Description:
Ten Local Charities : TLC is an endeavor to raise $1,000,000 in a metropolitan market (Philadelphia is our first market) per year to be divided between 10 local charities in that market.
How would this be accomplished?
TLC has an “out of the box” idea to raising money for charity. Usually, non profit organizations (NPOs) ask people to simply GIVE money. NPOs depend on the generous nature of humanity to survive. TLC has come up with a way that people can be SELFISH AND GIVING at the same time!! Our program enables us to raise money while actually helping people to SAVE MORE money than they give – which is especially valuable in the current economical crunch.
There is a key product on which the company will be founded, and offshoot products/services that will exist by year three.
We expect to be cash positive within 6 months, and have 10 markets up and running by the end of year five.
