With all those qualifications one can't argue , Jessica knows how to add 2 + 2.
The tough part comes when deciding if 5 cents in the dollar should go to the needy or 2 cents. Administration doesn't come cheap with such an education. |

facebook has a new angle...on your birthday you ask your facebook friends to donate to your favourite charitable cause...when your friends don't respond, you know they're just 'like' collectors...
costing me a fortune, already...The Royal Flying Doctor Service and The Seattle Dog's Home are popular...

Anyone who seriously wants to make a contribution and get 100% of the value for it, only needs to donate their own time and skills, even though it's not tax deductible - I've found nothing more rewarding.

Handing out propaganda for the White Australia Party gratis doesn't qualify as a charitable endeavor Doc.

Humour CNNPT? Not as funny as the fact that you have Fraudulent organisations like GetUp claiming to to be the voice of the people, when they are funded by low life thug organisations like the CFMEU ($1,120,000), AWU ($100,000) along with overseas leftwing climate alarmist NFP's like "The Sunrise Project" ($495,000) - speaking of volunteers, you should see their staff of "professional activist" parasites ... https://sunriseproject.org.au/people/ No CNNPT, I don't have anything to do with any political parties, unlike you and your red-shirt mates - oops! ... but based on the hours I have contributed to running junior and senior sporting clubs, as a coach, manager, administrator, sponsor and President over the past 25 years, my contribution couldn't be compensated for less than about $500,000. ... but don't worry, WE all appreciate your contribution to TBV, as worthless as it is.

Only someone a crass and classless as you would put it in monetary terms As for your contribution you did it because you love the thrill of feeling in charge. a power kick buzz. Oh and a secondary reason, to help your kids when they were in those clubs but way behind the ego thing

ACNC strips Islamic group Diwan al Dawla of charity status after court finds them dodgy. "no charity is above the law" ACNC's commissioner states. No more tax concessions for this mob

So Trump's "charity", together with this suss mob's "charity" have similarly been disgraced and stripped of their status.
Who would've thought? ps Shane Warne's "charity" also did nothing wrong in its operation, with a host of high end charity events. Just had very little if anything left after expenses to actually provide to the advertised worthy causes. pss I point blank refuse to donate to charity causes of any kind, after a friend who worked for quite some years in the industry quit after realising that about 33% of donations at very best found their way to the disadvantaged.

I have just done a few quick calculations that reinforces how generous Australians are in donating to charities. We have 54,000 of the 1.2 million registered charities in the world (4.5%). Our population is only 0.3% of the worlds population. So we are roughly over represented by charities compared to the average by a factor of 15.

Christ this gets even more amazing. In 2016 1.3 million people in Aust (10.6% of our entire workforce) work for charities. (2016 Australian Charities Report). It also accounts for more than 5% of our GDP

The local Ladies of the night are now charging GST at our local. That's to cover Cop-it-all Gains Tax when they need to replace the working gear. I dare'nt explain the "In Depths " of that procedure but I know a leg of Lamb is involved. |

I understand that your time is worthless Whale, but there is no need for you to be so overtly envious of the joy, and the countless thanks that I have received from giving generously to my community over the years. I don't know if you ever offered to do anything voluntarily in your community (stalking does not count), but there has been a mandatory "working with children" check in place for quite a while now, that you may well have found "restrictive", even if people didn't know you.

WARNING - GENIUS AT WORK! "I point blank refuse to donate to charity causes of any kind [because] ... about 33% of donations at very best found their way to the disadvantaged". So OBVIOUSLY with SC donating NOTHING to the disadvantaged, they are much better off ... I think we can all work out just whom the "disadvantaged" one is in this conversation!!! ... you are a crack up! Say, just for the fun of it, what IS 33% of nothing?

I donate to small animal rescue charities, run by the actual people , who are there, on the ground, doing the rescues and vetting and feeding and caring and re homing for said animals. Or to Buy A Bale, where its all going for fuel and fodder. I would donate to more but dont want my $$ going on admin.

Unfortunately, there is no knowing where the money will go once donated, but donating nothing as SC does, ensures that the end beneficiaries actually do get nothing ...
Certainly, if you are close to a smaller charity like you are aa, you would expect that a bigger percentage does more for the cause than for the people who run it, but without seeing their books ...? Many of these "ex-celebrity/sportspeople" Charities are just an opportunity for them to earn some cash from their reputations in retirement ... cricketers seem to be all over them!

