"Give a little" donation pages removed

 The two different donation pages of Nark "Give a little":

For those who are unfamiliar with Give a Little here is an overview:

Overview

 

Givealittle is a zero fees fundraising service that is owned and operated by the Telecom Foundation, the charitable foundation of Telecom New Zealand Limited. We operate Givealittle to facilitate online donations from Donors to Fundraising Members who have set up an online fundraising page for a good cause.

More on the Give a little Website here

Give a little is a great way to advertise for donations for a cause etc. But the flipside to it is its also great for Scammers to use too. Please read further.

From the give a little website:



Cause Page
 

Where a User creates a Givealittle Page to raise funds for a Fundraising Beneficiary with the capacity to self register on Givealittle, the Fundraising Beneficiary must be first registered on Givealittle to enable the User to create a page type which enables us to attribute donations directly to the Fundraising Beneficiary.

The first is the Nark Cause: Amount $2,280.00

Givealittle  Pages

 

All Users may create a Givealittle Page:

(a) for untagged purpose on behalf of an organisation (profile page)

(b) for a specific purpose on behalf of themselves as either an organisation, group or individual user (cause page)

 (c) to the benefit of another organisation or cause (champion page)

 (d) in association with an organised fundraising event or appeal (event page)

A User must ensure that the Content uploaded to a Givealittle Page does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party (including copyright). Where it does, the User must obtain the owner's written consent to the use of it.

We reserve the right to remove any Content from any Givealittle Page, at our sole discretion and without notice if any intellectual property rights are contested. If you suspect a breach of any intellectual property right on the Website, please email us at
helpdesk@givealittle.co.nz.

Profile Pages

  

Only Users who operate on a not-for-profit basis (whether holding a Registered Charitable Status or not) can create a Givealittle page for untagged donations. You may only register as a User representing an organisation if you can form a legally binding contract that is enforceable against you.

Code of Conduct

 

 

The integrity of the Givealittle service is dependent upon all Users conducting themselves in a responsible and legal manner. Telecom Foundation operates a moderation, approval and verification process in a best effort to ensure all Users and Content complies with standards required for a healthy public giving community.

 Breaches requiring immediate remedy or invoking termination include (but are not limited to):

 (a) An attempt to use the Givealittle service to raise funds for activities or intentions which are directly or indirectly illegal according to New Zealand law;

 (b) Misrepresentation of identify or affiliation with any other person or organisation;

 (c) Using Givealittle to send junk email or "spam" to people contrary to the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007;

 The User covenants in respect of any Content uploaded on the Website that it does not:

 (b) Detrimentally affect the brand or reputation of Givealittle, the Telecom Foundation, Telecom New Zealand Limited, any other User or any affiliates or partners of Telecom Foundation;

 (c) Be misleading as to the nature, type, service, intentions or benefits resulting from donations to the Content;

 (d) Contain inaccurate, ambiguous, exaggerated, defamatory, untrue, or out of date information;

Donor Trust & Confidence 

 

 It is important to note that not all Fundraising Members and Fundraising Beneficiaries on Givealittle are registered New Zealand charities under the Charities Act. We endeavour, through the Telecom Foundation verification process, to identify whether a Fundraising Member or Fundraising Beneficiary has:

(a) Registered Charitable Status; and/ or

(b) Donee Tax Status

(c) A Verified Bank Account.

Undertaking the Telecom Foundation verification is an optional process for Fundraising Members and Fundraising Beneficiaries to increase public trust and confidence in their Givealittle Page.

Givealittle provides Donors with a Donor Confidence Key on all Givealittle Pages where a donate functionality is enable. This key provides Donors with important information collected by the Telecom Foundation to support informed, independent donation decision making by all Users. All reasonable efforts will be taken to ensure that information is accurate when moderated, approved, verified and displayed in the Donor Confidence Key, however no liability shall attach to the Telecom Foundation in the event of mistake or error in the moderation, approval or verification process.

Taxation and Accounting Matters

 

 It is important to note that the Telecom Foundation is not an accounting, taxation or financial adviser for donations, and Users should not rely on any information given on Givealittle to determine the accounting, tax or financial consequences of making a donation or using Givealittle to fundraise.

