Goal:  to become the national non-profit of choice for donors seeking to mobilize volunteers

View the Five Stages of the Non-Profit Life Cycle

Mission Statement: we mobilize volunteers into community service using donor designated funds

we unleash the American can-do-spirit to solve local problems with local people and local dollars

Core Objectives:

• to give every donor the power to direct how and where their charitable assets are used
• to mobilize volunteers with funding and proven strategies of compassion
• to educate the volunteer industry through a database of community projects reviewed by donors and participants
• to enable corporations to build their brand and reputation with their community and customers

Broad Goals:

• to cultivate local donors who fund local projects which get accomplished by local volunteers
• to transform community service in America into a transparent industry
• to improve the social welfare by advancing community programs that cultivate self-reliance
• to infuse the political dialogue of volunteerism with conservative American ideals of limited government, personal responsibility, and compassion without creating codependency
• to showcase successful community service projects which are effective and sustainable
• to further fulfill President George W. Bush’s call for a new culture of responsibility
• to direct thankfulness away from the government and back toward local donors and local volunteers

Methods:

we solicit donors to initiate local community service through designated capital

• the donor can choose specify target zip codes for implementation
• the donor can suggest a volunteer group willing to do the project
• the donor receives a complimentary book of pictures showcasing the volunteers doing the work to memorialize the impact of the donor’s vision
• the donor can fully fund a project or give seed money from which we build a community service grant

we inspire volunteers to participate with effective programs, financial backing and the vision of the donor

• we telephone community organizations, churches, civic groups and schools to solicit volunteers
• we communicate the vision and the steps for successful implementation
• we supplement or fully cover the expenses of the volunteers as they do the project
• we collect photographs of the volunteers doing the project and memorialize the work in a coffee table style book that anyone can purchase

we will maintain a database of proven strategies that will be accessible on our website

• we will provide within this database an opportunity for each volunteer and each donor to review the effectiveness of the project in which they participated
• we will help identify the projects which earn the highest reviews so that other groups will have a road map for success.
