You have not still explained why it's better to donate 20 cents to you and 80 cents to the charity rather than donating the full dollar to said charity.
I never said it was better.
So why are we supposed to send our money to you instead of directly to the charities themselves with no loss, again?

<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.
Last week, I was stopped by somebody asking for money for basketball for poor kids.
Last month I was stopped by somebody asking for money to send poor kids on a trip or something.
Once a month there are people standing on the corner asking for money for world vision or something similar.
Just a few days ago people knocked on my door asking for money for some other kind of program.
My grocery store will often ask for $2 for this or that cause.
Why should I give money to any of them?
You really shouldn't.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.
A charitable organization is a type of non-profit organization (NPO).

Not sure what to say at the moment...
This is not the problem with this ridiculous idea, in actuality. Charities are allowed to take part of their income in donations to cover program, administrative, and fundraising expenses. However, that said, TheNewTeddy does not seem capable of filing for 503c status, which would be required to legitimately accept money for charity. Additionally, I highly doubt he would pay income tax on this venture. In short, he'd have to pray he never got audited.

I have a disability that is just bad enough that it makes it very difficult for me to get a job, but not so bad that the government thinks I should get assistance.
Your disability mainly impairs socialization and subjective appraisal, but there are many jobs that don't require much or at all
My disability mostly makes it difficult for me to GET a job. IE resume, references, interview, etc.

So, I've been unemployed for a while, but I had a stroke of brilliance. Why not start a charity?
My plan is thus.
I will take a box with a slit and advertise my charity. "Charity Vote".
People will, for as little as $1, get to make a donation, and, vote where the money will go.
At the end of the week, I will tally the donations and the votes. Whatever charity that receives the most votes will get all the donations for the week. Any ballots cast for the winner are then discarded. All ballots for the non-winning charity are kept, and used the next week. This will ensure that every charity should, over time, be able to win at least once.
How will it work?
How will I get paid: I will work a minimum of 44 hours a week. I will pay myself the equal of minimum wage, or, $451 a week. I will reduce this amount as needed so that it is less than 20% of the total donations received that week. Every 6 months, if I've been able to increase donations, I get an $11 a week raise. This is equal to $0.25 cents an hour, and is the raise that McDonalds gives, every 6 months, to employees that are doing their job well.
How will voting work: I will create a ballot with the top 5 or 10 charities in Ontario and people will mark and X and drop it in the box. I will leave a space for write-ins. If any write-in is very popular, I will add it to the ballot.
How will counting work: It might have been a bit confusing from above. Lets use an example. In week 1 I get 200 votes for the Canadian Cancer Society and 150 for the Canadian Red Cross. For week 1 all the donations will then go to the Canadian Cancer Society, and the 200 ballots for said charity are then discarded. Lets say week 2 has identical voting numbers. Remember that only the charity that has won gets it's ballots removed. Thus the week 2 totals are 200 for the Canadian Cancer Society but 300 for the Canadian Red Cross. This is done to ensure that the same single but popular charity does not win week after week.
Who can vote: Anyone who donates at least a dollar will be able to cast a ballot. Only one ballot per person may be cast each day. Each person only gets one ballot regardless of if they donate $1 or $100
The plan would be to star this ASAP. I have all the equipment I need right here in the apartment and could be out on the street on Monday. What I need first is some advice. What are the limits to what I can and can not do without incorporating as a legal charity?
The questions being raised are the ones that I need answered before I begin.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the feedback I've gotten so far even if it's not what I want to hear.
I'll do this for 5 cents on the dollar. Anyone wanna donate?
I'm sciencing as fast as I can !
