Abstract

We are developing a hybrid for-profit/non-profit organization. The non-profit entity will focus on delivering charitable programming to the world community, and the for-profit entity will generate profits and donate them back to the non-profit in order to further the mission of the overall organization.

This is a development roadmap for the next 6-12 months, and we are soliciting review of this plan from advisers. Our priorities are to develop a lean organization - minimizing administration costs and overhead and maximizing the funding that is delivered to our programs.
