Executive Summary

There are storms upon our planet wreaking havoc, lack and sorrow. There are struggles, confusions and conflicts. There are dark clouds of oppression and cries from the multitudes in need of our aid.

Storm Warriors International knows there are many in need and believes there are many more who care. It is a not-for-profit foundation generating awareness of those in trouble by telling their stories for all to hear. The stories reveal storms in need of ideas, people in need of help, efforts in need of resources, and all of it in want of relief. Like rocket flares lighting up the night, the stories point the way for all who care to see.

Storm Warriors International helps the compassionate and the courageous focus their thoughts of service, elevate their discussions in search of solutions, stir the many gifts within themselves, and inspire the launching of their lifeboats—that is, their efforts to save.

Storm Warriors International is an empowering foundation that understands, resources and wields the art and power of words, music, vision and storytell-ing as essential catalysts to motivate the masses toward strategic, selfless will to act swiftly and relieve completely.

It serves three types of clients. The first are those caught in the storms—the shipwrecked. These include battered and raped women, orphaned and frightened children, and it includes any individuals, communities or ethnic groups caught in overpowering circumstances robbing them of hope and future. Storm Warriors International helps their cries for rescue to be heard. The second are the existing organizations who are already underway with rescuing efforts but need help to make their stories known. Storm Warriors International helps underwrite and execute the development of effective communication tools for their use. It maximizes their limited resources and contributes its own. The third are the individuals, organizations, communities and nations that yearn for higher purpose, deeper meaning and genuine fulfillment—those longing to contribute in meaningful ways. Storm Warriors International helps seize their attention upon authentic needs for help.

Those who support Storm Warriors International help support the locating and telling of the stories. They give hope to the hopeless and voice to the voiceless. They help inspire a planet that is filled with people eager to know these stories, a people waiting to be inspired, a people desperately looking for the compass heading of their life’s purpose, a people yearning for a direction to launch their personal lifeboats toward. Supporters also benefit themselves as they become inspired by the stories their support helps tell. They may indeed launch forth in their own selfless pursuit to help others, as Storm Warriors are prone to do.

Statement of Purpose

To inspire people all over the world to compassionate, courageous and selfless acts of rescue.

STORM WARRIORS INTERNATIONAL – Calling All Who Are Courageous is a not-for-profit foundation devoted to telling stories - across multiple platforms - that inspire people, organizations, communities and nations to launch their own lifeboats (comprised of gifts, callings and vision) to venture into storms (unsolved, overlooked and/or ignored crises across the planet) in pursuit of rescue and relief.

Storm Warriors International exists to provide help to the helpless; in service to the suffering; in aid of the ailing; and to rescue those shipwrecked by life, nature, ignorance and man.

Statement of Key Objectives

Storm Warriors International inspires the planet to make efforts in the storms of life. It primarily accomplishes this by wielding the creative arts in ways too rarely called upon in the present age—

To awaken in us that which so easily and repeatedly slumbers—the courage to save.

Storm Warriors International pursues 5 key objectives:

1) To find the active storms of our age

2) To artfully craft their stories into authentic and varied forms of powerful telling

3) To make these stories known on a global scale

4) To inspire, encourage and facilitate response

5) To witness and celebrate results, relief and rescue

Section One: The OrganizationDescription of the OrganizationStorm Warriors International was founded in 2009 by author, speaker and producer Jon Nappa. Having worked in motion picture and television for over twenty years, Nappa, an avid reader and collector of nautical books, discovered a non-fiction book published in 1875 entitled, Storm Warriors. It was about rescues that took place in the English Channel. It referenced the inventor of the lifeboat and speculated about what motivated him. Eventually, Nappa wrote a modern historical fiction version merging the authentic rescues with an imagined back-story of what inspired the inventor to risk saving others from the teeth of fierce storms. The modern Storm Warriors novel, published in 2007 by NavPress, asked a larger question: What does it take for any of us to be willing to launch our own lifeboats to rescue those in need?

As Nappa met with readers of the book, he realized that many were inspired to become a modern Storm Warrior, with lifeboats comprised of individual gifts, talents and calling. They had desire to help others who were in as desperate condition as those in the book but caught in storms of different kinds. However, Nappa also recognized the readers had little vision about how to begin.

