Have you ever got in over your head trying to do a good deed?

Yeah, im sure JJ is working that excel spreadsheet like crazy!

Yea, the OP is kinda tarded. Easy enough to let the money sit for a couple weeks while hiring someone with big-time charity operations under the belt.

Would easily be worth a six figure contract(6mo to a year) to get qualified candidates. And who would bat an eye if 29,850,000 is properly given to those in need as a result.

Not at all. I would be Red-Crossing that money left and right until my net worth went up by $25 million.

---

it is amazing how all that money donated to Red Cross doesnt actually go to the cause.

Opinions, assholes everyone has one.

You cant be paralyzed trying to pls the mob.

When possible, its ideal to offer refunds pro rata, or 100% until money is gone.

Two women made it in the bed and wouldn't get out until I gave them the rest of what I had left.

Congrats!

Only thing I got was after a friends unexpected death funds were raised for the funeral. There was a couple thousand dollars left over after everything was paid for. We just decided to donate it to an appropriate charity associated with the deceased and actually got some anonymous hate mail for doing so.

how much would you be sweating right now on how to appropriately put to good use that amount of other people's money?

yeah, it'd be so difficult to have a grant application process for people to be given ex (25k or 50k) each to go towards rebuilding of their flooded homes. i mean, that's 300 families he can help by giving 50k to and that only adds up to 15 million.

Yep, took a bunch of necessities down from central Alabama right after Katrina to south Ms. Ice, diapers, batteries, bottled water, etc. Pulled into a shelter southwest of Hattiesburg at a church off of the interstate. Folks saw that I had supplies and rushed the truck. Started divying out what I had the best I could. As I was running low and needed to get the rest to another shelter and pulling out of the parking lot people were trying to jump in the bed of the truck and hitting it with sticks and whatever they could get their hands on. Two women made it in the bed and wouldn't get out until I gave them the rest of what I had left. After 30 minutes of neguotiating they did get out but I was just trying to do a good deed and get down the road. Scary situation when strangers are hanging all over your vehicle unwilling to get off unless their demands are met.

Just in case you ever type something worth reading (and this may have been?), mash that Return Key (the one with the crooked arrow pointing Left), after every other period.

It will look like less words, and be spaced out enough that someone can read it without too much damn effort.

(and it might even make you look like you went to skool a few years)

But you're missing the point. Who is going to review the grants? What is the grant application process? Who would follow-up on the grant money use?

Again, think big picture. It's $30M after all.

A) You literally think JJ Watt's charity is JJ Watt on his sofa?

B) You literally don't think 30m can't buy "staff support" to help with whatever administration system needed?

---

A. You use the word "literally" like a valley girl. Stop it. The Board of Directors consists of his mom, a dude with an MBA, an attorney, and a financial planner--likely all people he knew growing up, in school, etc.

B. Thirty million dollars can certainly buy "staff support." Where is he going to hire the help? Who is experienced in handling that kind of process? The only people who are experienced in the management of these sorts of processes are already working for large non-profits. You think his foundation is going to lure them from their current roles to manage this one-time influx of cash?

From this it sounds like there is one dude reviewing applications for school grants that they currently handle.



That's all I'm saying. Yes, half of the money can go to 'management' of the funds. Or his foundation can just admit that they are in no position to handle that kind of money, and pass it along to a larger organization to handle. Which is what I see happening.
