I have a not-for-profit organization (www.overflowingwellministries.org) that reaches out to help women, children, and their families. We need help from companies and need them to donate their goods and/or services to help us with this fight. We need all types of items…if you name it we could probably use it! Does anyone know of any major companies that donate, what they require, and how you apply for donations?

The big corporations say they are loosing millions of dollars because of piracy?
Do they deserve this?
I think yes they do. Corporations like Microsoft, Apple are very greedy and they try to restrict your rights of the products you buy from them, for example they use DRM on music and videos.
And although piracy is thriving on the net they still have allot of profit.
At least Apple has the right to be greedy, they have high quality products.
e.g.: iPod
There may be a possibility that “Big oil” and the auto industry have committed the largest case of fraud the world has ever seen, larger than anything the American public has ever experienced before. Possible investigative research may prove that both industries own stock in each other. Rent the documentary movie “Who Killed the Electric Car?” at your local video store. Just what if the American public could save billions a year rather than put their hard earned money in an exec’s pocket? What if?
good business

Where it says “social values & dutys”, please sub “social & cultural values and duties to contribute to family and community cohesion.” I include religions as an important and necessary aspect of culture. TWH 08172006
I appreciate that the first two answerers have not jumped me for the way I put the Q which was intended to draw out sharply the issue of personal and corporate social responsibilities which conflicts with the maxim “maximize profits.”
Only 2 Answers to chose from, one saying that the Canadian alternative where regulations & are imposing social values & dutys & high taxes are funding them are limiting how much a company grows & how rich one can become, and one acknowledging that the problem exists & in need of a solution. Neither answers the morality of companies behaving without recognizing the needs of the social environment that birthed them & sustains them. I was hoping someone would say no megafirm, like no individual has the moral right to act irresponsibly knowingly doing harm to anyone for profit–examples are Bhopal Union Carbide chemical plant location & operating negligence resulting in the death of 20,000+ & the injury of a 100,000 more people, Exxon Valdez captained by an alcoholic, a well known problem in the oil shipping industry, BP’s revelation of collection pipeline corrosion undetected by failure to follow safety protocols & its Texas City plant explosion which killed 15 & injured 100.
