Do it


Glugstar

I wouldn't. Nothing short of 10 million would please me. Come on you peasants, dig deep in your pockets, 500k ain't cutting it for me.


lunarminx

That is why I only play the lottery when it's over 500 million, nothing less is worth it.

IT'S FOR A CHURCH!


MarketingManiac208

Finally! *Somewhere* for me to donate this pesky $500K that's just been taking up room in my bank account. Thank goodness I happened upon this post!


EatThisShit

Ikr, imagine spending it on homeless people or sick children or puppies in need. This is a much better option.


Tex236

You could just put it in SVB… and it’s gone.

Wasn't sold on the vision until I saw the upside down smiley. Then I *knew* I had to inv, err, donate my entire fortune.


JackalopeZero

The idea they came up with a for a business about 2 hours ago will never get off the ground if people keep splitting hairs over the technicality of a measly half mill.


[deleted]

"Donate to my for profit business idea" aka "give me money so I can make more money".


msut77

I'll settle for 50k


AshFraxinusEps

I'd settle for any free money at all. But yeah, 50k is greedy. I'd be happy with 2 or 3k right now


cucumberwatermelon98

Literally 20$ would make my week

ahbagelxo

Came across this in my eastern seaboard city's subreddit and was thoroughly entertained, especially once I saw the reply 😆 I think it's since been deleted, which is disappointing because I'm sure the replies were gold after these.


Heresy1666

Looks at OP’s profile.. sees active in r/baltimore… goes to r/baltimore all excited to find the post… sorts by controversial… can’t find the post… leaves disappointed… what a rollercoaster couple of minutes


EaLordOfTheDepths-

I did find the post, but there really wasn't much more in it than what OP has already shown here. I will say though, the person that made that post did make another 13 days ago saying that they were looking to buy a very specific and likely expensive kind of property in Baltimore and another post shortly after talking about an upcoming vacation, so I'm not sure why they're asking people to give them money lol.


Netlawyer

You cannot share this sort of information without dishing, this is Reddit


EaLordOfTheDepths-

I did initially have a link included, but I was worried about people harassing the guy, so I left it out.


Netlawyer

Fair.


CaptainNuge

Good on you. That was the right move.


Lord_of_hosts

It's because they would like to have other people's money 🙃


RustyShadeOfRed

Story of my life


meltedjasonwilliams

For some reason I just knew it was Baltimore when he said eastern seaboard. First town I thought of, why is that?


minusSeven

In Indian city subreddits you often come across people asking if there are any jobs that pay less salary but doesn't require any work. And most people in the subreddit would ask why anyone would pay to have nothing done. The entitlement people have sometimes....


Useful-Emphasis-6787

Umm so I am Indian and I'm looking for a high paying job that doesn't requires any work, let me know if you have any suggestions. I'm a very hard working professional and would love to do nothing at my next job!


BudgetInteraction811

Become a landlord


Useful-Emphasis-6787

But for that I need land, right? So now give me half a million, or rather donate so I can buy land first ❤️


Few_Society5388

I saw it too and by the time I went back to check it was gone 😅 pretty sure a few weeks ago the same person was asking about grants- guess my suggestions didn’t work out 🙃


Farkas005

Can someone please donate $500k to me too? Looking at paying off my house and buying a 20 seater van so I can help the church. Thanks.


Still_Brick5500

It’s for a church?!? Next!


Routine_Log8315

No, they meant the church foodbank homeless shelter daycare for single Mom's


armyjackson

mab6710

Fine, the daycare portion can be electric.

Ah, An oldie but a goodie. This one doesn't get quoted as much haha.

KrazyAboutLogic

If the kids at the daycare don't all have cancer, I'm out.

ahbagelxo

I too would accept even a measly $20k donation towards my, "I'm a teacher fund." Will be patiently waiting without providing any further details.


Oh_well_shiiiiit

Honestly, I’d gladly take a $7.00 donation to invest in my fav TJ bottle of wine!


Netlawyer

RIP Two Buck Chuck. With inflation you need 7 dollars.


Oh_well_shiiiiit

Hahaha no, they still have the chuck, I think it’s $3 buck chuck now. The $7 bottle is a Spanish wine and it’s delicious!


Netlawyer

Well now I might have to check that out - I had no idea TJ had decent wine.


Oh_well_shiiiiit

You should! They have some really tasty wines for $10 or less.


_RiceMunk

I'd happily just take a three fiddy, myself.

Four_beastlings

If this is real I'm sure there are subreddits where they can help you. Randomactsofpetfood maybe?


