No, it is not illegal. It is only illegal if you suggest that contributions 
to your non-IRS approved charity is a tax deductible contribution. The only 
crime would be fraud regarding tax advice and aiding in the fraudulent 
reporting of tax deductions.

Hence, anyone can beg for money. It is up to the donor to determine whether 
this is a worthy and appropriate charity, or a donation to a deserving 
non-charitable institution, or simply throwing money away. BTW, I will work 
for food or money, but money is preferred.
