Hey everyone, this is Zoe, I am phoning up the HDR magic phone line.
|
||
|
|
In my cart, outside my work, it is exceedingly windy, so I apologise if you can hear any
|
||
|
|
of that.
|
||
|
|
I have a question for people.
|
||
|
|
I have listened to Leonard's outlaw, and they were talking about how they were having
|
||
|
|
issues with some donations and whether they were encountering with the charity so they
|
||
|
|
couldn't have the Google checkout blah blah blah.
|
||
|
|
A thought came to be, could we set up a charity?
|
||
|
|
Could we actually set up it?
|
||
|
|
I don't think we could set up a charity for HPR being a charity because the podcast,
|
||
|
|
you know, is sponsored by this and blah blah blah, the possible question is that, but could
|
||
|
|
we set up a separate charity?
|
||
|
|
You know, then it's podcast charity, not org or whatever.
|
||
|
|
I have no idea if that's the main thing, but could we do something like that?
|
||
|
|
And take donations where people could put a note and say, I want to donate to £6,000
|
||
|
|
production, you know, and then it's outlawed.
|
||
|
|
And then we use that and we send them the money, obviously we don't take a card, well,
|
||
|
|
it's not going to cost us anything, basically, for setting the charity, we're not going
|
||
|
|
to have a bunch of people on the payroll, but, you know, we would have to do this in several
|
||
|
|
countries.
|
||
|
|
But if there are a way we could actually do that, would that be, well, would that be
|
||
|
|
useful?
|
||
|
|
Because I mean, then people could call it as a tax donation, at least in the US, when
|
||
|
|
you make donation, you can claim the tax back from it.
|
||
|
|
In the UK, you can't, but the charity can claim the tax back and you get an extra donation
|
||
|
|
of, you know, something, a half cent or 20, whatever the PAT is, that's the tax rate
|
||
|
|
is not to get what it is, at least 11,000, actually, but extra bit of money there.
|
||
|
|
So I'm not a lawyer, I'm not a, you know, I've done some stuff for the local scouts and
|
||
|
|
I know they are, what they call a 501C3, whatever it is, something like that, for the
|
||
|
|
registered charity in the United States.
|
||
|
|
The can this be done, is this something that can be, that is easy to set up, or is this
|
||
|
|
something that basically we can't do because you need to prove very things you're a charity
|
||
|
|
we can't do that?
|
||
|
|
So it's a general question for everyone, is this something we can do?
|
||
|
|
Can we set the charity up?
|
||
|
|
I am very interested in the results of this, because I think that would be kind of a
|
||
|
|
cool thing.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, that's about it, you can contact me in the usual places, Zoxoro at gmail.com.exe,
|
||
|
|
Oscar Culo Echo, Fierro Oscar Romeo Uniform, gmail.com, that's on the my hack public website
|
||
|
|
page, the cards on the page, so, you know, there's a thought, so let me know what people think.
|
||
|
|
Right?
|
||
|
|
That's it.
|
||
|
|
See you later.
