It's true that it's not enough to come up with an idea that would cure the problem that these people claim they want to fix. The latest mind numbingly exercise I've engaged in was filling out about 99 pages of details for the Skoll Foundation only to get to the last page of their online application to find that I have to have 30 to 50 employees and have made profits in the last three years before they would consider me and my idea worthy of consideration. Wouldn't you think they might have mentioned that first? And why would any group making a profit need help? <BR/><BR/>So after years of trying to offer my assistance to people that were claiming they were in the business of trying to help others where specifically I could help them I gave up on them. <BR/><BR/>Based on what's wrong with charities, philanthropies, foundations etc I designed what I hope to be a non-profit that does cross that threshold you are talking about. <BR/><BR/>If you will, Let me know what you think and if you feel the project <BR/>deserves support please help. <BR/><BR/>As far as anyone willing to work there way out of poverty my home and cell phone number is on the contact page. I have no forms to fill out or things to buy there.<BR/><BR/>Tom Canavan<BR/>The Benefactor Project at, www.thebenefactorproject.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
