21st CENTURY FUNDING.
We are in the infancy stages of chartering our Non-profit. Our tax-exempt status is in the examination stage, although our mission is still functionable (if you are a retail business, we can create your contribution via a business method that is patent pending).
21st CENTURY CORPORATE CONTRIBUTING
... This unique method can functionally divert funds from your accounts payable, create a contribution from those funds, and may allow your company to contribute a tax deductible contribution which will flow through us and to your chosen charity...all with no cost at all to your business...that's right $0.00 cost.
Watch this space as we update the progress of our nonprofit, tax-exempt status as it changes...and please contact us with any questions that you may have, and do not be surprised if you hear a real person answer the call. Just ask about "The FUND" ..Thank you..

Donor Bill of Rights
PHILANTHROPY is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To assure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the not-for-profit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have these rights:
1. To be informed of the organization´s mission, of the way the organization intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.
2. To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization´s governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgement in its stewardship responsibilities.
3. To have access to the organization´s most recent financial statements.
4. To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
5. To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition.
6. To be assured that information about their donations is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
7. To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature.
8. To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization or hired solicitors.
9. To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization may intend to share.
10. To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers.

LUNAR is good...
This is what we are....
..."The laws of accumulation should be left free; the laws of distribution free. Individualism will continue. But the millionaire will be but a trustee for the poor; entrusted for a season with a part of the increased wealth of the community, but administering it for the community far better than it did, or would have done, of itself....Yet the day is not far distant when the man who dies, leaving behind him millions of available wealth, which was free for him to administer during life, will pass away “unwept, unhonored, and unsung,” no matter to what use he leaves the dross which he cannot take with him. Of such as these, the public verdict will then be: the man who dies thus rich, dies disgraced. Such in my opinion is the true gospel concerning wealth, obedience to which is destined someday to solve the problems of the rich and the poor, to hasten the coming brotherhood of man, and at last to make our earth a heaven.".......Dale Carnagie 1889
OUR MISSION is a two-fold evolutionary direction.
...............................................
Firstly; to seek out and empower Social Entrepreneurs throughout America while providing them with the resources necessary to promote their practical approaches to their missions, which create positive changes for the benefit of society in general.
Secondly; to continually assist the nonprofit community by implementing an innovative method of “passive” self-sufficiency creating a level of sustainability which allows the non-profit to focus primarily on their missions of purpose and not their financial resources.
What is Social Entrepreneurship?
so' cial en tre pre neur':
n., 1. society's change agent: pioneer of innovations that benefit humanity.
SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS:
* about applying practical, innovative and sustainable approaches to benefit society in general, with an emphasis on those who are marginalized and poor.
* a term that captures a unique approach to economic and social problems, an approach that cuts across sectors and disciplines.
* grounded in certain values and processes that are common to each social entrepreneur, independent of whether his/ her area of focus has been education, health, welfare reform, human rights, workers' rights, environment, economic development, agriculture, etc., or whether the organizations they set up are non-profit or for-profit entities.
It is this approach that sets the social entrepreneur apart from the rest of the crowd of well-meaning people and organizations who dedicate their lives to social improvement.
WHAT IS A SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR?
* A pragmatic visionary who achieves large scale, systemic and sustainable social change through a new invention, a different approach, a more rigorous application of known technologies or strategies, or a combination of these.
* Combines the characteristics represented by Richard Branson and Mother Teresa.
SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS SHARE SOME COMMON TRAITS INCLUDING:
* an unwavering belief in the innate capacity of all people to contribute meaningfully to economic and social development
* a driving passion to make that happen.
* a practical but innovative stance to a social problem, often using market principles and forces, coupled with dogged determination, that allows them to break away from constraints imposed by ideology or field of discipline, and pushes them to take risks that others wouldn't dare.
* a zeal to measure and monitor their impact. Entrepreneurs have high standards, particularly in relation to their own organization’s efforts and in response to the communities with which they engage. Data, both quantitative and qualitative, are their key tools, guiding continuous feedback and improvement.
* a healthy impatience. Social entrepreneurs don’t do well in bureaucracies. They cannot sit back and wait for change to happen – they are the change drivers.
