[QUOTE="W. Mark Hellinger, post: 91497, member: 692"] Re: Dan Pallotta on what's wrong with how we think about charity I first-off ask to see their list of sponsors. Generally the event organizer(s) will ask me why? I explain they're asking me to make a $X,XXX.xx contribution to their event in services... and I'll explain that if I'm in like company in supporting their event, in-that they've secured similar level donations of goods, services, or cash from other small businesses in the area in support of their event, then we'll talk. Otherwise I'll consider making a donation on-par with their other donors that are my peers. I've had two events over they years that stepped up to the plate and delivered... and I do those two events yearly for free (and they're both very good events). Not that I'm a heartless tight-wad... it's just that I'm of the opinion that if you're going to do something for free... stay away from doing things that really suck for free... and somehow you gotta have a system to read the tea leaves... the above is my system.
