Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:He wants evidence that the money is being used for its intended purpose. Same as I asked for a few weeks back and didn't get.
Pinball EDU will not get donations from me until they show how much they collect, what it's being spent on, and how much is left.
Genuinely curious, are you donating more money than beyond the $40 raffle? I mean I get if you're throwing extra money as an actual donation and you don't feel it's being used appropriately. I could see you wanting more info, but if you're just buying raffle tickets for a chance to win a pinball machine, then what's the issue? It's not different than buying a lotto ticket or scratch-off, you're paying for a chance at winning. That money is going to the state where there really is no transparency, despite what they may say.
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:If your goal is to support a charity, do enough research to satisfy yourself that your donation is being used to your satisfaction. Less than 30% of my donation helping those in need doesn't meet my criteria.
But are you supporting a charity when you're buying a ticket from EDU or are you trying to win yourself a pinball machine for $40/chance? I'm not trying to bust your balls here, but I see a bunch of posts on this thread (from others as well) have this weird angle like people have been throwing money at this charity and have somehow been duped into paying for a guys vacation house and Ferrari. When really you've been putting $40/chance on trying to win yourself a $5000 pinball game. Would you have done this raffle even if you didn't know where the money was going? Let's not kid ourselves here.
