    So i have this idea for a website. that would have 5 people chosen each day and people can come to the website and donate money to them. these people would be someone who's had something tragic happen to them bankruptcy/life lose/disease.
    but my question is this legal? or do i have to start a organization so people donate there money to the organization then i donate the money to the person. any suggestion will be much appreciated. thank you

    I do not think this would be legal, but wait for answers fro those that do know for sure.

    However.

    Legal or not my question would be how you are going to know if the person asking for donations is real or just another free loading scammer?
