Title: Talked my local toy drive in to accepting BTC donations, HELP! Post by: kamant on December 02, 2013, 10:10:05 PM I'm a member of my local Elks and we have a toy drive every Christmas. I have talked with my president about accepting BTC donations and got it okayed. Now I'm stuck. I emptied my wallet in to the fund and now am at a loss as to where I should go next. Is there anywhere (here, reddit, ect) where it is proper to solicit such donations?

You can say it is going to charity, but without proof you won't have any donations.

However, if you are representing a charity and asking for donations, you're going to have to come out of anonymity. Otherwise no one will trust it.

I'm not too concerned with such things, they are just matters of documentation that can be easily verified. I need to know where to go with this information.
