Now on to other issues, [size=16pt]I'm all for a charity but not under the name Nairaland[/size]

huntamania:

I feel as a group we shuld be able to create sumtin bigger dan provide 4 jhus dat family, prolly run programme where qualified kids kan be sent to skul. Tinkin of raisin jhus 300k seems short sighted to me. Aw bout we push ourselves and do greater tins. Just sayin

bandiejay:

^^9ja with good start but no finishing

ronkebp:

I am so interested. yeap!!!!! we should have a nairaland account, where people can donate money into it, anytime and we could use that to help people, students who need assistance to further their education, orphanages, petty traders, hospitals and so on, i think this is a very good idea.

yamakuza:


Care to explain why not

naijababe:

Because Nairaland belongs to Seun

yamakuza:

u two dont get along?

naijababe:

i got nothing against the dude and never had any issue with him, just think it's not appropriate to name a charity after a copyrighted entity

r231:

Since it has something to do with nairaland members.

r231:

^^^^^^

Now with the amount of response on this thread, I believe we can all work together to run the NAIRALAND CHARITY ORG just in case something else pops up or a member needs a GENUINE assistance, we can all work together to make it happen.

Each case will be thoroughly accessed and investigated by designated members to avoid fraud.

Me and couple of other members (which I will be disclosing to you guys soon) are working together on this project and with you guys support, I am sure  we will get there.

We are open to ideas and suggestions so please feel free to add or subtract.

REMEMBER WE ARE ONLY TRYING TO HELP   

yamakuza:

1. Should projects be executed on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis? Or as they pop up?

2. Should we 'pass the basket for donations' each time a project comes up, or we disburse from whatever has been collected/saved before?

3. Any other questions/suggestions?

r231:

1. Should projects be executed on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis? Or as they pop up?

Annual preferably end of the yr for less privileged (and we can deal with special case as they pop up depending on the facts)

2. Should we 'pass the basket for donations' each time a project comes up, or we disburse from whatever has been collected/saved before?

Depending on how much we are trying to raise


Just my view. . . . please don't just agree because i said so

OAM4J:

1. Yeah, I agree with this. We should have an annual end of the year project for either orphans, widows or the elderly people starting with this year end. (especially now that Mr. Obus case no longer look feasible)

And other cases will be attended to as they pop up and we see the need to do something.

2. Monthly or Quarterly or annual contribution for the end of the year project depending on the individual, but special fund raising for each case that comes up during d year. While minor urgent need can be taken care of from the account.

3. We should open an account domicile in Nigeria with at least 3 signatories and a paypal account too.
