Mission: THE PROUD MISSION STATEMENT
“To solve world-class problems affecting a billion people or more through the empowerment of the masses. ”
OK, there it is. A one-sentence statement that meets the standard people expect when they want you to sum up in one sentence all that you are. The problem is, we are nothing like anyone else, or any other organization. So, since we gave you what you expected, now we’ll share who and what we are in the only way that we know will state it more thoroughly. We see our mission as combining the power of people with the power of successful ideas made possible from the experiences of those that have realized the most success humans have ever known… to accomplish goals so large no one ever thought possible. “Combining the power of people. ” As you’ll see from reading our philosophy on another page, we understand that in order to solve large problems that affect societies, it takes more than one idea or one person. For one example, it takes 50 million like-minded people to elect a President of the United States. That teaches us that one vote is not enough. But 50 million, it’s done. So, our FIRST mission is to create an environment that empowers the individual. How do we do that? By helping them realize their dream, and most people’s dreams are made possible through funding.
