THE PLAN
We build eight geodesic domes as our church, campus and research center.
Our concentration is on joy and peace based on research 
that tells us what we need to do to live a longer, healthier, happier and 
a more prosperous lifestyle...  to any age we choose.

We publish completed research on our Virtual Campus on the Internet.

We will generate money by appealing to the generosity
of individuals and corporations through memberships, grants, donations
and tuition for education, in the area of personal, business and lifestyle
advancements supported by our continuing research and application of our
findings, through our 501 (c) (3) public-membership,
non-profit, tax-exempt institute ministries, founded in 1966.

Our goal is to allow everyone the opportunity to have joy and peace while living a
longer, healthier, happier and more prosperous lifestyle...
to any age they choose.

Our first priority is to secure a grant for one hundred thousand dollars ( $100,000.00 )

Our second priority is to engage the services of a professional fund raiser.

Our third priority is to acquire the necessary land ( 10 to 12+ acres )
through donation or acquisition.

Our fourth priority is to begin construction of the first dome by 2005.
The second dome by 2007, and the remaining six domes every two years
or less, until completion by 2019.

MARKETING
Our target audience are those that want to live a disease free life,
who are willing to implement the proven research and live to any age they choose.

Our research has directed us to affluent individuals, successful professionals,
small business owners, corporations, coaches and women in business.
Ideal clients being white, female, single ( or single parents ) middle-class.

The Internet will act as our basis for communication along with
radio, television, word of mouth and possibly a quarterly magazine.

BUDGET
Based on a conversation with our dome manufacturer ( April 07, 2001 )
including eight domes, complete inside and out, handi-challenge areas,
all sidewalks, trees and surrounding areas, the approximate cost per dome
is to be one million, seven hundred eighty-four thousand dollars ( $1,784,000.00 )
or a total of fourteen million, two hundred seventy-two thousand dollars
( $14,272,000.00 ) for the entire campus, including parking.

TABLE OF GOALS:

INITIATION PHASE ( PHASE ONE )
Participate and be recognized in various grant funding programs
to raise the initial funds to begin the process. A single grant of One hundred
thousand dollars ( $100,000.00 ) will be used to initiate the funding
for the endowment fund, phase two, by the hiring of a
professional fund raiser.

ENDOWMENT FUND ( PHASE TWO )
This phase will initiate ten million dollars ( $10,000,000.00 ) to be deposited in
trust, to generate this part of the program first, because having this
money drawing interest at ( projected 10% ) per annum
will generate one million dollars as a starting point, after the first year,
to initiate phase three, the building phase.

The Endowment Fund is that sum of capital kept intact
by our public-membership, tax-exempt, nonprofit, educational institute in order
to provide dividends, interest, and capital gains to enrich programs,
provide a hedge against inflation and recession, and yield virtually
permanent supplementary income.

The endowment goal is ten million dollars ( $10,000,000.00 )
which will be held in trust. These funds will provide the income to
defray operating expenses and to fund a growing list of special projects.
At 10% it will provide one million dollars per year, operating capital
and funds to start the construction of the first dome.

BUILDING FUND ( PHASE THREE )
This phase requires fifteen million dollars ( $15,000,000.00 )
Once we have our endowment fund in place we will continue to seek
other funding while using the interest drawn at 10% to
initiate this phase.

We will raise this money through our professional fund raiser and
by offering a donation plan to name each of the domes, a variety of walls
throughout the campus, classrooms, lecture halls, conference rooms, library
and research areas after the families of our benefactors.

OPERATING FUND ( PHASE FOUR )
We plan to keep our operating fund at one million dollars per annum
( $1,000,000.00 )
Once we have our building phase funding completed, we can redirect
the endowment fund interest earned to cover annual operating costs.

Individual programs will be offered through corporate sponsors
who fund the variety of programs made available to the general public.
This is an on-going, rotating program to allow for a variety
of sponsors and programs.

PATTERNS OF GIVING
Statistics from major universities, hospitals, colleges, and
museums over the past 30 years reveal some surprising, yet predictable
patterns in giving.

Chief among these is the pattern called the Rule of Three. The Rule of Three
indicates that the ten largest contributions to a capital campaign usually
add up to one-third of the total raised.

In our application we've extended the rule of three. We use the Rule of Five,
which means that the ten largest contributions to a capital campaign usually
add up to one-fifth of the total raised.

