these people good people.

 in response to jaqkey...   Bleak, very bleak. There are shelters for women with children who are victims of domestic violence. For that call the local Hotline or Helpline,( their number is almost always in the first few pages of a telephone book). Have you tried either Catholic or Jewish Charities?

Is there any other information on the Cralle foundation ?

I am a biographer of John Caples's brother Robert Cole Caples, eager to contact any members of the Caples family.

 in response to Pendeza...   Mr. Lumumba,
I need more information please. Are you this same group: http://www.hopeforthenations.com ? If so, by using their ISE, neither your name or the name of the poster, Mr.Prasad shows-up. Please help me here with more information. One would have to be almost dead not to know of the problems in the Congo. I understand that the United States sent 7.6 Billion to the Congo last year. Were you able to receive any of that money. Please advise as to the links to your web site and work. Thank you.

To The Amaturo Family:
Grazie per aver portato "l'offerta degli Angeli" dalla Galleria degli Uffizi di Firenze, al Museum of Art di Fort Lauderdale. Questo è molto gentile da parte soprattutto per questo, il nostro tempo Santissima dell'anno.
Too many Americans have not had the chance, or perhaps not taken the time to visit the beauties of the world that are only to be found in Italy. It is a wonderful thing that this exhibit will move from Florida to Penn. for even more to see. I am now in my 90s and am planning another trip across the Atlantic by boat. It is difficult to find one like I once took when younger; the smaller ships of the Italian Line like the "Raffaello" and the "Michelangelo."
Outreach is an important part of living. What the Amaturo Family has done will reach farther than they may ever know. The act of giving is made clear to all of us in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Every Pope and most Ministers have spoken to this subject. Mat:6 makes it very clear.
I have grown seriously concerned about the ways in which money given is used and in too many cases not used. Katrina and Haiti are both very sad examples of this. Do you know where the money has gone that you sent when you "Texted Katrina" or "Texted Haiti?" Those of you more able and willing to send larger sums than the 10 dollars, do you know where that money is and if it has even been used for the intended purpose? I had some of my people research this and I nearly wept.
Since the devastation of Katrina we have researched who is doing what and with so little. There are six that we truly appreciate.
Mr. Amaturo, you too may appreciate this. I think that all of the NIAF will like this too. One that we have followed and works to save the lives of American children is Focus Adolescent Services, www.Focusas.com/ We have kept in touch with them in our limited way. Sadly, they have almost two Million people coming to their web site every year for help and the numbers are growing, despite their hard work. They also run a free help line for parents and professionals. I have been told that they are now reaching over 100 countries.
They need money to keep their help line running. When they started about 20 years back they invited all with the same "Mission" and "Goals" to join together. They suggested dropping names, and egos and working together in large numbers to accomplish more. They said they would give-up their names and work with any and all. To this they had no takers.
I do know that these are hard times for more people than we really know. Can we all just support one or two with one or two dollars? When I read that one in four American children goes to bed hungry, this in the greatest country on earth....
Reach out, have your children reach out; that is a valuable lesson for young people. Have them give of themselves and their time. There are soup kitchens and too much more, call your church or any church to find a place to do a kind act.
We Americans have the largest hearts in the world. Please show care about who you give too and I mean even to those who have been taking money for 100 years. If you want the names of the others that we have found just email me.
