Where can I find Free website hosting for Charity and Rescue?

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

I am wanting to create a website for reptile rescue. It is intended to educate people about reptiles and find homes for reptiles in need of rescue or for owners that want to get rid of their reptiles. It is not for financial gain so the space needs to be cheap or free. Thanks for the help.

Is website hosting for a charity tax deductible?

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

I’m hosting a website for a registered charity and I’m a little confused on the rules.

Services are not tax deductible, but any additional costs that may occur ARE tax deductible.

This charity is using space and abandwidth on the server that I pay for. I havent charged them a dime because I have a few personal things on the server as well and the server is large enough to host multiple websites.

Tax deductible? No?
Wayne, But I could’ve taken the space and bandwidth and sold it to someone else. Instead, I’m giving it to a registered charity. Doesn’t that have some sort of implication?

How does the person hosting a charity event make money?

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

I’m confused on how the person that is hosting a charity event would make their money. For example: Let’s say someone’s hosting a casino charity event, and all the money that the people loose goes to the cause. So how does the person that host’s the event make any money? Or doesn’t he? Does he just do it to get brownie points for his karma? But then how do big charity organizations make their money, who pays them?
And wouldn’t the people loose many because they have to spend the money to rent all the game tables?