We strongly recommend that all Users consult with their own adviser(s) about any accounting, taxation or financial consequences. This is particularly important if:

(a) a Donor requires a tax rebate for their donation, in which case the Donor is responsible for verifying the donee status of the Fundraising Member

 (b) a Fundraising Member is establishing a Givealittle Page for their own cause, in which case the Fundraising Member is responsible for any tax associated with any donations (and indemnifies Telecom Foundation from any liability in this regard)

(c) a Fundraising Beneficiary is required to account for or audit all donations raised by third party entities.

Termination

 We reserve the right to reject any User registration, Givealittle Page or terminate a registered User without cause or any obligation to discuss the matter with that User.

Without limiting this absolute freedom, we may terminate a User if:

(a) a serious complaint is received or a number of complaints (amounting to what we determine as a serious complaint) are received about the User and his/her/its conduct in using the Website;

(b) if the User breaches these Terms;

(c) if you attempt to login as another User other than at the express and constant direction of that User (where the registered User is not capable of logging-in due to a disability); or

if we deem the User's behaviour to be unacceptable (as solely determined by Telecom Foundation).

Users registered more than once without our express consent may have all of their Givealittle registrations cancelled.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So on the 14th of January 2014 this year, we sent the complaint email to the Give a little website , for removal of both pages relating to Nark. Thankfully after our concerns were read, they removed the pages .

Ms Cherie was quite happy to advertise for donations on the "Give a little" site, right up until the 16th of January this year, even though her Org is Non- Existent and had been from the beginning....

 

This would be from June 2011- January 2014

The following is from the Article:

 

'Nark' crusader gains fans

Last updated 08:03 22/06/2011

 

Link here: Stuff.co.nz

 A Ngaruawahia woman is fast becoming one of New Zealand's most popular people on Facebook. CHRIS GARD

She may not have made many friends in Ngaruawahia, but more than 10,000 people like Cherie Kurarangi Sweeney on Facebook.

Ms Sweeney has been called a nark for going public on New Zealand's appalling record of child abuse following the death of a neighbouring infant, Serenity Scott-Dinnington, earlier this year. 

But she has turned the ugly label around by turning the initials into an acronym: Nation of Advocates for the Rights of Kids (Nark).

The group's Facebook page "STOP Death by Abuse of our Children" is liked by 10,241 people, among them politicians including former Maori Party MP Hone Harawira.

"This page will centre on family violence, social issues, child safety, alcohol and drugs and developing support networks in our communities to STOP the Deaths by Abuse of "OUR" Children," Ms Sweeney wrote on the page in a May 13 post.

She was humbled by the amount of support she has had.

The trust which is starting with a $345 in the coffers from public donations will advocate for the nation's children.

Ms Sweeney is establishing a Rest In Peace tab on the site, which will feature pictures of victims alongside inquest reports. 

 

"I tried to get coroners' reports, but they told me it would be $50 per application. With 150 names that's $7500 I don't have."

 

While it's early days  the trust will hold a meeting in Ngaruawahia later this month to draw up its mandate  supporters on Facebook are brimming with ideas, including a national march to raise awareness.

 

"People have designed logos, a few of the MPs have decided to get in on it." Ms Sweeney said.

 

"I can get people together (through Facebook) who are having issues.

 

"There's been heaps and heaps of messages on the page. It's a very big eye-opener for me.

 

"A lot of it is just being able to speak up. We are setting up this Nark Trust here, in Ngaruawahia, and we have to set up a bank account."

 

The Nark Trust will meet at the Ngaruawahia Community House on June 27.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was NO accountability for monies accumulated and the Nark Trust was never set up legally as a Trust, Charity, Org or other...... 

 

So this leaves the question, how much money did Cherie solicit?  Where did that money go?

 

She never got the inquest reports, as she had said in the article.

 

"I tried to get coroners' reports, but they told me it would be $50 per application. With 150 names that's $7500 I don't have."

 

She certainly solicited for monies from the very beginnings.

 

 

If we had not sent a complaint of removal request, to the Give a little site, she would certainly have continued to use the Nark "give a little pages", until this day. She gave no notice to the Give a little site team as to informing them its a non entity and non Transparency of her fake Org. 

 

Ms Cherie Sweeney's lack of integrity is extremely disappointing, and her continuation of using "heartfelt issues" throughout the years as her money incentive, is quite questionable to say the least.