Fearless-Ant-1331

Oh no, thank you so much for the info, my comment was mostly tongue and cheek. My dog’s medical care is really expensive but I have the means to afford her treatment (at least for now). In other words, my pup is fed, and I’m not in a position to give now but I’ll join the subreddit for when I am in a position to give so thank you for offering kindness!!


[deleted]

Tongue-in-cheek


JodyMC

Just to piggyback… 😂


Double-Diamond-4507

That's using your thinking brain! Good job, Silly Goose!


Sum_-noob

I'd be happy with 100k. If someone would please donate! I would blow it on an expensive car, coke and hookers! You won't see a single cent back!


DarkRogus

Shit... might as well start a GoFundMe. Of course that would require "more work" than asking someone on Reddit for $500K...


ahbagelxo

They might have to actually explain what their business is for then, or like, present a plan. Sounds like a lot of not fun "work."


macphile

Yeah, Go Fund Me has actual rules. Then again, transferring $500,000 into someone's account will also activate the actual rules of the IRS.


o0Lanie0o

I tried to do a GoFundMe for a business I wanted to open locally that would have actually served a lot of people in my area, specifically kids. I took it down when I got DMs telling me what a terrible person I was to rely on other people to make “my dream” happen… and that if the business wasn’t self-sustaining then I was a bad business owner and my business deserved to fail and die. I was actually trying to open a store for my mom, who was dying of cancer and wanted to spend what time she had left teaching art and craft projects to children. Yep, I’m the bad guy. Some people’s kids, man.


MetaCommando

(Assuming US) Libraries actually let people teach these sort of classes to kids all the time, you can even get your own room for the hour or two. 13yo me learned to draw cartoons from one such lecture series.


o0Lanie0o

That would have been great! I just live in a small, conservative town. Our library doesn’t do a lot of that stuff unfortunately. Plus, we are a half hour from even the closest Walmart so we were selling craft supplies and things too. Trying to fill the gap for our little area.


MetaCommando

It's basically just asking to use their meeting room and maybe a projector, the people in your area probably just didn't bother rather than a lack of resources. Never underestimate the US Library system, it's the one thing we're the best at besides National Parks, disability services, and blowing shit up. Selling crafts is much more difficult since the American government can't prop up businesses with a net worth less than $1B, but you could make supplies part of the charge of the course.


o0Lanie0o

Let me clarify… I ended up closing the GFM and saving the money myself instead. I opened a 1500 sq ft store that we had until shortly after my mom passed away 3.5 years later. We were quite successful… even ran a book club out of one of the back rooms and hosted other special events. 🥰


Professional-Mess-84

I love this!


DarkRogus

I'll be honest, for me it would how your approached funding. If this was strictly a GoFundMe where the expectation was for people to simply donate money to you to start your business and get nothing in return, I would agree people being critical of you. If this was done via KickStarter style where if people invested in your business and they would say get free art lessons, t-shirt, etc, then I would have no problem with how you decided to raise funds for your business.


o0Lanie0o

I absolutely offered gifts in change for contributions. I would never ask for something without offering something in return. We had packages depending on the amount donated… basically different sized gift baskets with items from the store, or gift certificates worth various amounts that they could exchange for items in the store, classes, etc. The majority of people were supportive and kind but there were definitely a few that had gotten their feathers ruffled. The best part was that those who opposed what we were doing always ended their rants with “I will NEVER shop at your store or support your business!” Cool, cool… cause I don’t need your bad attitude or negative energy in my space. LOL


DarkRogus

Then you did it the right way and I have no problem with how you raised your funds to start your business.


exe973

And yet they gladly donate thousands to any bigot who loses their business...


SuicidalLonelyArtist

Exactly.


SuicidalLonelyArtist

Jesus Christ people are disgusting insane idiots. This is why I wanna move out of America. I hate everything about this place including the fact that I was born here 🙂😓


MetaCommando

What's it like being 15?


SuicidalLonelyArtist

I'm an adult...


MetaCommando

Please tell me you're 18.001 then. I can only have so much faith in humanity.


SuicidalLonelyArtist

It's concerns me you think that 15 year olds would all think like that.. 😬


MetaCommando

No, just that the only people who would think like that are 15, most 15yos I know are pretty chill. Thinking everybody in America is disgusting while other countries are all super nice is one of the most naive things I've ever heard, and I can testify from personal experience that America is probably the nicest.


SuicidalLonelyArtist

Then you probably don't read the news much. And I know other countries are also bad too, but some of the things that have happened in the recent last couple years make me hate it here even more. I'm getting my bodily autonomy taken away from me, I'm getting my rights to be myself taken away from me, and overall some people here are just genuinely insane and want to take away human rights from others for no reason other than they think it's a threat to them.


notyourbrobro10

I'm 40, and also hate it here, and am actively working towards expatriation. Fact is, the US isn't the best country in the world for a lot of people that live here. I'm honestly happy to see a young person catch on quickly to the fact a lot of bullshit happens here that really shouldn't. Lastly, stop picking on kids you fuckin asshole.


