Problem Identification
What serious problem or challenge with broad significance does your use of technology address? Explain your context and the existing conditions that you are trying to improve or rectify.

A Better Community For All (ABC4All) addresses the issue of helping communities become better.

A Better Community For All (ABC4All) focuses on the betterment of citizenry and communities via a give-back model of conducting business in the world: "Maximizing Charitable Contributions on and off the Internet."™ Support is offered for charitable causes worldwide. ABC4AllWorldSolutions!™ provide opportunities to reach unimagined "Health Heights™." A healthier water and application of advanced energy technologies bring the potential for humanitarian relief wherever it is needed throughout the world in emergent/non-emergent situations.

Key is the fact that the definition of what makes a community better always is defined by the individual, group or community addressing the question. Rather than imposing any external criteria, information offered is shared with others. Once reviewed, it is up to the recipient(s) of the information to determine if any or all has relevance for local conditions.

The Mission: "Maximizing Charitable Contributions on and off the Internet"™

The Mantra: MAXIMIZE Giving.™

Considering the urgent issues facing everyone alive on the planet, it is clear that such Mandated Action on a comprehensive scale is required. Until now such a broad approach to global solutions that will benefit mankind have been sorely lacking.

Certainly there have been extraordinary contributions that improve conditions. But a comprehensive, community-wide approach that can be adapted to local conditions and circumstances for any area in the world seems more vital than ever.

It is not an exaggeration to state that many increasingly feel it is becoming too late, that the dangers that threaten civilization are being taken too lightly. Instead a dramatic, pervasive and dedicated course of action is needed that will receive global support, no matter who and no matter what the social, political or religious persuasion.

There is a need for many "First Responders" in the world. Yet no one individual, group, community or country is able to bring the planet to a state of being habitable in a way that will be beneficial to all.

For the past eight years, such a comprehensive approach has been in development. A healthier water and application of advanced energy technologies offer the potential for humanitarian relief wherever it is needed throughout the world in emergent/non-emergent situations.

Can all ways of life be healthfully sustained rather than compromised? With the relief to be offered by ABC4All, the answer is a resounding, "Yes!"

While "A Better Community For All (ABC4All)" is a work in progress that will never end, the Legacy of ABC4All offers participants the chance to determine, for themselves, just how, when and if what is learned will benefit individuals and communities. Opportunities for self-improvement and self-funding are aimed to permit self-determination, providing equal opportunities for all.

The internet offers an unprecedented opportunity as an equalizing force for the world as it moves in the direction of globalization.

Future FREE education offered by the "ABC4All GlobiVersity™" is made available in the hopes offering significant means for improvement of local conditions.

One ABC4All focus has been "Getting Global Philanthropy Going:"

Since then, ABC4All has developed several additional foci:

In development via Enlightened Health Corporation (EH) are concepts for "Life Path Centers" to include multiple healing modalities that can bring relief to humanitarian needs throughout the world, including innovative health technologies.

The combination of these and other developments, to be described below, have justified the coinage of the term, "ABC4AllWorldSolutions!™."

The continuing and expanding health benefits being documented as achieved with Plasma Activated Water (PAW) have led to another coinage: "Health Heights™." The question becomes, "How high a health height can be achieved?" Before Plasma Activated Water (PAW) and other advanced technologies, the ability to reach such levels of health was not even within the realm of imagination.

With regard to the fulfillment of ABC4All’s mission, the technology presently exists to bring into fruition the "ABC4All Dream Realized." Funding for many worthwhile charitable causes has dwindled if not totally disappeared. Some organizations have, in fact, had to close their doors. DCAT™, in contrast, offers a means via ordinary everyday consumerism, for charities to receive virtually unlimited support. Constituents of a cause, with proper motivation and knowledge along with a desire to offer their support, can consistently direct their consumerism via ABC4All methodology with resulting repeated microdonations or micropayments accumulating over time for that cause based on consumer shopping patterns. Through this means, nonprofit groups become self-funded and can rely less on outside sources for support.

Household families (individuals, couples, extended families) have a significant amount of consumerism (of all types) during the course of any given year, over a decade, during a lifetime. Every individual’s consumerism can contain a percentage (predesignated by the merchant) that will be earmarked for a charity but at no cost to the consumer.

It is the particular vendors involved who designate the percentage that is returned to the consumer via a rebate (a percentage of the total purchase price). The Internal Revenue Service in the USA has already ruled that when consumers designate such rebates be sent on their behalf to a charity that the accumulated amount each year becomes a tax-deductible charitable contribution.

