Q: Most states have specific rules and regulations regarding fundraising. Different forms must be filed from state to state and there may be taxes you need to pay depending on your cause or location. Before you begin planning a fundraiser, review your state's fundraising guidelines on your government website. If you have any questions, reach out to a local non-profit and ask for advice and insight. Knowing your audience is key to running a successful fundraiser. Try to get a sense of what types of donors flock to what types of fundraisers. This will give you a better sense of what kind of fundraiser to run. Review attendance records and donation records for the cause you're supporting. Look at demographics. Is the crowd older, younger, liberal, conservative? You can get a sense of what kind of fundraiser would be most successful based on this data. If you're working with an older crowd, you might want to fall back on more traditional fundraisers. Things like bake sales and charity auctions might work best. A younger crowd might be more drawn to something light and fun like a karaoke contest. Younger people also tend to be more tech savvy, so online crowd-funding campaigns may be more appealing. Some charities are more effective than others, and you want to make sure that your money will be spent as well as possible. Consider charity rating websites, and testimonials from the community. Some charities are considered unhelpful by the community they claim to support. For example, many breast cancer awareness campaigns spend more money on hypersexualized awareness ads than on helping survivors, and Autism Speaks exploits and dehumanizes autistic people. Do your research, and look for charities that aren't torn with controversy. If you want to run a fundraiser, it's a tough job to do alone. Get a team together of like-minded individuals who believe in the same cause. Work together to put on a successful fundraiser. In most areas, there are groups dedicated to a variety of causes. See if you can find a relevant group in your area, attend a meeting, and see if anyone is interested in helping with a fundraiser. Churches are also big on fundraisers. If you attend church, try seeking out help there. You can advertise on websites like Facebook and Craig's List that you're looking for volunteers to help with a fundraiser.
A: Review your state's regulations. Get to know your audience. Research the best charities, if applicable. Gather like minded people.

Q: Make sure you are using raw honey that has not been treated and is unpasteurized. You can find raw honey at health food stores, farmer's markets, and online. Using raw honey, as opposed to the bottled honey you get in grocery stores, will ensure it is natural and toxin free. You will also reap more of the medicinal benefits of the honey by using it in raw form. Before you use honey on your skin, you want to make sure you are not allergic to honey. You can do this by getting an allergy test done at your doctor's office. You can also do a spot test on your skin to ensure you do not have an allergic reaction. Place a small amount of honey on your hand or a section of your skin that can be covered up. Wait one hour. If you do not have an allergic reaction, such as itchiness, redness, or swelling, you can likely proceed with the honey and sugar scrub. Add more if you'd like to use the scrub/mask on your neck as well. Make sure it is not too thick. You can also use brown sugar. The crystals in fine baking and brown sugar are softer than regular table sugar. This is an optional step. Make sure you use a fresh lemon as older lemons have added ascorbic acid which can cause more harm than help. The mixture should be thick enough that it falls off your finger "very" slowly. If it slides off quickly, it will slide off your face quickly as well. Add more sugar if the mixture is runny. If the mix is too thick, add more honey.
A:
Use raw honey. Scoop 1 tablespoons of honey into a small bowl or plate. Add 1 tablespoons of ultra fine baking sugar to the honey. Add 3-5 droplets of fresh lemon juice for freshness. Test the consistency by scooping it onto your finger.
