Our Mission (The Whole Story):
To provide charities a constant and consistent source of fundraising income while providing our members a low priced, high quality, direct dial, customer oriented telephone service and as
required by most charities in these changing and uncertain times, to protect our children, families and friends from the dangers of Door-To-Door solicitation
The operators of CallforCharity.com believe that the world is still inhabited with good, loving, caring people and all the evils and terrible things on the nightly news, although true, do
not take away that you can still have faith in the common man. We have tried to stay immune from the ME generation and you can often here “It’s not all about you” when our
organization is all together.
It’s not, all about “you” or “me” but it’s all about us and there are so many people who work long and hard for the common good and give their time, effort, money, experience and anything
else they can to help their favorite charity. As most people are getting squeezed with less time and less money, the amount of time and money they can give is constantly
shrinking. As this happens many charities operate at the bare minimum levels and things like medical research and aid to the poor and children groups suffer the most. If that
is not a good enough reason to do something and give back to the community then what is.
The money that CallforCharity.com donates to the charities is technically income of CallforCharity and, although not legally bound, the charities receive their money at the 8% donation
level (or the maximum allowed by IRS statute). The consulting accountants and lawyers for CallforCharity.com are working to find the best business structure to maximize the amount
the groups can get while keeping enough to keep the site up and “the lights on”.
Currently, CallforCharity.com operates as a for profit enterprise. This is because we did not want to delay the launch of this site while the accounts and lawyers researched multiple
IRS regulations and guidelines. Also, CallforCharity.com believes that people should be reimbursed for their talents and although our support staff gives a multitude of time to
CallforCharity.com for free we can not expect that they will turn away their paying customers to do work for us for free. Therefore, we have expenses, and we pass none of this cost
on to the members or the organization.
Lastly, we searched long and hard for our provider, Capsule Communications, and our staff used this service for months prior to ever presenting it to our members. We also have called
the customer service center, attended their sales training seminars and talk regularly to the executive sales and inside sales staff. We have always found the service to be
excellent (even at 2:00 AM) and would never present this if we didn’t think it was a superior service and well run organization.
