METHODOLOGY
To maximize impact, our team of social entrepreneurs identifies key needs and concentrates on a few key projects at a time within an area of interest (currently domestic poverty, and reinvesting in education and innovativeness as a long-term strategic solution). We will bring this agenda to the forefront of the national debate by working in harmony partnerships with the visionary leaders a who are unwilling to accept the status quo.
We have chosen to subdivide the primary causes of want in our land of plenty into five major areas for focus. Why five? Adam Smith's 'invisible hand 1' has let too many slip through its fingers, so these five serve as a symbolic reminder that we can all extend our hands to lend support and succor to those living in poverty:
- education
- inequality/social justice
- health care (includes mental health)
- sustenance (food, shelter, a job)
- non-violence and freedom from fear
It is in our enlightened self-interest to foster an abundant future landscape in which our children will live. We feel this can be brought about by recognizing and investing once again in our areas of historical strength which we have long been neglecting. For this reason we also advocate for investment in science and technology education, research, and infrastructure:
- American Innovativeness Campaign - advocating for investment in our historic source of comparative advantage as our best hope for a bright future. We can choose a long-term view and invest in science and science education.
