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).

I have been approaching directors and asking for board approval from the start, however the effect is the same. No. Another option I might try is to go for a local women's shelter in a liberal strong hold, SF or Portland. A place where the amount of money I will contribute has more power to mitigate the PR issue.
