One example of how to run a charity shoe drive comes from The Shoeman who started such a drive while working to clean up the water around the world. This organization which accepts donations of shoes from various businesses, churches, schools and special events in various areas of the United States works to provide affordable footwear and clean drinking water to those most in need in third world countries.
So where do the shoes come from? Organizations in various parts of the United States run charity drives to collect shoes from businesses, churches, schools and special events. Once such shoes are collected, the shoes are then delivered to third-world countries where the shoes are resold at affordable prices. After which, monies collected go to a variety of communities which are in desperate need of clean drinking water and other services.
Of course, through the process of getting affordable footwear to people in need, the organization is also helping to prevent damage and disease to the feet of the people who get the shoes. In addition, monies earned from reselling such shoes in third-world countries goes to pay for clean drinking water, treatment systems and pump repair, through many organizations.
You can set up a website about your charity shoe drive. You may also want to place ads or listings in local newspapers or calendars which are often free for non-profit organizations. Of course, if you are going to host a successful benefit or drive, you may want to list notices in as many local calendars as possible. This will give you the best possible chance of acquiring both volunteers and donations to an event.
In addition, while this particular shoe project started out solo, eventually the charity partnered with another firm who sees that supplies generated are delivered to those in need. As such, the shoes collected help many individuals in need of both affordable footwear and clean water. So, while at times challenging, the partnership continues to be a success with many business, churches, schools and special events donating shoes throughout the year.
Also, in the case of this particular not-for-profit partnership, the water delivery organization provides ongoing training in relation to a number of issues related to water. Whereas, the other organization collects and ships the shoes which have been donated throughout the year. As such, the organizations work in harmony with one another to assure that the donations received go to generate funds to help those most in need at the time such funds are made available.
Since various rules and regulations may exist in different areas, you may want to check local guidelines in relation to both obtaining 501C3 status and hosting such events. For, while some areas may have no such laws, most do. Therefore, it is always best to know in advance, especially if one is going to operate on 501C3 status and not have to pay taxes on monies received during such events.
So, while this particular project may be focused on how to run a charity shoe drive successfully, one can find a great many ways in which to benefit others. For there are a number of other items which you may be able to recycle and resell in order to obtain such funding. However before hosting such an event or raising funds for charity, you may want to assure that you have all 501C3 status documentation in order so that one does not have to pay tax on donations received the process.
