We are a hybrid charity that raises money for schools and education nonprofits using our revenue-generating, multipurpose storytelling tool. Most charities request donations but do very little for their sponsors/ members. We are different because we provide optional storytelling; we have only one level of giving and two separate components, and we do not produce, sell, or send out merchandise. Instead, we offer our members multiple opportunities to benefit themselves and their families when they make their charitable gifts.
This past year, we have received grass-roots support and direction in Howard County. We modified our Americans All program to meet each entity's needs and concerns and determined the most efficient and effective implementation. These include the Office of Purchasing, Economic Development Authority, School Partnership Office, Historical Society, Community Service Partnership, Office of the Local Children’s Board and Library System, and the HCPSS Community, Parent, and School Outreach Division.
We have operationally modified the business model created by CVS. In their “CarePass” program, CVS membership is $4 monthly (if paid annually) without a trial period. In addition to other benefits, their members receive a $10 CarePass reward that can be used to pay for many items in-store or online. Pay $4 each month and get back $10 each month. A financially sound, risk-free reason to participate with them! To improve their model, we offer a trial period and a much larger base of businesses to get discounts.
We are still waiting for responses from several individuals and organizations that are key to our implementation.
Howard County Cities and their populations.
