    Heya guys,

    I'm working on another project - this time though, it won't be for me, and it'll be for charity. I know it can be big - I've got the drive, and so have the others I've been working with, and seeing as I've been pretty useless charity wise for most of my life why not start :p

    Anyways, I'm looking for a legit charity organization that accepts payment through Paypal. I've done research, but none of the big names I know seem to take it - does anyone know of one? I'm aiming to raise $100k USD by the end of the year :)

    Cheers.

    If it is a USA charity, there are many including Red Cross and the American Heart Association. Outside of teh USA, I am not sure.

    Hey Jason, I wonder whether you could actually ring up a charity and see whether the can accept paypal. Otherwise, couldn't you withdraw the money into your bank account and send it via that? Oh and that's very nice thing to do mate ;)

    Considering people do not get something personally out of a donation apart from a sense of well being, I see no reason to donate to charity and then do a chargeback.

    It will not be just me that is donating - maybe twenty, thirty, one hundred or more people. Mainly internet marketers, which is why Paypal is an issue.

    Jason, if you had 100k in paypal, couldn't you just cash it and send in a certified check. How about talking to the Reid wants a new Mooney Aircraft Foundation? j/k
