Uhm Lola...a lot of those companies state on there websites more or less that they are not making donations, PTA's don't fall into their area of giving etc....so are you saying ALL those have donated to you? I live next to Mt. Hood - there is no 'Mt. Hood Resort", Big Sky resort only gives if you are in their area - as with Mt. Bachelor....you seem to be all over the US! Hell - I'm by the Adidas world hq and they won't give to us! Cabela's has to be specifically about outdoor recreation education....Are you just listing sites with donation request info on the website? If so, I have seen most of these, if they have all given you donations TELL THE REST OF US WHAT WE ARE DOING WRONG Becasue you got skills!!!

Wow Lola you're amazing! I have a question...how do you contact musicians and authors?

Thanks!!!

Lola - WOW, you have an amazing list. I only started out recently and am learning so much from this Board. Thank you so much for sharing. I, too, have contacted some of your names but got rejections from them. It goes to show you that each organization's appeal is different and that that is what will ultimately determine what donations you receive.

Lola --

That's a great list!

But, many of those have been a consistent "no" for as long as I've been following this thread. I guess there's no way to go through and edit it where it's easier to know which ones are still donating, is there?

All contacts can be found by googling the company and "donation request". If there is not a direct link, I use the "contact us". Good luck to you!

My list is what it is because of the help of others. Of course I have worked hard - we all have. We are in the business of helping without asking for anything in return. To be so selfish is a complete opposite of that. Isn't that what we are all here for? To get information from others? Shame on you. Here is my list.