Nappa determined that people must become informed about real-life storms like poverty, genocide, epidemics and other crises, before they would act. Finding no existing business models supporting a continuous effort to tell such stories, Nappa began to explore how they might be told. He imagined how to encourage, even facilitate, those desiring to become Storm Warriors, to act swiftly and relieve completely.

Nappa shared his ideas with television, motion picture and creative artist colleagues. They lauded his vision for an organization that mobilized the brightest and best media professionals to find the most important stories and tell them across all media platforms.

It became clear that the effort would also prove valuable to existing non-government and not-for-profit organizations that needed help in telling their stories. They were already actively engaged as Storm Warriors but could use all the help they could get. As the vision for Storm Warriors International became more distinct, its value became evident.

Storm Warriors International has a growing stable of talented artists capable of telling the most compelling stories that inspire others to action. It also has a growing roster of members who long to be Storm Warriors and who actively seek out the stories of the greatest needs on the planet today, learn about how to plug into existing efforts and, when necessary, formulate plans to start original efforts where none exist, or offer ideas for improvement where results have been wanting.

This document unfolds the details, plans, purposes and people behind Storm Warriors International.

Services, Programs & ProductsSWI provides communication support and expertise in the form of media tools and consultation. It also provides access to individuals and groups who have expressed interest in helping support global aid, rescue and relief. Understanding that clients are those who directly benefit from the products and services of SWI, there are three types of primary clients:

1) Everyone who is caught in the midst of a storm of life that only a collective effort can relieve.

2) Those searching for opportunities to help, give, aid and rescue.

3) Non-government and not-for-profit organizations already active in providing relief but needing help in getting their message out.

SWI offers the following services, programs and products to these clients:

Service: Focus & SpotlightBeing stranded or overwhelmed by violence, ignorance, accident or intention is a frightening experience for anyone to endure. During such experiences even yelling for help might seem impossible to do or impossible to be heard. SWI is actively engaged in seeking out and finding storms of distress across the planet. Once found and understood, SWI works intentionally to tell the story straight and clear and as loudly and broadly as possible, in order that others will become informed, inspired and engaged in making rescue. In this way, SWI helps focus global awareness by creatively and engagingly spotlight-ing areas of critical need, thereby giving voice to the voiceless and help for the helpless.

Product: No-Cost, Low-Cost or Lower-CostCommunication Tools

SWI researches and then shares true stories of desperate needs around the globe for the purpose of inspiring actions of aid and relief.

The stories may be of situations presently unaided and in need of expression or they may be of situations already being serviced by one or more non-government or not-for-profit organizations.

The stories may be as simple as well-told articles emailed to SWI membership or as complex as multiple-platform-media campaigns that include television, motion picture, print, internet and merchandise campaigns.

Initially, SWI will focus on electronically mailed articles to its growing membership. The beginning slate of stories will be about critical needs already being serviced by one or more existing organizations. These stories will be made available to such organizations (if desired) in the form of tools they may use in their own name and efforts. Their research and experience will often be the primary source of such stories.

4

Article writing and story crafting will usually be made available to existing organizations on a no-cost basis or for minimal cost such as food and lodging if applicable. As a particular story telling effort becomes more sophisticated, such organizations may request SWI services on a low-cost or lower-cost basis if desired. In the cases where low-cost or lower-cost services are utilized, SWI provides various levels of underwriting and the contribution of in-kind services. The SWI stable of creative artists have agreed to provide multiple services at prices available only to stories meeting the SWI criteria (global crises in need of help).

Service: Focused Forums

SWI members will have free access to stories of crises around the world and be encouraged to participate in online forums designed to facilitate analysis, proactive ideas, proposed solutions and possible strategies aimed at rescue and relief. Initially, SWI will provide links to the forums in the body of each article sent to its membership. These forums will contain introductions and links to organizations already addressing such issues and in need of help. Ideas and strategies deemed helpful will be passed on to appropriate organizations.

