And it has monetary value as a tax write off ie. charitable donation .

But think of the publicity angle of that. Trappers donating fur to keep freezing children warm. A large scale effort like that would be great publicity for us. All we'd need to find is someone willing to sew it up... but the biggest stumbling block would be tanning fees.

All we'd need to find is someone willing to sew it up... but the biggest stumbling block would be tanning fees. you do have a point on the publicity it would give us a very good reputation. not only is it a great cause. But it also gives us a great publicity through out the world

This idea makes me think of some unscrupulous guy taking all the little kids furs and cashing them in for himself. Do these charitable deals ever work out in third World Countries?
I figured instead of giving my fur to some Chinese fur buyer, that I'd give some to my State Trapping Association. They can have them tanned and sell them for a fund raiser. I gave them 22 coyotes, 50 coons, 12 foxes, 10 beavers, and a half dozen bobcats. After the last NAFA check, I figured I made a good investment, and got a lot more satisfaction.

But you make a good point, most associations can't be trusted. So perhaps the way to do something like this, is individually, and create a network of individuals as opposed to an organization. Think, those little old ladies that crochet blankets for preemies, and send them direct to the hospitals? They each create their own blankets, and send them direct, but they organize into a group for the purpose of recruiting more people willing to donate.

If this comes together I'm in! Angela, I disagree, I believe most state associations are very trustworthy.

This is all well and good, but who is going to put up the money for tanning and manufacture of the garments?
I haven't seen Democrats this mad at Republicans since we ended slavery.

It's often more effective to find a problem then find a solution you all seem to be putting the cart before the horse. You all wanna make mittens first and find freezing kids second lol. I am unaware of what kids need fur coats and as far as this sort of thing goes many 3rd world countries have figured out charity and their corrupt leaders funnel goods through their corrupt channels and make money and do nothing to help the needy. Where I work had a trailer load of shirts and new unworn cloths to donate and no one wanted them every charity said the same thing that they "aren't equipped to handle such donations but if you would like to send money they could accept that"

I had a similar idea years ago, the truth is the logistics would kill it. I was thinking " coats FUR kids". Possibly get some slightly used jackets and sew some trim or pocket flaps etc on. Spread out how many are tanned, but put the fur spin on it. You'd be surprised at the kids in your own community that are less fortunate, that would love a warm furry jacket.
