Q1: I am 21 and although I have worked with non profits throughout the nation, due to my age many organizations find it hard to take me seriously.
Idea Description
BlueTreeMarketing.com assists the fund raising campaigns of non profit organizations throughout the country. There are an estimate 1.4 million non profit organizations throughout the country and a limited number of funding outlets for all of these organizations. BlueTreeMarketing.com brings auctions to the internet to provide a national audience of supporters for non profits.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
If awarded $10,000 I would be able to seek out more organizations to assist as well as provide donations to organizations in need of assistance.

When you bring the money, people will take you seriously whatever your age is. I think that you should look at yourself as a distributor or hub connecting non-profits with grant foundations and government money. This would be of great service to a non-profit, especially one not used to applying for and receiving grant money.
As far as organizations not taking you seriously, you should perhaps look into a new marketing campaign that takes the focus off of your inexperience or youth and focus their attention onto your services and ideas. Branding yourself as an innovative source of value to non-profits that are continually cash strapped will be such a great way to change the direction and perception of your venture. Here are some branding tips and links to grant money. I just think its a great place to start.
