Welcome as this is your first post on the forum since you registered 10 YEARS ago.

Very thoughtful, but actually, if your planning on raising $100K "for the Vets" the first step would be to find a lawyer to set up the charity. Maybe you already have done that step but it wasn't mentioned in you first post,

Not sure anyone would want to be involved in setting up a website and collecting money from the public through a website as a charity without being 100% sure everything is 100% on the up and up and registered with the state etc. No reflection directly on you but there are lots of scam websites collecting $$$ for "good causes."

The website should be one of the last steps. Personally I wouldn't give more than a dollar or two to any "cause" unless it can be proven it's legal.
