Finders fees, kick-backs, commissions—whatever they are called—they are nothing new. The Volunteer Corps would act as a clearing house for services and take a percentage as commission which would be divided a small percentage to sustain the VC coordination and fundraising efforts and the rest to go to fund the programs operated by the Volunteer Corps members' (VCM) home-based entity.

VCMs would develop salesmanship skills by soliciting businesses such as restaurants, beauty shops, specialty shops, cleaners, attorneys, counselors and so on as well as the general public—the potential clients. If VCMs were not able to bring new clients to these businesses, they would not earn commissions. Time and effort is at risk. This is a powerful lesson in cause and effect and brings home ideas often missing from social transactions today: that acts have consequences— pay is given for value received—trade is the basis of all economic success—there must be value given for value received.

VCMs might sell wholesale tickets for sports & entertainment events at retail prices or even at prices openly marked up for a good cause. All sorts of legitimate memberships, and subscriptions might be sold on commission. Cards displaying the Another Way logo or the logo of the local Volunteer Corps might be distributed with the names of merchants who agree to offer discounts to the holders of Volunteer Corps discount cards.
