A for profit company claims to be giving proceeds to charity, but I can’t find the information on the charities 990. I can’t find a foundation for the company on the foundation center website. I want to find out if this is legitimate or schemish. The charity seems to be supporting the claim (atleast one of them does), but something doesn’t seem right.

If I was going to have a charity drive, and all the proceeds would be devided evenly between al 50 States, what charity would be best to donate to?

Ex Scotland, now in New Zealand. 66 yrs old. Seek sponsors to enable me to do charity walk around Britain. Over 4000 kms - 5 months. In aid of Brit. Heart Foundation.
I had quad. heart bypass 1977 - wish to make contribution. On superannuation. Have airfare only. Need about 14000 pounds.
Possible English friend, also quad. bypass, will walk with me.
I’m writing book on this, and proceeds from it, if any, to go to N Z Heart Foundation. Email tkr0013@iconz.co.nz if you want a pdf copy of draft of book so far. It’s a bit humourous (I hope) and has maps of planned route and tentative stop places.
Anyone wanting to walk part or all with me most welcome, more so if you can help raise funds.
David.
