I really wish people would get their priorities straight and understand that giving money to help atleast one person in need is more fruitful than giving money to already rich kids to throw away on what is only a party in the end.. If your looking for any volunteers on any future projects, please tell me how I can get involved. It's time to break the cycle!

The main reason is that those who do exercise it, have created their own programs because it makes more sense. Otherwise, having so many royally endowed ngos and service oriented organizations means they're having the biggest piece of the funding cake. I agree that you might have to tweak your approach. One small suggestion would be to look for partnerships with corporations instead of funding. It doesn't have to look very different. Wasta exists everywhere in some way, shape, or form.
