A local business would like to contribute $25 per sale to a charitable organization. This would generate approximately $8,000 per month of donations and at the end of the year they would probably donate an additional lump sum contribution. They would prefer the funds to go to their community (Dade, Broward, Palm Beach Counties, Florida) but all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.


Answer
The business should look for a tie in to what they do and look for needs within the community. For example a children's shop should consider charities that serve sick or homless or special needs children, a pet center should consider finding a no kill shelter or funding a program to provide veternary care for animals whose owners are not able to afford it or a free spay neuter program, a food related business should help the food bank or a local food pantry, anything home related should consider funding homeless shelters, the school homeless program, or a home reestablishment program. A business with many women customers should help a domestic violence shelter such as The Women's Shelter of Hope or women's health organization or an indigent clinic. This allows brand identification such as McDonald's Ronals McDonals Houses for the families of sick children to have a place to stay near the hospital while their child receives care. Another and maybe better possibility would be to set up a foundation or just offer grant assistance and let local helping organizations present their cause once every quarter and award a $20,000 or 2 $10,000 (or 3 $8,000) grants to the ones who are making a difference in the community. Examples of how that might work can be found on the Darden Restaurants site www.darden.com/grants

If you want to reach beyond FL into GA I can recommend Caring Hands Ministries http://caringhandsmin.tripod.com and Lamp Ministries http://lampga.tripod.com but I would agree that at least a strong percentage of your giving needs to be to your local area. If you want to reach out beyond that statewide, or FL GA or SE regional too perhaps you could split your year's giving keeping 2/3 local and 1/3 regional.
