Anyone Have Non-Profit/Charitable Organizafion Experience?


Recommended Posts

Just came up with a great idea for a charitable organization that could potentially reach athletes in-need both in the United States and less fortunate nations abroad. I have some connections in the football industry that could potentially make it possible, and a handful of relationships with NFL athletes that could serve as my advertising platform on social media in return for good PR at no detriment or cost to them. 

I don’t want to give too much away or say too much at this time, but what would be my main challenges to get this ball rolling from a business perspective? Obviously I wouldn’t and couldn’t take a salary for some time and I’m not sure being profitable is even the goal at the end of the day, but building this from the ground up is obviously a massive undertaking and challenge. I have a close friend who is extremely busy savvy, currently lives in the Silicon Valley and has started numerous business and charitable organizations of his own that is willing to be of assistance. He has told me “the hardest part is just getting the ball rolling”. I know of an easy way to get the ball rolling, but it may fizzle out without any true infrastructure behind it. 

Any advice, thoughts, or anything for that matter that you would feel necessary to share with me please do.

    • So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...
    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
