Welcome to 1DonationCentre, we here at 1DC will help provide you with an honest and informative look at many different charities to help you to determine just which charity is for YOU. We at 1DC have come up with a criteria based ranking system to help make this choice easier. All of our charitable partners will be assessed and ranked on 3 core criteria; the transparency of the organization, the social impacts of the organization over the past 12 months and finally the expenditure-to-actual donation ratio. All these criteria will be assessed and a mark for each of them will be given out of 10, therefore enabling us to then rank an organization out of a possible 30 points. The first of these criteria helps to determine just how open the organization is with its financial and business information with a more transparent organization sharing financials and business related information whilst a less transparent one would not share any financials and just provide the basic business contact information. The social impact of the organization over the past 12 months is a very important criterion as it will help to determine just how active the charity is with community involvement with the better charities running many programs over a 12 month period. The last of these criteria is the expenditure-to-actual donation ratio which reveals just how much of the money a charity raises goes to the cause they are promoting and how much of it goes to internal costs of running the charity.
Over the next few weeks you can look forward to in depth discussions of charities and also updates on current disasters happening in the world which our staff here at 1DC will be posting up.
Happy Donating ;)

I wonder how you fund your business. I think if you approach charity organizations as an independent agent who assesses them in order to provide honest and correct information to donators as well as to draw more donators to them, then you can work with them and earn commission.
ReplyDeleteHi Bikee2011, thank you for your relevant question and taking interest in 1 Donation Centre. Like you said, we are providing in depth analysis' and assessment of charitable organisations as we believe the general public has a right to know what exactly is going on behind closed doors of these organisations.
ReplyDeleteWe believe we are in a position to, like you said, to receive funding from these charitable organisation because of the following:
The organisations who receive positive report from 1DC will attract more donations, therefore increasing their revenue. Furthermore, 1DC will increase revenue for charities through the development of our Central Donating System on our blog, which will make donating easier and simply. We are also in the process of developing an iphone application for our Central Donating System.
In order to continue providing this service to the public and keep our operations running, we will ask for a small fee from all charitable organisations who wish to be on our up and coming Central Donating System. However, only the reputable organisations who received an overall positive report on the operations of their organisation will be invited to join our Central Donating System.
Regards,
1DC Admin.
