[HF-discuss] Involving the grass routes in supporting the Foundation

[Carlton Mills]

Good afternoon,      You could provide an ability for starving students, retirees, and ordinary peoples to contribute to the Foundation. What is needed for an individual to go to a web site and arrange for $5.00/month to be taken out of her checking account.     Hopefully a large number will join; this would give the Foundation a lot of credibility.


  Administratively one would need a 401(c) entity in the US so we could deduct our contributions.

  You could say all these contributions will go directly to increasing the Foundation’s endowment or to paid research/documentation/… 

    Use the contributions from big entities to pay for administration. That way individuals can feel that their money is being used productively. (I am told that the Red Cross does this for disaster relief: 100% of the contributions for a specific disaster go towards the victims -nothing to overhead.
  It would be nice if there was a huge flood of cash from the base.

Thank  you for your attention,-Carlton Mills, Urbana, IL
