Trying to start a fundraiser?
My town was recently hit by a tornado that left lots of homes destroyed and damaged, businesses gone, people just out of place. It looks in some areas like a bomb went off here. If you’d like to verify, you can Google "Albertville, AL Tornado" to get more information, photos, stories. I’d like to start a fundraiser for the people of my town but I don’t know where to start. Any suggestions/people willing to donate? All help is welcomed!

The hardest part to overcome is the assurance that what you collect will not go into your pocket. Just saying "I’m collecting for …(cause).." doesn’t do much for folk who don’t know you and have no way of verifying your intent.
Insurance will certainly cover some costs. Perhaps the best you can do is to tap into organizations that are already working in your community….Volunteer your time, and energy..,,,and if they want a fund raiser they can give you the guidance and credentials to follow through.