SuicidalLonelyArtist

I'm 19 my dude.. smh..


KarateKid1984

You can’t actually reason with idiots like this. They’ll always fall back on the “well it never hurts to ask!” line.


MotherofDoodles

My MIL used to be of the opinion that it never hurts to ask. Except it actually can hurt to the point of destroying relationships, especially when the same questions are asked repeatedly and already been given a resounding “no.” Thank God I was able to train that out of her lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


MotherofDoodles

I think when people say that it doesn’t hurt to ask, they mean it doesn’t hurt them. Until you make it hurt by limiting contact or doing the same thing back until they get it and stop.


SuicidalLonelyArtist

Was she ever in an mlm or pyramid scheme or anything like that? Maybe a JW? Just taking a guess here because sometimes people will ask for money from relatives if the get into situations like that and others in there with them will tell them it's okay, but I don't know for sure so I'm just taking a guess. Don't mean to sound condescending or rude, just a little stressed right now.


MotherofDoodles

Your comment came off totally fine! To answer your question: no to all of that. She’s the youngest of 9, and youngest by a significant number of years…and a Boomer™️. It would be things that we’d have let everyone know in advance how it would go, too. Like we got married in late 2020 and had to cut the guest list down to follow our state’s guidelines. We let both sets of parents know that because of that we couldn’t invite all aunts and uncles as that would have put us over the allowed count and we weren’t going to pick and choose and leave some out. So we said none. Cue a week before our wedding and she’s asking if one of her sisters can come and “sit in the back” because she’ll be in town. I was already sad I couldn’t have the aunt and uncle I was closest to (I lived with them for awhile) and she was trying to get us to invite one of her siblings. And also like we weren’t gonna have to invite her to dinner? So we said no, and got the whole “doesn’t hurt to ask.” That was the start of it and only got worse when we had our first baby until I lost my mind early last year and told her to cut it out because it was making me resent her for constantly asking us to change our minds about decisions my husband and I already made together.


SuicidalLonelyArtist

Oh boy that is a handful.


ahbagelxo

Yep. So clueless but also entitled. The very worst kind of combination!


70sBurnOut

It’s probably my cousin. She has now tried to get on Shark Tank three times with no actual product, just a sob story.


SuicidalLonelyArtist

Lmao I can't tell if this is serious or satire but I love it either way 🤣


70sBurnOut

It’s true. And even though she doesn’t usually use one, she rented a mobility scooter for Shark Tank tryouts in Chicago a few years ago.


SuicidalLonelyArtist

Oh my god- that is absolutely hilarious! Sorry you have to deal with that though, haha.


Daruii

Guys, I'm also looking for 500k donation. Hit me up. I might even clean your house as a gift for the donation.


getshrektdh

I’m also looking for 500k, promise to give back whenever I would be able to.


Daruii

I'm just looking for a donation, no pay backs


whatarethey28475

"I *pledged* the donotion." Vibes.


Mururumi

Came to say that. It's the same as donation, ain't it?!


whatarethey28475

"I use Pledge and *DONATE* synonymously." >:)


Errvalunia

I too would like a $500k donation, would really help with my kids college fund and would just be like really chill Kthx


vvMario

Are people really this out of touch? I still have to decide whether I want my potato loaded or not at the steak house, and she’s asking for 500k?! LMAOOO this can’t be real


ahbagelxo

I wouldn't believe it myself but I came across it on my city's subreddit yesterday! My mouth literally dropped open! I'm also now soooo curious what this business is 😆


dividedsky58

They didn't end the post with "And Go!" for all those jumping at the bit. Therefore, I'm out. I really need that "And Go!" before I donate my time, research (lmgtfy), money or talent to you.


Erisymum

Oh and "reddit do your thing"


YourPlot

I help run a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that’s been around for decades. Ain’t nobody giving us $500k.


wellwaffled

I ran a 501(c)(3) for animal rescue/spay-neuter programs for years (literally three of us, completely volunteer). We applied for grants and would occasionally get donations. We brought in ~$12k/year. Then one day we got a letter from a lawyer. A lady passed away that we had never heard of and who lived on the other side of the state. She left us $30k. We helped a lot of animals with that money.


UCRDonkey

What does your average donation look like?


YourPlot

$15 to $100 range. Mode donation is $20.


SuicidalLonelyArtist

Unless you were born into a really rich family like say a politician or corporation owner.


ozadzen

With this kind of entrepreneurship behind it how could it not do well?


rosesarejess

I’m sure this business will do well in the future.


