A Better Community For All (ABC4All)

Country: United States

Organization: A Better Community For All (ABC4All)

Idea: "Maximizing Charitable Contributions on and off the Internet"ý . This basic "give-back" model of conducting business in the world is described as the New Millennium Business Model (NMBM). As such it offer a way to ensure that ALL consumer activity contains a charitable contribution micropayment going to the consumer's charity of choice. When endowed, ABC4All will match or double the contribution via the future ABC4All Millennium Endowment Fund (MEF).

How do you do it: The "nuts and bolts" of the ABC4All Triple Giving Program (ABC4AllGGG) are recorded here: http://ABC4All.net/nutsbolts.htm and here http://ABC4All.net/abc4allggg.htm

Innovation: Creating a method via The Giving Card (http://thegivingcard.com) that ensures every existing credit/debit card transaction contains a charitable micropayment that is sent, automatically, to the consumer's charity of choice. The Giving Card has already been endorsed by the Vatican.

Burton Danet, Ph.D., Co-Founder

Impact: By instilling the give-back New Millennium Business Model young people grow up knowing that everyone in society is working together to support worthwhile causes worldwide.

Ethical Action: 2000 people support one cause. Each makes purchases that contain a 10% rebate or discount that goes back to the individuals. They all assign the discount/rebate to the cause of choice. At the end of the year, $250 is collected by each x 2000 = $500,000. ABC4All, when endowed, doubles the amount resulting in $1 million charitable contribution in one year. This example demonstrates what is possible and can be a very low estimate of what actually can happen when everyone cooperates with this business model.

Replication: All the technology for this method of doing business in the world presently exists. It is a matter of educating others how to do it.

Sustainability: Once in place, this method will become an ABC4All Legacy into perpetuity, will continue into infinity future.

Position in the Ethics Mosaic of Solutions:
Factor: Individualism
Principle: Developing self-awareness and interconnectedness