How much time have you spent calculating hours worked at a no doubt inflated rate to come up with $500,000. only a self absorbed,incredible egotist would do that The trouble with you is that you cannot see the worth of anything unless it is expressed in monetary terms, so pathetic Hundreds of thousnds of Australians donate their time to helping schools, sporting clubs ,charities etc, you and very few others are common enough to express it as you did You are one sick bunny And since when is a sporting club a charity ? As for my charity work you don't have a clue, I have done some but have not calculated the monetary value like some nutty dropkick

sbs had a piece about Mercy ships.
Mercy Ships is a global charity that has operated hospital ships in developing nations since 1978, bringing hope and healing to the forgotten poor by mobilising people and resources worldwide, serving all people without regard for race, gender or religion.A dream that began in a young man’s heart has become reality — a big, white, state-of-the-art hospital ship that delivers hope and healing to people around the globe living in dire circumstances. Mercy Ships uses hospital ships to deliver free, world-class health care services, capacity building and sustainable development aid to those without access in the developing world. Founded in 1978, Mercy Ships has worked in more than 70 countries providing services valued at more than $1.53 billion, with more than 2.71 million direct beneficiaries. Each year, more than 1,000 volunteers from over 40 nations serve with Mercy Ships. Professionals including surgeons, dentists, nurses, health care trainers, teachers, cooks, seamen, engineers, and support staff donate their time and skills to the effort. Mercy Ships seeks to transform individuals and serve nations one at a time.Volunteering with Mercy Ships will not only change the lives of those you serve, it will change you. There are many ways to support Mercy Ships in our global medical mission to help the poor. It takes all kinds, with all skills. There is a need for both medical and non-medical volunteers. There are volunteer positions in a variety of areas including: housekeeping, galley, deck crew, doctors and nurses and everything in between. Our volunteer opportunities are both long and short-term on board the Africa Mercy. Short-term crew can volunteer from two weeks to two years depending on the position and typically fill service roles or very specialised medical or technical positions. Long-term crew make an initial commitment of two years and typically fill positions that require more continuity and training. All Mercy Ships volunteers are required to provide/raise their own funds to cover crew fees, travel insurance, and transportation to and from the field service location. Mercy Ships will undertake the arrangements for registration in the nation of service on behalf of all medical personnel volunteering with us, as well as visa arrangements for all volunteers. |

Its amazing here, how many people do volunteer work. In such a small community. There is always some one ready to step up and say they will do ,,,,,whatever. Thats true charity. One of the big things here is driving people for treatment. They have to go over an hour to John Hunter or the Marter, for chemo, or dialisis,,,,( cant spell it ),,,,most 3 times a week,, Imagine the time and driving involved. But always some one to do it,,,, Thats charity without money. The benefits are going straight to the person.

good on them. I bet they don't calculate the worth of their time donated unlike crass, no class Doc People give their time for many reasons apartt from the main one of helping out. Makes them feel good to do something for other, makes them feel thet are giving back to society, religious reasons, many retirees give time to occupt themselves and feel useful. Doc donates his time for some of these reasons but also because he likes to be in charge, whether it be coaching or committees and the main reason it strokes his massive ego. Doesn't matter the reasons, in the end good is done for worthy causes. But the appreciation, thanks from real people around him is not enough, he has to post his good deeds on TBV so anonymous readers will know his good deeds, together with a monetary value of such deeds. Incredible giant ego gone of the rails. The funny thing is Doc thought his posting would give him the adulation and admiration he craves, it has done the opposite shown him for a crass, attention seeking self loving very strange individual As for his emu remarks about me, lolol does ti get any more pathetic, very sad insult, that's all he has |

My mother is 98 in two days time...she still delivers meals to 'old people' who cannot help themselves... My sister, Pam, volunteers to drive chemo or sick people to hospital, also does MOW, and cares for my mother... My brother-in-law is the world surf-life-saving president. Despite his high office, he still does shifts at the beach if they're short. His wife, my sister, cares at hospitals, for people who have no-one visiting. All their children do volunteer work. I've always been involved in some form of voluntary work...my daughter cares for sick animals, is always at me to 'foster' homeless animals...I'd be a zoo-keeper if I said 'yes' to all her requests... Has anyone ever read 'Magnificent Obsession'? It explains how strength of character, helping others, is its own reward...and leads on to more value in life than money will ever give... simple human kindness, tolerance and an awareness that others may not be as fortunate, are the greatest attributes anyone can have... |