SWI will also solicit testimony from Storm Warrior members who have since become actively engaged in either a pre-existing organization or newly formed effort to provide rescue and relief as a result of what they discovered through SWI stories and forums. These stories will serve to inspire those still contemplating whether or not to take action.

Service: No-Cost Potential Customer Leads

SWI provides inspiration for all who seek higher purpose, clearer vision, deeper meaning and genuine fulfillment. Of course, there are many noble roles available for people to help and serve others. There are the roles of foster parent, big brother or big sister, guardian angel or other similar opportunities. Each of these roles is valuable but sometimes the familiar or the more narrowly defined can unintentionally exclude the interest of some, even many. Therefore, the branding and image building of Storm Warriors is deliberately broad and inspiring in order to cast as wide a net as possible to attract a larger percentage of people in search of more meaningful living and purposeful contribution.

Everyone wants to be a Storm Warrior and everyone can be. Because membership in SWI is free and includes regularly sent, well-told articles of those in need, SWI anticipates a large and rapidly growing roster of interested members who want to know the stories of global storms in order to become informed and aided in their selection of if, where, when and how to get involved. These Storm-Warriors-in-waiting become a valuable resource to existing organizations in need of people, help and ideas. When SWI crafts a story for an organization, the organization not only gets the story to use in its own network, it also receives the benefit of having the story introduced to SWI members.

Product: Additional Products & Merchandise

As the collection of stories grows and the budget to tell them in exceptional form increases, SWI will underwrite various forms of media, which will be of valuable interest to its membership and the general public. In all cases where products are sold, whether through direct distribution channels of SWI or through traditional outlets, 100% of all profits will be contributed to SWI and its ongoing efforts.

These inspirational products will manifest as books, music, motion picture and more. Therefore, it is anticipated that the time will come for SWI to implement certain economies for volume media production and distribution. Eventually, SWI will grow to include:

Storm Warriors Press – Traditional & On-Demand Publishing

SWI will develop traditional book and e-book product. There are many possibilities of SWI subjects and titles that will appeal to SWI members and the general public. Stories of desperate needs and successful rescues are inspiring and all the more so when understood to be authentic. SWI will commission such works in the future.

SWI is in process of reacquiring all rights to Nappa’s original novel, Storm Warriors, to be renamed, Into the Storm. SWI has already reacquired the rights to the completed sequel, With Hearts Courageous (formerly, Storm Survivors) from NavPress. These two novels will be republished in both hardcover and paperback editions with additional back matter introducing the mission and opportunities of SWI and under the SWI label. Storm Warriors Studios – Television, Motion Picture & Streaming Productions

SWI will develop its own internet channel where its stories will continuously stream. It will also seek all other forms of distribution including traditional, such as motion picture theaters and television networks. If and when possible, SWI will seek to develop a television series tracking the global storms and the progress made, featuring stories of those rescued and those doing the rescuing.

Storm Warriors Merchandise – Inspirational ItemsThe SWI brand and image is exciting and attracts people to want to be identi-fied as Storm Warriors. Therefore, it is anticipated that certain promotional product provided in appreciation of donations and contributions will become popular. Such items might include apparel and identifying accessories that display the SWI logo and slogan, Calling All Who Are Courageous.

Storm Warriors Intellectual Property – Story CraftingSWI may find some of its stories to be desirable to other not-for-profit or for-profit entertainment and media companies. In such instances, SWI may opt to license the rights of a story for development and distribution, subject to SWI’s strict criteria requiring such licensing to be in furtherance of the organization’s mission and forbidding the exploitation of those in need.

The Marketing PlanSWI markets to clients and customers. Clients directly benefit from the products and services of SWI whereas customers contribute to the operations, projects and mission.

Of course, SWI does not market to those clients who are caught in the storms (the shipwrecked) but it does market to those who are already engaged in helping those in storms (existing non-government or not-for-profit organiza-tions) as well as those wanting to learn how and where they can help (Storm Warriors-in-waiting).

SWI identifies two groups of customers. The first are those who make cash contributions in support of the mission. The second are those who make in-kind contributions for the crafting and telling of the stories.