The funds necessary for phase two - The Endowment Fund of Ten Million
( $10,000,000.00 ) plus The Building Fund of Fifteen Million ( $15,000,000.00 )
gives us a grand total of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ( $25,000,000.00 )
necessary to complete the project.

By applying the Rule of Five to this figure of Twenty-Five Million Dollars
we come up with the following breakdown of donors: 25 million divided by 5
equals 5 million ( 1st 1/5 needed ) 5 million divided by 10 equals
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ( $500,000.00 ) each, for the first ten contributors.

GROUP ONE
Ten people donate Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ( $500,000.00 ) which equals
Five Million Dollars ( $5,000,000.00 ) Again, the Rule of Five indicates
that the largest contributions to a capital campaign usually
add up to one-fifth of the total raised by the first 10 contributors.

GROUP TWO
One Hundred people donate Fifty Thousand Dollars ( $50,000.00 ) which equals
Five Million Dollars ( $5,000,000.00 )

GROUP THREE
One Thousand people donate Five Thousand Dollars ( $5,000.00 ) which equals
Five Million Dollars ( $5,000,000.00 )

GROUP FOUR
Ten Thousand people donate Five Hundred Dollars ( $500.00 ) which equals
Five Million Dollars ( $5,000,000.00 )

GROUP FIVE
One Hundred Thousand people donate Fifty Dollars ( $50.00 ) which equals
Five Million Dollars ( $5,000,000.00 ) or a
GRAND TOTAL of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ( $25,000,000.00 )

Various combinations can be implemented
to achieve faster results, with fewer donors.

EXAMPLE:
Let's say that we are privileged to have people in group five who
donate Fifty Dollars ( $50.00 ) per month for five years.
That's a total per person of Three Thousand Dollars ( $3,000.00 )
over the five year period.

This means that we now only need One Thousand, Six Hundred, Sixty Seven ( 1,667 )
people, instead of the One Hundred Thousand ( 100,000 ) needed, to reach our goal
 in our projection of group five.

This is a sizeable decrease in numbers of people and works to our benefit. Since
we are a public-membership, non-profit, tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) educational institute
we can achieve success in group five by having a total of One Thousand, Six Hundred
Sixty Seven ( 1,667 ) members ( minimum ) who pay Fifty Dollars ($ 50.00 ) monthly
membership for a period of Five Years.

By implementing a graduated membership we can also reduce the number of
people needed to participate in our membership program to achieve our goals
in group five.

A larger gift may be within our donors reach.
The INSTITUTE for RESEARCH and EDUCATION CAPITAL FUND DRIVE
can expect gifts in the form of five-year pledges. Paying one's pledge
over a five year period may make a larger gift surprisingly affordable.

EXAMPLE OF EACH GROUP
GROUP ONE: A ( 10 people ) pledge of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ( $500,000.00 )
comes to only Eight Thousand, Three Hundred, Thirty-Three and Thirty-Three Cents
( $8,333.33 ) per month, although for economy the pledge can be billed
quarterly, or given as one gift, or spread out over five years.

It is TAX-DEDUCTIBLE, of course. ( This includes all five groups )

GROUP TWO: A ( 100 people ) pledge of Fifty Thousand Dollars ( $50,000.00 )
comes to only Eight Hundred, Thirty-Three and Thirty-Three Cents( $833.33 ) per month.

GROUP THREE: A ( 1,000 people ) pledge of Five Thousand Dollars ( $5,000.00 )
comes to only Eight-Three Dollars and Thirty-Three Cents ( $83.33 ) per month.

GROUP FOUR: A ( 10,000 people ) pledge of Five Hundred Dollars ( $500.00 )
comes to only Eight Dollars and Thirty-Three Cents ( $8.33 ) per month.

GROUP FIVE: A ( 100,000 people ) pledge of Fifty Dollars ( $ 50.00 )
comes to only Eighty-Three Cents ( $00.83 ) per month.

Once we receive donations they will immediately be applied to the
appropriate phase. Land acquisition will be finalized and construction
of the first dome will take place in 2005 or sooner.

FINANCING
The proposed financial model for this project is as listed above.

DISTRIBUTION
The channels that will be used to convey our idea are the Internet,
radio, television, video, audio, word of mouth and professional fund-raising.

Other than what has been mentioned above no special equipment
or technology will be needed to make our idea come to life.
It is important to understand that we are open to any
special equipment and / or technology not known to us at this point,
to assist us in making our proposal come to life.
