Businessmen are encouraged to be members of clubs like Rotary, for example, which requires a charitable donation of $500 or more every time you get mentioned in the media. The guy who owns the Buffalo Bills has a food drive at the first game every year, and matches the value of what's donated. One year some wise-acre decided to see if he was serious, and donated $100,000. He matched it. The guy offered to raise it to a half-million the next year, and was told to go right ahead, he'd match that too.
the problem is that most people think that if they take away the incentive to give to charity, the rich wont.
Local gamer conventions have charity auctions as a big event, as well. One year we auctioned off a $5-bill. (Funny story. We'd asked the Girl Scouts for a few boxes of cookies to donate. It was the wrong time of year for that, but they gave us five bucks to donate to our charity of choice. So we auctioned off the bill.. raised $20 for it.
