I am moonshine.

We started third ear some time ago (yes people in the real world) as our first non profit movement and achieved a constant success. For those who don't know third ear started as 12 psy trance get togethers, happening a month apart at the full moon.
Recently we started 
Here is how I formulate our charitable operations.
1: Be patient.
Work on one thing at a time and always give people your time, even if all this stuff you're now doing is making very very busy. This is crucial when you start getting successful, don't stop giving everyone your time, the work is never done. The people who get involved will love and respect you for it and put in their own effort.
2: Be nice.
Be nice to everyone, if you can't be nice, stop what you're doing until you can. You should not use charitable work to spread bad emotion.
3: Figure out how to take away all the cost.
Beg, borrow, ask, since you're doing it on behalf of a good cause you should put aside your feelings and go ahead and get help where you can, then once you have done that take the cost of what you're doing and find out how to get rid of it, you will start without funds one way or another, and if you start without funds successfully you can run with funds too. Then get creative, and brainstorm 'out of the box ways' to get rid of the cost. We've replaced party decor with bananas hanging on strings, and invented edible decor, we've found ways for people to fund their own charity, we've found many many cost saving routes thus far, there's always a new angle to look at, but finally: the big way to get rid of cost is:
4: Work your ass off
Nobody is going to roll the ball for you when you're getting started, if you believe what you are doing will help everyone, don't give up until it does. You need to work your ass off, mostly alone, to get your project off the ground, people will help, don't give everything over when people start helping, keep pouring in your personal effort. Effort can defray the cost of things, if something is more effort but less costly, it will bring you closer to your goal before the capital is there to defray cost and compensate non voluntary labor. Which ironically voluntary labor arrives when you can afford non voluntary labor, so when you start, its up to you! get out there and work your ass off!
5: Then delegate
You can not do everything yourself, and once you are working your ass off, you need to give work over to people, do not put work aside if you can at all delegate it, even if someone would do worse at it, always delegate where you can.
