cannot be solved at the same level
of thinking (consciousness) with
which we created them”
-- Albert Einstein
You are invited to help Expand the Circle of Success
for addressing social, economic and environmental
challenges through this project.
We are combining the Principles and Practices of
Community Economic Development (CED) with
the new Benefit Corporation model and the Crowd
Funding provisions of the JOBS Act to help foster
innovation, collaboration, job creation and
sustainable communities.
Establishing a National Network of
CED Benefit Corporations and B Corps
Benefit Corporations are a new class of cause-
oriented corporation that:
(1) creates a material positive impact on society
and the environment;
(2) expands fiduciary duty to require consideration
of non-financial interests when making decisions;
(3) reports on its overall social and environmental
performance using recognized third party
standards.
Benefit Corporations and B Corps

Certified B Corporations are a new type of
corporation which uses the power of business
to solve social and environmental problems.

Corporations. There are over 500 Certified B
Corporations across 60 different industries. B
Corporations are a diverse community with one
unifying goal: to redefine success in business.

Introduction to the Crowd Funding and
Expanding the Circle of Success
Provisions of the JOBS Act
The recently passed JOBS Act creates Crowd
Funding opportunities, eases IPO rules, and will
let businesses advertise and raise equity capital
from non-accredited investors

"Inherently, each one of us has the substance
within to achieve whatever our goals and dreams
define. What is missing from each of us is the
training, education, knowledge and insight to
utilize what we already have.”
– Mark Twain

This Is Only the Tip of the Iceberg!
In fact, this presentation only covers about 5% of the Strategic
Implementation Matrix™ for Expanding the Circle of Success
by Establishing CED B Corps and CED Resource Centers
The JOBS Act will allow companies to generate
up to a million dollars a year from up to 2,000
investors. Each State could have hundreds of
Community Economic Development companies
being established through Crowd Funding.
What if we help establish two
cause-oriented CED B Corps in every State?
What if we help establish 20 companies in each
state and what if they all generate $1,000,000?
What Are the Ultimate Possibilities?
The founding organizations have developed
a Strategic Marketecture™ and a plan for
distributing 100 million dollars worth of
development training programs over the
next 10 years to and through the network
of CED Community Resource Centers.
That includes the donation of 1,000 ETMS
(Empowerment Training Mentoring Systems)
valued at $10,000 each for a total of $10,000,000.