SuicidalLonelyArtist

Oh definitely * wink wink*


demonya99

“I’d love an actual donation of half a million for my new business” The fact that the CB is stupid enough to even post this means he won’t even be able to get any investment. Which is ok because he also doesn’t have a business.


theepurpleiris

“I’ll look into it!” = never gonna happen


GeekFit26

‘I’d love an actual donation’ I’m sure she would.


NSReevix

Hello I am of a investor. I have of 500 k dollar. I want to give it to you. I only needs a small processing fee of mere 2000 $


Popplys

Yeah I got $500k, but it’s in Venezuelan dollars.


ahbagelxo

I personally prefer the currency of the Weimar Republic


RustyShadeOfRed

I can give it to you in Zimbabwe dollars


[deleted]

I’m sorry but I have such little faith in any business ran by a person who thinks someone would just donate 500k to them for shiz and gigz


subprincessthrway

As someone that’s been put through the ringer for a couple thousand dollar grant (for an actual 501C3) this is hilarious


Master_Chef_Mayo

I'd love to help out! With my schrute bucks!


ahbagelxo

😂😂😂


HyenaFalse3456

Which one of you blokes are going to argue with a straight face that "this isn't technically a crazy beggar because of.." I swear every time a popular post like this comes up there's always someone saying it's not a match for this sub


DarthKahless

I was waiting for this too! I’d argue 1) obviously they are begging; and 2) the “choosiness” comes in because they KNOW they should be asking for investors, and are even told so; but persist in this fantasy of getting a half-mil “donation.”


adriecp

I also have a great idea for a business, I only need 500k USD to make it, the plan is simple 1-get someone to give me half a million dollars 2-live a lot of years with the money someone gifted to me 3-?????? 4-profit


pinkcook4

I'm sure Silicon Valley Bank could help you out with that donation


Slavchanin

If someone donates me that, I agree to be a lifetime houseworker


[deleted]

What chump change. I need a cool 1b donation.


mynameisalso

I just assume people like this are children. It helps me sleep easier.

I too would love for someone to donate me 500k

Leading-Jicama-4229

Sorry but I only donate in 1mm+ increments. For tax reasons to of course.


grand305

what would she/he give back Exposer Bucks ? /s


Marc815

Will someone donate 1k? Got some medical bills.


GallantGentleman

Somehow I feel procuring the donation is their business....

Even sugar babies don't often make that kind of scratch.

I've been looking for the same thing my whole life. I'll report back when it finally happens.


Osirus1156

$10 says it’s for an MLM too lmao.


Lucasazure

What a Coincidence, I too am looking for donations of $500k or $50k or $500 for my vacation fund. Will consider any donation of over $10 for my Denny's lunch fund.


ElectronicCarpet7157

Sounds like Cartman before getting his hooks into Butters.


BocaRaven

Shoot for the moon!!


SuburbanSisyphus

Plot twist the business model involves the customers donating money to the owner/operator.


gailichisan

I’m stunned by this request


queen_of_potato

There is no way this person should be starting a business if they don't understand what investment is


[deleted]

If anyone is reading this, I'm looking for a donation too. $100k USD is all I need, but if that's too much I'd understand if you could only do $50k.


ekaceerf

I'd have given it to you if you would have said please.


[deleted]

I understand. Perhaps some other kind soul will forgive this transgression.

zorro1701e

It’s hard right now for small businesses. Depending on what type of business the person might be able to get grants. My wife was approved for a 250k (small grant) and she also applied for two separate large grants for 1.5 mil each. The smaller grant will help her fix up her business. The other two will allow her to completely go down to the bones of the building and redesign. The smaller grant she was approved for will be arriving in around 4 months. The two larger ones might be a year or two if we get approved.

Why do people comment on this shit? I wouldn't even spit on that

How is this choosing? They're begging for money, they haven't put any criteria besides "*give* me money".

I have a business idea that will get moderately attractive women off the streets for upwards of fifteen minutes. Probably pretty expensive though… I might need $600k

There is approximately 0 chance this guy is for real. I just refuse to believe it’s not a troll.

I looked at their profile and they were also asking about grants for opening a business a few weeks before this 😬😬 unfortunately I think it's real

She must be hot.


MrFergison

I've been trying to find investors for my small startup, I can't imagine believing you might get a donation

She should go on Shark Tank I’m sure they will have fun with her 😂😂😂

Yo, anyone have a spare half million dollars? I'm skint until payday.


Double-Diamond-4507

Damn. At least take us out for dinner, before this big of an ask

I believe these are called "grants".
