something they always wanted to' under their own dime
That’s the problem. The sponsors think they are giving a donation to the charity, whereas the charity actually only gets what’s left over after the expensive fun has been had.
When I have done sponsored things I have always covered the costs myself and handed all the sponsors money over.
- arbol 7y agoI've done a sponsored charity parachute jump (static line). I paid for the jump and 100% of the funds raised went to the charity. I wonder if they actually have enough data for the claims in the abstract. 30 pounds seems abysmally low even by '99 standards.
- CorvusCrypto 7y agoThat plus people are incorrectly assuming that it's bad that the charity gets leftovers. That money is still a net positive which they wouldn't have made otherwise as well as an increase in sponsors via the event. The amount of cynicism here is daft.
