Seriously?  WOW!  I have always been taught that any time I am doing anything for a non-profit, I
should do it as cheaply as possibly.  I dont find anything wrong with seeking donations.  If I can
save that 50 bucks for something else or to make my bottom line work, I am going to do it.  For my
Eagle Scout project, instead of spending 15 bucks on two pizzas, I had them donated.  I just saved
15 dollars that later went into something else (in this case a patch kit for our tents).
