I also think that this is just fair.
As for why we have been turned down. So far I have focused in the arena of Women's Empowerment. This works for us as our content is 100% female produced, we only shoot girl/girl and solo girl and our CEO is female. We are a very female friendly company.
Organizations that fight Female Genital Mutilation have turned us down because they work mostly in Islamic countries. Working with us is liability.
Orgs that fight Sex Trafficking refuse to believe that we aren't doing the same. So fucking stupid.
Orgs that fight domestic violence believe that we objectify women (not totally untrue) and we are essentially part of the problem. (totally untrue)
I haven't focused too much on orgs that support Female Sexual Health as they usually support abortion and while I am 100% pro-choice, I can't fight on the adult front with the org and the pro-choice front with my customers.
Any input helps. I have tons of lists, but I really need connections and examples of Adult $$$ to Non-profit success stories. Adult $$$ to Non-profits.

In that case, no matter what you do, you'll encounter difficulty. Someone will send a link and a board member will send around an angry email, and the person responsible for accepting the donation will be fired. Additionally, if that charity applies for foundation money, or federal or state money, that can be used against them.
I would advocate working with someone in adult who had a foundation or a charity. It isn't hard to found one, or find a charity. They are easy to create (though it takes 18 months to receive a 501 c3 designation).
