4. Goals and Vision
 Connect people around the world to improve
existing services and response to events
 Establish networks of volunteers worldwide that
want to create positive change
 Reduce poverty and homelessness through
personal investment, education, and assistance
 Increase international communication and
philanthropy
 Create advocacy worldwide for all populations
 Springboard people that either want to give or
receive help to different areas or causes

5. D0UGH-N8
 A charity app that allows users to be notified when disasters or events
occur and lets them donate using Venmo, PayPal, debit card, bank
account, or crypto currency
 Users can select filters that are categorized by type of disaster, event, or
location
 For example, a native of Mexico City living in the U.S. wants to contribute if
something happens back home
 Users can set up an auto-draft that withdraws a specified amount when
an event occurs or set up a recurring auto-draft
 Users have the option to specifically select what cause and type of
assistance they’d like to donate to, if information is available
 Would create revenue through donations, advertising, fundraising, and
grants, potentially 5% or less from donations
 D0UGH-N8 will create a network of verified volunteers around the world
whose job it is to disperse and document allocation
 A compilation of local services will be created by each volunteer to create
a plan of action
 News feed can document delivery and provide speed of delivery statistics
as compared to other organizations

6. Why D0UGH-N8?
 In 2017, the total expenses of the Red Cross exceeded their revenue by
over $130 million
 The Red Cross has kept as high as 27% of every dollar donated
 It costs the Red Cross $30 to raise $100
 Speed of arrival and assistance provided often don’t meet public needs
 This service would improve speed of assistance, amount allocated,
delivery of impact, and could potentially lead to maximum impact and
efficiency
 Allows anyone in the world to contribute directly to causes and see
documented results of their efforts
 Relies on public allocation of funds rather than pooling and allocating the
perceived minimum like other charities
 May lead to meaningful advances in other countries on a personal and
national level

7. BRIDGER/NetWorker
 An international freelance networking service that connects capable
workers with underpaid, unanswered, or available jobs that can be
completed and submitted online
 Serves as guarantor of people’s ability to provide work in different fields
 Reviews and complaints for unsatisfactory work are handled by our
employees to determine eligibility
 For many types of freelance work, one person’s product has little or no
variation to another’s
 Allows skilled people in impoverished countries access to much higher
incomes
 Raises employability of people worldwide
 Fulfills available jobs and rotates users to distribute work
 Creates a mutual exchange of cash flow and work completion

8. Why BRIDGER/NetWorker?
 Almost all freelance sites utilize user reviews, which
can cause some users to float to the top and be more
desirable
 New or international users are often turned down due
to lack of reviews
 Evenly distributes or
 Will create opportunities to cultivate worldwide
education and professional development
 May be able to create and justify learning/work/skill
development centers for the public by sharing
performance statistics with foreign governments, who
may agree to contracts to cover and compensate
projects

9. GREEN HAND Gardens
 Community and volunteer based national gardening network that creates
and facilitates neighborhood gardens where they’re needed most
 Soil, tools, and materials will be donated
 Agreements can be made with city departments or landowners for project
areas and water usage
 The size and production of each garden is tailored to a certain servable
radius
 All things grown are free and all volunteer work is welcome
 Overstocked produce can be donated to homeless shelters or sold at
farmer’s markets to support the garden
 Will improve the nutrition and healthy option availability of impoverished
areas
 Different gardens can communicate nationally to determine need in
certain areas and connect volunteers

10. Why GREEN HAND Gardens?
 Areas exist called “grocery deserts” where no
groceries stores exist due to the high theft rate
 For these areas, the only available options are
fast food and gas station food
 Many communities do not have collaborative and
positive activity opportunities, which would
increase community cohesion
 May lead to a following that creates a health
initiative once results are documented
 Creates opportunities to instill community
leadership in places that need it most

11. M-Prove Temporary Housing
 Refurbishes and converts shipping containers into free homeless shelter programs
 Utilizes volunteers to insulate, develop, and customize shelters
 May develop a single blueprint for replication quote purposes
 Permission for space granted by landowner or city
 Could potentially be sustainable using water filters, solar power, and green waste
management
 Stay could last anywhere from 2-5 days, in which time participants would be
assessed, searched, groomed, fed, provided supplies/clothing, and referred to
services they need
 May be able to work with thrift stores to create vouchers for those in need
 Participants are required to wait two weeks between admissions
 Could provide nurses trying to get hours an opportunity to gain experience and help
populations in need
 Has the potential to cheaply heal the issue of homelessness, improve employability,
and provide a safe haven for countless populations that need it most

12. Why M-Prove
Temporary Housing?
 It is the policy of many homeless shelters to have
nightly residents stand in a single file line outside,
often for hours, minimizing their ability to utilize
their time productively
 The services that most homeless shelters provide
are limited to meals, beds, and blankets for the
night only
 Increases and centralizes availability of different
resources
 Can gentrify communities and document public
and participant improvement

13. M-Prove Mental
 Multi-bed clinics that serve serious cases in
need of long stays, a week max
 Screens and assesses for mental illness,
utilizes on site volunteer, student, and paid
staff to determine need and create action
plans
 Programming consists of lodging, referral, skill
training, job application assistance, and
resilience education

14. Why M-Prove Mental?
 Most multi-day treatment programs charge
extremely high rates for sometimes less than
effective services
 Many in need of assistance struggle to survive
while on wait lists that can last months
 Links and helps participants navigate how to fulfill
their medical and living needs
 With a small enough replicable model, expansion,
space availability, and development quote are
minor challenges
