Funding Individual Nonprofits

The following illustration is based on the premise that people of goodwill will join together to help the community. Nonprofits will have to recognize that the solutions to social problems are as varied as the problems and suspend the understandable tendency to exercise the power that natually goes with size and established territory.

Here is a fictional illustration of how dollars are brought into a Volunteer Corps member's affiliate-organization:

Every participating entity must agree to donate, on a rotating basis (3 month intervals) at least one adult and two youths for a minimum 5hr/week commitment each.

Suppose we start with twenty-five entities.

All dollars generated by the volunteers will be distributed as follows:
20% of net profits distributed evenly among the twenty-five entities
80% of net profits distributed according to the number of volunteers

Suppose the twenty-five entities contribute to the volunteer corps as follows:

7 entities contribute 3 people = 21 total divided 14 youth 7 adults
10 contribute 16 people = 160 total divided 150 youth 10 adults
2 contribute 100 people = 200 total divided 155 youth 45 adults
3 contribute 4 people = 12 total divided 9 youth 3 adults
3 contribute 60 people = 180 total divided 177 youth 3 adults
Total volunteers for the VC = 573 divided 505 youth 68 adults

The following illustration will demonstrate that it is possible for participants to receive monthly stipends (perhaps less in the beginning but much more as the programs become established) from the efforts of dedicated volunteers having fun, as follows:

The seven smallest entities that contributed 3 volunteers each would receive $1,834/mos
The ten entities that contributed 16 volunteers each would receive $4,980/mos
The two entities that contributed 100 volunteers each would both receive $25,308/mos
The three entities that contributed 4 volunteers each would receive $2,076/mos
The three entities that contributed 60 volunteers each would receive $15,628 /mos.