The marketing segments and strategies are distinguished as follows:

Client: Non-Government or Not-For-Profit OrganizationsNeeding help in telling their stories

There are ever increasing numbers of dedicated non-government and not-for-profit organizations already engaged in helping those in desperate need. In some cases, their areas of involvement and concern are well known and expertly communicated to their customers. In many cases, they are not. SWI seeks to assist the latter in the telling of such stories if/as it is able to do so. In order for such service to be rendered, five things must occur:

1) The organization is aware of SWI’s availability to help.2) The organization requests or invites SWI’s help.3) The organization provides story information.4) The organization provides feedback to SWI’s story crafting.5) The organization chooses whether or not to utilize whatever SWI develops.

Direct Mail/Telephone Follow-Up Offering No-Cost ServiceInitially, these organizations will be introduced to SWI through direct mail and follow-up phone calls. The direct mail pieces will introduce the SWI vision, mission and opportunity. SWI will offer to write a well-told article about a specific storm being addressed by the organization. If the organization chooses to utilize the story within its own network and customer base, it may do so. If the organization approves, SWI will send the story to its own mem-bership and will include internet links and contact information for connec-tion to the originating organization. Additionally, whenever a SWI member posts an idea, suggestion or strategy in service to the storm as presented in the story, such information will be forwarded to the originating organization.

In time, these organizations will be well served by the SWI articles and growing membership involvement. SWI anticipates a time when SWI services will be sought by organizations seeking help with their stories. Eventually, more sophisticated storytelling will be developed in concert with

7

existing organizations. Additionally, SWI will become aware of stories in which no existing organization is currently engaged. The telling of these stories may inspire the formation of new organizations where none existed and these new organizations may continue as clients of SWI.

Client: Those Seeking Inspiration, Information & Opportunity

The creative and excellent use of artistic communication awakens that which so easily and repeatedly slumbers within each of us—that is, the compassion, courage and commitment to act.

Apathy, indifference, ignorance and frustration often combine to demoralize even the most ambitious or inspired. Awareness, inspiration and opportunity are the necessary agents of change. SWI believes that most people have the potential to care enough to make a difference but need help and facilitation to follow through. They want to be inspired, they want to contribute, and they want to be Storm Warriors.

By building and branding the image of what it means to be a Storm Warrior, people will be attracted to enlist.

Email Blasts And MLM-Style BranchingSWI is making the image and action of philanthropy noble, cool, desirable and glorious. By electronically inviting people to invite people to become Storm Warriors by simply signing up to receive free, emailed articles on well-told stories of needs around the planet, SWI anticipates a rapidly increas-ing and large number of Storm Warriors-in-waiting. Men, women and young people of all ages, race and ethnic origin will be responding to one common trigger resident in humankind—the desire to do something valuable and good. Everyone wants to be a Storm Warrior.

As the roster grows, SWI will continually supply its members with well-told stories of increasing sophistication and linking them to existing efforts or inspiring them to build new ones. As the roster grows it becomes increasingly valuable to organizations wanting their stories to be heard by people who care and are prone to contribute, thereby increasing the number of stories being told and inspiring that much more around the globe.

PR Incidental Items & MerchandisingThe SWI logo and slogan are appealing and will be generously distributed as bumper magnets and other items that are easy and inexpensive to manufac-ture and distribute.

Other items such as apparel or mugs will be made available through Direct-Marketing and Licensing. SWI will seek major brand manufacturers to license the logo and to contribute a portion of their profits to SWI ongoing efforts.

Customer: Those Wanting To Help The Stories Get Told

As people enlist for free to become included on the e-mailing list for the well-told stories of storms around the world, many of them will recognize 8

the value of what is transpiring and will desire to support its continued growth and expansion. They will have the opportunity and stimulus to do so through the Direct E-Mail Solicitation that includes easy, online donation access.

The rapidly growing numbers of Storm Warriors-in-waiting have contact information on record and will be periodically solicited by SWI to contribute to the mission.

One-On-One In-Person PresentationsIndividuals and Organizations will be approached with live presentations of the SWI vision, mission and purpose seeking financial contributions of all sizes.

