Question: To Donate Or Not To Donate?

I have never really been into the fundraising until the last couple days. BUT, I have found it fun and challenging to get businesses to donate. ie small private school for a fund raiser. Anyway, does anyone know WHY a business, in particaluar a restuarant WOULD NOT want to donate to causes? In all my restaurant experiences with those who donate, I normally order just as much as the gift card is while waiting to get the card. I just thought it was kinda funny going to pick up a $25 gift card and ordering $30 worth of food to take home.

Answer: A business would treat being asked for a donation as a marketing question. It does not go down as marketing, but the business wants to know that the donation will help bring in more people because they want to shop at a business that supports the same causes that they do.

Question: Why would Sarah Palin’s PAC spend money to buy Sarah Palin’s own book?

“The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate had her political organization spend more than $63,000 on what her reports describe as “books for fundraising donor fulfillment.” The payments went to Harper Collins, her publisher, and in some instances to HSP Direct, a Virginia-based direct mail fundraising firm that serves a number of well-known conservative politicians and pundits. ”
