Innovation - idea: A Better Community For All (ABC4All) focuses on the betterment of citizenry and communities via a give-back model of conducting business in the world: “Maximizing Charitable Contributions on and off the Internet.”™ Support is offered for charitable causes worldwide. ABC4AllWorldSolutions!™ provide opportunities to reach unimagined “Health Heights™.” A healthier water and application of advanced energy technologies bring the potential for humanitarian relief wherever it is needed throughout the world in emergent/non-emergent situations.

Innovation - why it is pioneering: To date, only temporary "matching grants" exist (PBS or elsewhere). The Mission of ABC4All is to create the ABC4All Legacy with permanent matching of charitable contributions into perpetuity, thereby providing a never-ending source of self-funding for nonprofits/NGOs worldwide based on everyday ordinary consumerism. Any transaction not contributing to a worthwhile cause is shortchanging society.

Strategy - how it achieves impact: The technology exists to create this opportunity where none existed before. Starting with the Value Proposition of GreenZap (www.greenzap.com) and adding the Value Proposition of AngelZap (www.angelzap.com) "where every transaction is a donation," and adding The Giving Card (www.thegivingcard.com) the combination creates the ABC4All Triple Giving Program (ABC4AllGGG) http://abc4all.net/abc4allggg.htm This lays the foundation for the matching/doubling program with TEAMs of people, groups, companies participating: T.E.A.M.=To Educate All: Millennium Endowment Fund (MEF) thereby creating the endowment that will fulfill this mission: http://projects.takingitglobal.org/abc4allglobalteam

Strategy - growth plans: The ABC4All Global Team has launched at http://projects.takingitglobal.org/abc4allglobalteam Mentors will be enlisted to teach others what is possible via the ABC4All GlobiVersity(TM): http://ABC4All.net/nm.htm which will carry out the ABC4All Bridge of Relief(TM): http://ABC4All.net/borconcepts.htm and http://ABC4All.net/why.htm

Impact to date: We are in the process of acquiring people from different countries across the globe to make this Mission a reality: Already, for example, we have persons from Ghana, Vietnam and elswehere.

Future impact: There is every hope that the mission can be fufilled during this century.

Sustainability - resource base: Charitable donations are possible for the Foundation of A Better Community For All (FABC), a National Heritage Foundation http://ABC4All.org but SELF-FUNDING is being acquired via the above-described ABC4All Triple Giving Program (ABC4AllGGG) for ABC4All and for all participants.

Major challenge for the field: Education is key. There is a need to establish FREE Education via "EasyLearning" via an online "GlobiVersity" with equal access to all - no cost, no criteria to study, no fees. Just studies that enchant, entertain, heal and educate: http://ABC4All.net/borconcepts.htm and http://ABC4All.net/nm.htm (in development)