ABC4All’s aim is to educate consumers to the fact that such rebates (discounts) can be translated into the consumer’s predesignated charitable contributions for a given cause. Through this means, a donation is automatically generated for the charity by each individual participant wanting to support a particular cause. ALL CONSUMERISM can become involved with this technology.

To summarize:

Description of Technology Application
Fully describe the technology application. What technology is being used? How is it being used? Who is responsible? Who is benefiting? What processes or systems are in place to deliver this technology application?

In addition, GreenZap has a permanent Value Proposition in place: Offering new accounts $50 immediate webcash to spend on the internet and $5 additional each time a referral results in a new account. Thus people from all walks of life from 229 countries have already become members of GreenZap. As of 04/06, GreenZap is weeks away from issuing its Debit Card. The new GreenZap Debit Card will be able to participate in the "ABC4All Triple Giving Program:"

With The Giving Card, existing bank credit/debit cards already supporting a cause (e.g., alumni association) can augment such support or the consumer can designate a different cause, for example, a school, via registering the same card with The Giving Card/ABC4AllGGG. No new credit/debit card is needed.

The rebates accumulate over time via all shopping activity. Rebates can be donated electively by the consumer to a charity of choice. The annual contribution generated through this means becomes a year-end tax-deductible donation to the charity, as already ruled by the USA Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The rebates earned are automatically calculated for each consumer order. Those rebates are then catalogued and accounted for, as part of each and every transaction when the Friend of ABC4All shops. Members have the prerogative to assign rebates to a preferred participating charity. After doing so, the accumulated contributions are sent to the charity involved automatically on a periodic basis. Complete records of each transaction are made available for the consumer shopper's account. As well, the payments sent to the charity are also recorded and are therefore verifiable and easily documented for purposes of income tax preparation showing the justification for the tax-deductible contribution.

With ABC4All’s maximizing eFUNdraising™ endowment program in effect, including the ABC4All Triple Giving Program (ABC4AllGGG), each such contribution will be matched, and a duplicate amount will be also automatically sent to the consumer's charity of choice, effectively doubling the nonprofit's or NGO’s receipts based on these consumer purchases. It is ONLY the nonprofit causes, then, who benefit, maximally, from the online shopping activity with the resultant automatically generated charitable contributions. Such source of self-funding provides revenue streams not otherwise available. Consumers benefit from promotions/discounts/rewards.

All micropayments made to the charity are thus verifiable, documented and stored in the account record for each consumer and can be printed out for record keeping purposes as needed.

ABC4All progress from July 2004 to May 2005 has included the following :

The proposal is for Mr. Aviles to participate in a future "ABC4All FUNdraising™ Concert Series."

From May 2005 to May 2006 there have been additional significant developments:

DREAMS...Children...Future...Imagine...

If you could imagine the world as the best place that it could be - the place you would want to live in -- what would it be like? Would it be a world without hungry children or adults? Would it be a world with no homeless people? Would it be a world where there were no people who wore rags, but all had good clothes? Would it be a world where people everywhere could take care of themselves and their families?

Would it be a better community for all?

Evidence of Contribution
How do you know that your application of technology is making a contribution?

TAX-DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS

Every consumer transaction via the ABC4All methodology will include a prearranged discount and/or a rebate provided by the vendor for the customer. The consumer then decides what portion -- or all -- of the rebate is to be allocated to a charitable cause of their choosing. By using "Directed Consumerism with Automatic 'TechnoGiving,' (DCAT)!" the Friends of ABC4All accumulate a yearly tax-deductible contribution earmarked for the cause of their choice.

What does what we do accomplish?

We bring about a means for redistributing significant portions of the world's wealth back to society and causes in need, where they always belonged. The dynamics of what can be accomplished are illustrated here:

DRAMATIC EXAMPLE OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE

* 2000 people support a cause, each making purchases

amounting to $50 a week for 50 weeks in the year

with 10% allocated as a rebate back to the consumer,

or $5 x 50, which is then designated

as the year-end tax-deductible charitable

contribution of $250.00.

* At the end of one year, with such systematic

participation, the group of 2000 supporting their

chosen cause has raised $500,000.

* ABC4All steps in with its Ultimate Matching

eFUNdraising Program (UMEP), doubling that amount

to $1,000,000.

This example demonstrates the vast potential the ABC4All Triple Giving Program (ABC4AllGGG) holds for nonprofit organizations. The potential for the New Millennium Business Model's "Ultimate eFUNdraising4All" will only increase with the passage of years further and further into the New Millennium.

How is what we do different from what others do?

ABC4All's Ultimate Matching eFUNdraising Program (UMEP)™ for charitable contributions is a unique offering.