Customer: Creative Artists Of All Disciplines Who Want To Help

SWI’s founder and fellow board members have many professional and personal relationships with expert and even well known artists and media industry professionals who have already expressed interest in providing discounted or contributed skills or services for the telling of stories of storms around the world. Many more continue to express an interest to become a part of the SWI stable of creative professionals who care about the SWI mission and those who are in need of help.

SWI will continue to recruit as many artists into its stable as qualify and whose motives are in line with SWI objectives.

Fundraising Events With Interested CelebritiesSWI will seek to involve celebrities like Carrie Fisher, George Clooney, Miguel Ferrer, Rene Russo, Beverly D’Angelo, Debbie Boone and others to assist with fundraising events.

Other: Grant Applications

As SWI grows and develops a history of success, it will become increasingly attractive to multiple agencies and foundations granting funds to such enter-prises.

Risks & Opportunities

The following are potential roadblocks to SWI fulfilling the vision described herein. They are included in order to empower the organization to make intentional effort to overcome or neutralize any potential barriers to success. The countering strategy is included within each section as listed:

Lack of Not-For-Profit StatusAs of this writing, SWI has not been granted a 501 (c) (3) status and is not eligible for tax-deductible contributions. Therefore, no fundraising efforts will be made until such status is achieved.

Lack of FinancesNo or low finances can hinder any organization’s plans and SWI is not an exception. Until such time that SWI has a minimum operational budget, its activities will be limited. However, SWI is capable of providing quality storytelling services (in the form of internet articles) on a zero-budget, no-cost basis to those organizations who are interested and can provide the necessary background information. SWI is also able to sign up interested Storm Warrior members and electronically email the articles-to-date on a zero-budget, no-cost basis. These minimal services are possible due to the in-kind contribu-tions of the SWI founder.

Lack of Known StoriesUnfamiliarity with and non-exposure to authentic stories from around the world prevents SWI from delivering content of any value in service to the organization’s mission. However, existing non-government and not-for-profit organizations are experienced and familiar with such stories and their provi-sions of research and background materials will inform initial storytelling efforts.

Lack of Exemplary Projects or Track RecordSWI has no sample articles at this juncture and no successful demonstration of directly related prior success to spotlight as evidence of its ability to achieve its goals. However, SWI is able to prove communication and media expertise through indirect samples of prior achievements. Since its services are being offered on a no-cost basis, the risk for an organization to engage SWI to write an article is absent.

Lack of Awareness of the OrganizationAs is true with all start-ups, significant awareness of the organization is almost non-existent. However, as more and more artists become members of its stable, and more and more members sign up for free articles via email blasts and no-cost MLM strategies, and as SWI donates increasing numbers of well-crafted stories to existing organizations, awareness will grow in an economical fashion.

10

Cost of ProductionsSophisticated media projects are costly, even in light of reduced cost commitments from above-the-line and below-the-line creative personnel. Therefore, it will remain an ongoing challenge of the organization to raise sufficient revenues for its most ambitious projects. Fortunately, there are many lower cost alternatives that can be developed in place of more costly solutions when necessary. SWI’s fixed-cost minimal operations strategy allows for such flexibility.

Integrity of ContentCrafting stories of real-life storms affecting distant people of foreign tongues is subject to errors in research, or misunderstanding in interpretation, or flat out mistakes in execution, that could later be found out as inaccurate, exaggerated or untrue. Such discrepancies injure the reputation of the spon-soring organizations and could create backlash in the form of membership withdrawals, funding withdrawals, bad press and even legal complications. Therefore, SWI will seek to filter, screen and test all content for authenticity, provide proper disclaimers and clearly express faithful commitment to rapid acknowledgement and recant of such errors and omissions if and as discovered.

Failed EffortsBecause human activity is central to all SWI activities, it is capable ofsomewhere falling short in its efforts. A story in its final form may not be as inspiring and motivating as intended. A story may appear to be all it was intended to be but fail to generate any significant measure of helpful response. In such instances, disappointment is inevitable. SWI works to minimize such possibilities by continually reviewing the effectiveness of its communication tools. SWI’s eclectic stable of artists and craftsmen helps to provide options for moving forward with new projects.

