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.
