This question
is often asked by charities who are asking for our help. Also, people who attend the large, highly
successful fundraising events we host wonder.
They ask other people or just assume that we take a “Cut” of the funds
raised. This assumption comes out of
anger they have based on the size and scope of the event as well as how
financially successful the event appears to be especially when so many of the guests
are making large scale donations.
To answer this
question bluntly – We DO NOT take a commission or a “Cut” of any kind. We charge a very nominal flat rate such as
the venue where the event is being held.
No matter how much the charity raises, our service fee NEVER
changes. It does not matter if our
client raises a million dollars, we are not compensated any more – just the
flat rate.
People often
ask “This makes no sense and is too good to be true.” The reason it makes no sense is due to
unscrupulous people who require a “Cut” or a commission for helping a
charity. Our company was founded on one
simple rule “Charity First” plus we believe that our integrity means more than
our profit. We do not believe that if someone
makes a large donation for our client at a charity fundraising event, that we
deserve a “Cut” of that donation. If I
were the person making the donation and found out that the company or the
auctioneer received a “Cut” of my donation, I would be absolutely furious and
not make any donations whatsoever.
In regard to
our company and services, the statement that “100% of the proceeds goes
directly to the charity” is 100% true.
In the end,
it’s all about ethics and morals. The
right thing to do is always the right thing to do. If our clients make $50,000.00, $100,000.00
or $1,000,000.00 – our fee does not change regardless and guaranteed in
writing.
Are we “Too
good to be true”? We are good and what we
say is true, but we are definitely not too good to be true. Just ask our 1,000’s of happy clients across
the country.
In summary –
No we do not charge a commission or take a “Cut” of the proceeds raised at our
clients fundraising events.