Operations Plan1. Starting Up - The Creative StableSWI has already begun recruiting a stable of talented artists in all disciplines of creative storytelling, including writers, producers, directors, editors, design-ers, illustrators, actors, actresses, sculptors, composers, etc. Each of these resident artists has specific portfolios revealing areas of specialty, expertise, passion and skill. All of them are committed to the goals and purposes of SWI and have agreed to provide flat rate, work-for-hire services for lower-than-normal fees.

2. Starting Up – Networking with Existing OrganizationsSWI founder, Jon Nappa, is networking with existing organizations to learn where he can contribute initial efforts of telling their stories in the form of online articles to be dispatched to the growing number of SWI membership.

3. Starting Up – Crafting the Initial StoriesInitial online stories are crafted per close interaction with interested organiza-tions and their content experts. These articles are also graphically enhanced in finished form.

4. Starting Up – Recruiting Free MembershipPeople and organizations or groups, become Storm Watchers simply by signing up for free to receive Storm Watcher Reports and Stories. These stories (from Step 2) are initially presented as inspirational and informative articles sent via email. They tell of ongoing storms from around the world involving real people that are in need of help. Initially, all of the featured storms are being addressed in whole or in part by one or more organizations. SWI will begin to offer this free membership after the first slate of articles are written, approved and ready for distribution.

5. Starting Up – Web Site ActivatedSWI is already is advanced discussion with an expert website building company regarding the development and formation of the SWI website and interactive forums for SWI. Once operational, this website allows members to post their ideas and suggestions and/or interest in helping in response to the circulated stories. It also provides links to the existing organizations whose stories have been featured. As Storm Watchers, members become empowered and informed to make personal decisions about if and where and when and how to get involved.

6. Starting Up – FundraisingOnce the 501 (C) (3) status is granted, SWI board members will commence fundraising efforts. These efforts will largely be one-on-one meetings with high net worth individuals and key industry leaders as existing in the current network of relationships and associations of the board members. The vision and plan of SWI will be shared and contributions will be sought.

7. Starting Up – Key Operational RefinementsThe operations plan and board composition will be reviewed for purposesof growth and refinement. Budgets will be formed based on knowledge and experience gained to date.

12

8. Starting Up – Personnel & OperationsCore staffing and operational headquarters will be refined per new budgets and strategies. Staffing will be lean and economical. Administrative, Fundrais-ing, Strategic Relations, Creative Production and Financial Management will comprise the core activities.

9. Underway Activities – Branching DistributionAs the organization develops, the stories of desperate struggles around the world will be told in increasingly sophisticated ways and distributed among various types of media platforms including motion picture, custom books and print publications, traditional broadcast, cable and satellite television networks, online streaming, and assorted mobile technologies. 100% of any revenue generated from the distribution of these authentic stories will be contributed to the ongoing work of Storm Warriors International.

10. Underway Activities – Response FacilitationGlobally interactive and accessible methods will continually be refined in order to most effectively point, direct and otherwise influence the ‘motivated’ to plug-in—either to an existing solution or into the creation of a newly proposed one.

11. Underway Activities – Compilation and UpdateAs the organization fulfills its mandate and multiple objectives, a growing portfolio of stories and active Storm Warriors will result. SWI will publish and pronounce the positive outcomes, the safety of those rescued, and the merits of those responsible. These updates to the SWI history will provide additional content for published and produced material from SWI Press and SWI Studios.

13

In ClosingAll over the planet people are struggling with all manner of problems whether from the influence of nature, ignorance or man. Their stories are needing to be told in the right way, at the right time and in the right places to as many people as possible. The struggles are desperate and in need of solutions, solutions that are found to be near and not far—that is, in the heart of the courageous, compassionate and committed. Storm Warriors International will help tell these stories and will inspire many to answer these key questions: “What do I have in my life that can improve the lives of others?” and, “What does it take for me to give it to them?”

Once people have answers to these questions their replies can change the world forever and for the better.

Storm Warriors International has ambition, vision and a plan to accomplish nothing less.
