Chance To Bid On Tennessee Elk Conservation Tag – Bid Today!

Safari Club International's Chattanooga Chapter and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Foundation (a 501(c)(3) entity) announce that a Tennessee Conservation elk tag has gone up for auction on eBay. The auction will run for 10 days. Please use this link: www.ebay.com and enter item number 200360985418. Last month, four winners were drawn from the more than 16,000 applicants to receive an elk tag. This elk hunt will be Tennessee's first in more than 150 years. A fifth tag -- the one placed on eBay -- will be auctioned with 100% of the proceeds going to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Foundation's elk restoration fund.



A huntable population of elk in Tennessee has long been a goal of SCI's Chattanooga Chapter, which, along with the Safari Club International Foundation, donated $13,000 to date towards the $20,000 targeted for this project.

The freshest tracks still have feet in them.

I for one, would like to see the peperwork where it goes directly to the foundation. There is so much unrest in the economy these days, that I could see some of the funds being distributed elsewhere.

They say 100% of the money goes to the project but when I read the particulars a portion of it goes to pay for "processing".

Here is their breakdown:

Donation Amount Amount Deducted From Donation
$5-$49.99 20% of donation
$50-$199.99 20% of the initial $49.99 donated ($10) + 15% of the remaining donation
$200-$999.99 20% of the initial $49.99 donated ($10) + 15% of the initial $50-$199.99 donated ($32.50) + 10% of remaining donation
$1,000-$4,999.99 20% of the initial $49.99 donated ($10) + 15% of the initial $50-$199.99 donated ($32.50) + 10% of initial $200-$999.99 ($112.50) + 5% of remaining donation
$5,000+ 20% of the initial $49.99 donated ($10) + 15% of the initial $50-$199.99 donated ($32.50) + 10% of initial $200-$999.99 ($112.50) + 5% of initial $1,000-$4,999.99 ($312.50) + 3% of remaining donation

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."

Processing? You mean payroll, paperwork, Rangers to oversee the hunt and so on. Nothing is ever 100% donated to the organization in these cases.
 
Thanks for the breakdown bro.
