More about our mission model..


Yunus, the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner, founded a banking system 30 years ago to lend small amounts of money to the rural poor in Bangladeshi villages. Most of the low-interest microloans go to women, who use them to start their own profit-making enterprises, mainly in agriculture, crafts, or services.

Grameen Bank now has 2,422 branches, employs more than 20,000 people, and has loaned more than $6 billion since its founding. Borrowers own most of the equity in the bank. The company has been profitable in all but three years since it was founded.

Yunus imagined what would happen if a bank extended credit to those people who would never traditionally receive it. In the process, he created a system that empowered the poor by helping them become entrepreneurs.

Patent Pending

We are proud to announce that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued our Patent Pending number for our NORMAC process! We have came a long way since our concept was a mere thought back in 2004. As the founder, I wish to thank God for his guidance and blessings and also to all who have assisted my efforts and contributing in getting to this point. We now may begin our mission, our vision. We are searching for a qualified sponsor to help us get NORMAC up and running throughout America...

Conference Call - UPDATE

______________________________________________________________________
Well, the call went well. We were great on conversation....but lacked a bit on the discussion...Those of you who were on the call, it was great talking with you and to those who missed the call, I accept any Dr.'s excuse...


We will reschedule, in fact, at least 6-12 weeks of refocusing needs to be accomplished before the next call will need to be scheduled.

do feel free to CALL ME ANYTIME to discuss our progress or exchange a view.
I shall email status to you during this period.
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
The first A/V conference call for principals of the
FUND of America Inc is scheduled for Tuesday - February 27 - 5:30pm CST.


Our focus will be organization, distribution, direction, and vision of
NORMAC.

There will be open discussion on opinions of Social Entrepreneurship.

I wish to thank God for our abilities and our sense of human spirit. I want to also thank everyone on this call for wanting to share in a vision of creating something new.

the FUND of America will become widely known as the right thing to do.

I want to say that I am humbled by what is before us. As the concept unfolds, I am realizing a possibility of the true impact upon the EFT method of retail payments. I truly feel that we can have a significant impact upon socially conscious corporate America. When first conceived, the concept was simply to create a fund that would be available to fill in the gaps of services available by and through large orgs like the Red Cross, United Way, FEMA, and others. We realize that those efforts even fall short of the need in time of disaster. As we are in the process of refocusing our direction, we see other beneficial aspects of certain applications of our services.

Now, I see that the metamorphosis of the FUND of America Inc is in the cocoon stage…we have been wriggling around for awhile looking around, now we are resting, growing, awaiting our decision on what image to unveil when we emerge from this cocoon. Butterflies we will not be, I assure you. The FUND will gain strong support as its benefits become known. This should occur within the first 6 months, then we know that we have WOWed them...... and they will want the FUND forever....!

Muhammad Yunus- 2006 Nobel Peace Prize


Muhammad Yunus delivered his Nobel Lecture, listen or read text, on 10 December 2006 at the Oslo City Hall, Norway. He was introduced by Professor Ole Danbolt Mjøs, Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Professor Yunus begins his Nobel Lecture with a few words in Bangla.
Here is a link to the Grameen Group, they have done some amazing work in the past 3 decades by the grace of God.
Muhammad Yunus achieved his PH.D in economics in 1969 at Vanderbilt University in Nashville and taught Economics at Middle Tennessee State University until 1972 before going back to his home in Bangladesh.
The FUND of America is honored to be missioned to help spread this concept in America. America's social entrepreneurs have the ability to relieve many of the burdens that seem to be difficult for our government to address. By doing so, the day may come soon when we have true statesmen leading our country, and true citizens leading our people, both through accountability.

The Safe Side...social entrepreneur

A MESSAGE FROM JULIE
I'm a mom. I'm a former teacher. I'm an entrepreneur.

In 1997, based on what I wanted for my own child, I made a little video called Baby Einstein. And I will tell you that no one was more surprised than me that five years and 10 videos later, The Baby Einstein Company was a multi-million-dollar enterprise and I would go on to sell to The Walt Disney Company. And two years later, no one was more surprised than my husband when I said I wanted to start all over again with a new idea – and a new company. ....HERE IS HER WEBSITE AND MISSION

A Memorial to a True Social Entrepreneur


Rick Rescorla is a true Social Entrepreneur in the purest sense. A Medaled VietNam veteran, he chose to consistently persevere to train the employees of Morgan-Stanley/Dean-Witter in evacuations procedures that literally saved thousands of lives on 9/11 in the World Trade Center. Rick realized that after the bombing of WTC in 1993 there would be another attempt at destruction of the icon of America. He spent the next 8 years selflessly and consistently laying out and following a plan that led to many lives being saved. His wife has started a Foundation in his name, not only memorializing him, but also what he stood for. Rick sacrificed his own life so that others could live. Please take some time to read and understand his place in history as a Social Entrepreneur, and also "The Man Who Predicted 9/11" .
