Making a donation to our festival will help us acquire critical personnel, equipment, and to develop at least a couple of dozen franchises, perhaps 100 or so, to operate over a couple of weeks to couple of months, as a proof-of-concept, until our partners fully fund us, in case we don't receive funding in short order.
We treat all donations as LOANS...to be repaid upon funding by our partners [only 1 of 5 partners must fund us]
If you do choose to donate, for the time being, you may only do so by Paypal.
To DONATE just click on the donate button below (or in any other page) and it will take you to an encrypted page at the Paypal site.
You don't need to be a member of Paypal to donate, there is no need to enter anything into the login/password boxes, the page that appears will allow you to enter credit/debit card information for payment directly.
It doesn't matter which city, state or country you are in, all donations are welcome and all will be honored as loans to be repaid....same as with investors and partners.
Though we are greatly appreciative of any sum which you may donate to us, we need your time...you can help by forming a franchise in your neighborhood, or joining one already started, or helping someone to get theirs off the ground.
We also need everyone who believes in our project to contact our would-be funding partners (contact info) and to let them know you want them to join our festival.
Each person that contacts them, contributes to the success of the Festival and the ideals it reflects..
Furthermore, getting the word out about our project is critical to our general success, since we are a populist venture and need people, to be relevant....so tell your friends and family about it.
Final Note.
We appreciate any amount you may choose to donate, but please keep in mind that paypal takes 33 cents from the first dollar, so the larger the sum over 1 dollar the less they receive as a percentage (30 cents + 2-3 percent depending on amount).
Anyone who makes a donation of 100 dollars or more, will receive DOUBLE their money back, upon our partners funding us...this is our way of saying thank you.
We refer to this as our small-investment program.
Ciao.
