Charity Watchdog Group CWG Website
CWG would deeply research Charities and Non-Profit Organizations. Then disclose to the public on factual data such as where the dollar you donate goes to in a pie chart form broken down in areas such as Advertising, Officers Salaries, Travel, and Actual Amount to the cause. Checks for conflicts
Q1: Am I the only one, that thinks there are scams on IdeaBlob? (They all seem to be in African Countries such as Kenya, Uganda, and Nigeria, working on your heart and soul with Children with AIDS etc. ) I just don't buy into this!!
Idea Description
CWG would research Charities and Non-Profit Organizations. Then via the internet disclose to the public on factual data from obtained public information. Disclosures such as, where the dollar you donate goes to in a pie chart form broken down. Areas such as Advertising, Officers Salaries, Travel, and Actual Amount to the cause. The group checks for conflicts of interest such as connections to "For Profit" Companies, foreign governments, organized crime, child exploitation, and background checks of the officers and founders. These organizations are popping up on the internet and many are scams disguised as worldly saints, that are impossible to check out. Some may be on IdeaBlob right now!
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Win or not, this "Consumer Reports of Charities" must be started by someone. I am willing to put a great deal of effort into the start-up. The funding must run on sponsorships and/or advertising. 100% of the 10K would go into the legal formation and the promotion of this idea. This site would "practice what it preaches" and would disclose to the public everything about the CWG in the same manner as it discloses other organizations. I don't know about you, but I am sick of all these "out of the country" scams that are popping everywhere on the internet and I believe they are rampant on IdeaBlob!!
Vote for it now.
After the provided link of an established site: http://www.charitynavigator.org, I am changing the idea, but not withdrawing it. The watchdog group would link to charitynavigator and investigate deeply into the worst of worst rip-off organizations and expose them for what they are. We would have the top 50 ripoff organizations! We we also aid authorities in shutting them down!
