My friend and I have started an organization called Ride Against Cancer. On bicycles, we travel to different parts of the country while interacting with and encouraging people to help support the battle against cancer by donating to the American Cancer Society.

Currently, we're stuck on determining exactly HOW we can raise money more effectively. Right now our site basically contains a link that redirects you to the American Cancer Society donations page.

Do you have any better ideas on how we can help?

Our site is:

Thanks, 10 points to the best answer.

If you're not incorporated in your home state, approved as tax-exempt by the IRS, and licensed to solicit donations by your state, you are NOT a nonprofit and you are a private, profit-making business.

And you have to pay taxes on every bit of that income.

And it is illegal to solicit funds from the public without a state license.
