The Royal Australian Mint released the world’s first Donation Dollar: a one dollar coin designed to be donated. According to new research, three in five (57%) Australians say they would be likely to donate this coin if found in their change. Will you donate it?
Donations, charities begging for money - over it - everywhere you go - media, events - give us money. The new multinational growth industry - charities set up as NGOs - well paid management jobs with about 7% going to the actual cause. Preying on people's goodwill - always want more.
Agree completely - what is more pathetic is these so called stars and political correct wannables fund raising on their behalf - they get generous tax-payer handouts. It is big business hiding behind the face of a charity - Red Cross recently advertised for 3 Donation Co-ordinators at $160,000 pa.
57% are a donation dollar? That’s pretty good given the state of the times where we are encouraged, enforced and warned not to use cash but cards and phones.
<br/>Great concept. Poorly executed. What genius came up with that.
<br/>As Mrs said, the silence is deafening.
