Here’s the deal, I have been asked to call local companies and ask for door prize donations for our high school reunion. The problem I have is that I don’t feel like that is a very proper thing to do. Community and Charity events, I see where this would be okay but a high school reunion, come on? My second problem is telling the committee that I don’t agree with that and I don’t want to do it! Any etiquette advice about this that I could share with them? Anything, please!

All I can find online is donation sites in the Philippines and some drop off locations in California. I’m from CT and would like either a closer drop off location or and address I could send it to. Thanks for the help!

I have old plaques, trophies, and brownie/girl Scout items that I would like to donate. All are in good condition-Maybe the brass can be removed on the wooden plaque frames so that another name plate or what have you can be put on.

I want to collect items for a homeless shelter in my area, by handing out flyers and telling friends and family about what I am doing. Do I need to be part of an organization or anything to do this?

The charity is the Humane Society. Should I include a small list of items that are greatly in need there? I don’t want to word it as so that anyone would be offended. It is most important that the children come and we do not expect anything from anyone. Would like help on proper etiquette wording please.. THANKS!

My great-aunt and neighbor both passed away this week so I was wanting to contribute to “Doctors Without Borders” Haiti relief efforts. I’m a young graduate student (so very strapped for cash, but I know every bit helps) with lack of social etiquette in the adult world, and I don’t know what I’m doing! Should I send a card saying a donation has been made in their “name” or “honor” ? Is it improper to tell them? How do I make a donation in “their name” if the name has to match my debit card information? I’m so confused!

I’d like to start donating money to a charity that focuses on Africa or the Middle East but want to make sure that the money I donate is accounted for and goes directly to the family. My friend in Denmark contributes to a charity where the sponsor child and family writes to tell you what the money was spent on. Does something like this exist in the US, and is it credible? Thanks

I know the Red Cross fails to offer more than 10% of what they take in to those in need.
