So September is coming very soon and school is just around the corner. I am about to get the tuition bills in the mail and I am wondering how?

How what you ask?

How to pay it?

I want to know if I start an non-profit organization helping people pay tuition which includes raising lots of money, how many people would jump on board. Are there people that would be willing to give tzedakah to such an orginazation?

I would enlist peoples help with it and try to get it off the ground but I would only start the project if I get enough people helping out either with making phone calls, or with mailings or with the financial side.

All suggestions and input are welcome.

I would set it up first only for New York and if it took off would put pilot programs out for other states to follow.

I would target our parents generation as they are in the best possible position to donate, then I would also target the younger working generation. I wouldn't do an email campaign as that usually doesn't work as it's already overloaded.

Thanks for your suggestions.
