-- 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.

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.

Funding opportunities, eases IPO rules, and will

let businesses advertise and raise equity capital

from non-accredited investors

within to achieve whatever our goals and dreams

define. What is missing from each of us is the

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

Page 28: Expanding the Circle of Success by Establishing a Network of Community Resource Centers Based on the Benefit Corporation model, Crowd Funding and Community Economic Development

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?

Page 29: Expanding the Circle of Success by Establishing a Network of Community Resource Centers Based on the Benefit Corporation model, Crowd Funding and Community Economic Development

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.

we decided to experiment with a 400

year plan based on the following quote:

Many Asians Have 50 -100 Year Plans

“The acquisition of wealth is no longer

the driving force in the 24th century.

We work to better ourselves and

better all of humanity.”
