FOUNDERS’ CLUB

The Founders’ Club is a group of CEO’s and community
leaders . . .

• Whose companies and communities support and provide resources for Shine’s ongoing work;
• Who publicly endorse Shine Network Foundation via public service announcements on TV and radio.

How This Works

• Founders’ Club members offset Shine’s operations expense with a minimum annual donation of $25K. These contributions are tax-deductible, and in turn allow 100% of all public support for Shine to go directly for charitable purpose.
• Founders’ Club members, noted public figures and celebrities will have an opportunity to make televised and radio public service announcements on Shine’s behalf. Commencing in early 2005, this national media campaign will result in widespread public support for the work of the Shine Network Foundation, with many thanks to our Founders’ Club -- positive community leaders and corporate role models who initiate private sector support for at-risk kids, the aged, and underserved communities.
• CEO Founders’ Club members may encourage their employees to voluntarily contribute 1% of their monthly income to Shine through automatic payroll deduction. This special employee group is called "The (Corporate Name) 1% Club" and receives: a quarterly newsletter showing employees the charitable results of their ongoing contribution; a monthly contribution credit that is accumulated and exchanged annually for goods, services and discounts donated by their company and local/national businesses; an invitation to a annual corporate presentation/celebration of their 1% commitment, and documentation of each individual’s annual tax-deductible contribution.
