I have an exceptionally innovative affinity-based fund-raising idea for non-profit organizations; however there is a start-up fee of $500 per organization. I want to know how to ask philanthropists, ie: Bill Gates, the Moores, Oprah, etc. for the money to finance these start-up fees for the organizations, so that the non-profit organizations can initiate the program and take advantage of this fund-raisng avenue. It is designed to generate funds on a 24/7/365 basis through their website from their current and future supporters. The non-profits are not asking their supporters for one dime that their supporters aren't currently spending on their vacation and business travel, and/or entertainment. There are no additional advertisement, employee salary, awareness/educational materials or volunteer hours for the non-profit organizations. This program is self-supporting and the non-profits have the benefit of a marketing specialist to help fulfill all of those needs for them. Unfortunately, I am not independently wealthy or I would pay all of the start-up fees for each and every organization just so that they can get up and going and raising literally thousands of extra dollars in funds for their causes. My heart is for the third world countries and their children. In April of this year, I sold everything that I owned (except for my computer and car) and donated the money to a non-profit organization that helps former child soldiers in Uganda, Africa. After the sale and disbursement of funds, I still wanted to do more, so I started thinking about and researching ways to help non-profit organizations raise more money. I came upon the perfect solution, but like I said, there is a start-up fee of $500 per organization that I cannot pay myself. I need to know the best, correct and most effective way to solicit money from philanthropists for these start-up fees for the non-profit organizations. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!
No, i'm serious, its really hard to read. No one is going to take the time to squint and strain their eyes to read that! Its much easier with just normal font.

Have you checked your state and county websites? They usually have assistance for people in this situation
Actually you are not even close to the same boat as the OP. His question was how to contact philanthropies to offer them an idea for fund raising. Your question is about getting funds to live on. You need to talk to your local social services agency.

OK. YOU don't ask the Gates, Moores, Oprah for anything. You need to approach the lower tier organizations that need to constantly generate funds and constantly do fund raising with your idea. If they feel it has merit, they will know where to get the funds to buy in.
You need a professional grant writer or someone who is familiar with applying for grants. My sister did it for years and I have encouraged her to freelance, but she isn't interested.
I am not clear on what the $500 is for. My sister worked for an organization that worked with the blind and she applied for grants from 10k to .5 mil and no application fee was necessary.
Can you elaborate on what exactly the $500 per organization is used for?
