Anyone know of any sites that do this?

I was thinking of making my own website for this..

List of the charitys ( local animal shelter, local abused women shelter wife used to volunteer at, breast cancer, ect)
then a % that goes to the charity like 90% of all profit and the other 10% goes to upgrading my camera equipment so I can take better pics to sell for charity.
Maybe some limited numbered photos?

I drive ALL over the USA and could get some very nice shots if I had some better equipment.


Ideas? Thoughts? Bad idea? 10% to much to go toward equipment? ( could
be lowered or gotten rid of when I do get the equipment)

Have you looked into the tax implications of doing this?

I thought about doing so, but never really went anywhere with it. I've contributed nothing to this thread.

Nothing yet, my stay at home was to busy and haven't been back home again yet.. Will have some downtime tomorrow morning out here in southern Cali.. So I'll hook up the computer and see what I can find out with that.. I do have a couple links saved I have to read through that should help.

If it's not REAL hard to set up i'm going to give it a try!

Might even see about taking pic donations..

Where people donate a set number of prints to be sold and donated to a charity.

IE: photograper A donates a pic and allows me to make 25 numbered prints to be sold, and picks from the charity list on where he wants the profits to go.

That sound like a good idea? Or am I getting to complicated?

Any other ideas would be welcomed also!
