I need ideas...
Ok...so I found an investor who can help me start my non profit. It will have 2 main objectives: 1) to raise funds for rescues and 2) to educate people on animals: how to choose the best pet for them, the importance of spaying/neutering, etc...
It will be mainly geared towards the entertainment industry since I am an actress and model(and dancer of course!). Most people in the industry, whether XXX or mainstream, are hard core animal lovers and, based on the feels I've put out, are more then happy to donate to this cause. Either by monetary donations or by volunteering their skills in any way they can. I mean...if strippers were willing to donate the cost of ONE lapdance a week ($20) we could save SO many animals from abusive or neglectful situations. And dancers could totally use it as a hustle too...for those guys who are on the fence. "well, i'm donating the proceeds from tonight to my friends non-profit"..you could use it al night every night even if you are only donating the cost of one! (if your club allows cell phones you can even have him go to the website that will be going up to prove that the charity exists and he can read all about it)Then iffy guys are "donating to a good cause" and not "being a perv who has to pay girls to dance for him"...lolololol So animals get saved AND dancers make more money...win/win!
We can eventually sponsor events like concerts.pole exhibitions, porn star meet and greets or theater performances...with the proceeds going to the non profit to be distributed to rescues that need it.
What I'm oddly REALLY stuck on is a name! Something that conveys the purpose of this, while not being SO detailed that it doesnt emcompass all areas (so just for example" Musicians for animals" would be too specific if that makes sense)
So I'd LOVE to get input on this. Ideas on what to call this so I can register the name, domain name, etc...
Thnaks everyone!!

Re: I need ideas...
Im not the most creative person for helping choose a name, but this sounds like a really good idea!
When you get it up and running let us know where we can get more info so we can join the cause :)

Re: I need ideas...
Great idea...I run Pinups4.com which does sexy not sexual fundraisers for charities...let me know if you want to work together.
Are you sure you want to run a charity (which means following alot of IRS rules and being very end-user focused) or run/work with a fundraising group like pinups4?
Another way to put it: are there groups currently helping animals that do the job well, where/how you want to? Are the animals best off with you opening another charity (and competing with those groups for resources and grants) or working to grow/support a charity that's already operating.
I'm not saying you shouldn't open your charity (I've founded two and would be happy to help)...just asking the tough questions for you to consider

Re: I need ideas...
I've considered all that thanks. There arent too many focused solely on fundraising and education though. And none that are geared towards the people I will be marketing to.
I've given this a lot of thought and research, though I'd be happy for any tips or help you can offer!

Re: I need ideas...
Absolutely...I've founded a few, and love animals and animal causes. My background's in PR and marketing, so if there's anything you need.

Re: I need ideas...
^^ thanks...those are great, but for one reason or another I cant use most of them. It cant say stripper, it cant say pimp, pretty little things is copywrited, etc...
It actually is really hard.