TECHNOLEARNING AND TECHNOGIVING

We have a number of educational and technological innovations that make us very unique. The ABC4All Global Portal, ABC4All.net, offers a built-in educational focus regarding the give-back model of conducting business in the world: The ABC4All New Millennium Business Model (NMBM). The site will be designed in such a manner as to offer a web based experience that will intrigue the visitor (children of all ages) and cause them to want to explore more deeply into the site. As they begin to move more deeply into our website, consumers will come across information which potentially can help themselves, their family, their community. ABC4All represents an educational opportunity that demonstrates at once methods to make charitable contributions, all the while improving communities.

Presentation of Measurable Results
Describe the method(s) you are using to measure your results. How are you reporting your results and to whom? To whom are you accountable?

EXAMPLE OF CHEN4ALL BUSINESS PARTNER

Holliday Cards, a subsidiary of Franklin Press, Inc. has created a business relationship with Community Health, Exercise and Nutrition for All (CHEN4All), as follows: Children in schools upload their artwork onto the internet. The artwork become part of greeting cards which are sold to families. The proceeds from such sales will be distributed as follows:

25% of proceeds will go to the child’s school.

15% of proceeds will go to CHEN4All (HFEE).

5% of the credit card transaction via ABC4AllGGG will go to the consumer’s charity of choice (in this instance it can be the school).

Thus 45% of the total purchase price becomes a charitable contribution. When endowed, ABC4All’s Millennium Endowment Fund (MEF) will offer a matched contribution of another 45% for a total of 90% of the purchase price will go to charitable causes. The dimensions for what is possible are clearly outlined in this example.

THE OPPORTUNITY BEFORE US

Current trends in information technology offer a unique opportunity to assist in the unification of the world through ABC4All’s New Millennium Business Model (NMBM) and the ABC4All Triple Giving Program (ABC4AllGGG) which can lead to the creation of a philanthropic revolution, a new world order:

Yes to A Better Community For All!™

The ABC4All New Millennium Business Model (NMBM)™

DCAT's Doing Good Online!™ Creating a Social Revolution

Directed Consumerism With Automatic "TechnoGiving" (DCAT)™

Are you ready to help us help you achieve that world of your dreams?

WHAT CONSUMERS CAN DO

Consumers can consider joining the Friends of ABC4All in the group effort necessary to bring about the realization of ABC4All's Mission

EDUCATION

Help us help you to educate yourself and others to make it a better world. Remember, Friends of ABC4All (FABC4All) can support the nonprofit of their choice. A church or synagogue can instruct congregation members on the ABC4All model of generating funds. A museum can establish self-funding. A disease-cure foundation can request that its supporters adopt the ABC4All model. Virtually any nonprofit group can follow suit. The ABC4All GlobiVersity™ offers FREE education, without any admission requirements, without degrees – only offering information which, if studied and applied can help an individual/group decide to apply the information in order achieve self-direction in improving oneself, the group or the community at large. Self-Funding then becomes the means for achieving independence and autonomy and offers opportunities that will decrease the divides: Technological, Economic and Cultural. Super Teaching can be used to train people to assume responsibilities and enter into opportunities that did not exist before.

Recently a referral of ABC4All has been made to Kanisha Moore Johnson who is going to Uganda in order to work with a health clinic as part of her educational requirements. Through contacts established via ABC4All, it is possible she will bring with her advanced technology to help convert severely polluted water ridden with bacteria into both potable and safe bathing water. As she is arranging for an evening of fundraising to support her trip to Uganda, several means for raising funds offered by ABC4All have been shared with Kanisha.

These are only two examples. The potential for additional educational opportunities is obvious.

IMAGINE MAKING IT A BETTER COMMUNITY FOR ALL!

If you can imagine such a better world, one where it now can become a reality just by joining with ABC4All in our educational efforts, please help us help you create that better community for all.

Description of Potential Negative or Unintended Consequences
Describe any outcomes that may not be beneficial that you have considered. Who might consider your application problematic and why?

Given its matching donation program, it is expected that there will be high traffic demands on the global ABC4All portal. Proper hosting and bandwidth will be necessary to accommodate expected traffic from all over the world. It will be necessary to anticipate this growth so as to avoid the site being shut down even temporarily due to excessive bandwidth demands. Obviously the latest technologies need to be employed to ensure online security for consumers and to avoid hackers or others with intent to do harm. It is difficult to imagine anyone who would object to the ABC4All mission (outside of persons with evil intentions, i.e., terrorists).

Discussion of Replication Potential

ABC4All's methods, as described above, are all easily documented via present and existing technology. Micropayments generated for charities are computer-calculated as they are generated, and checks sent to charities are also automatically generated and distributed. Thus the slogan, "Directed Consumerism With Automatic "TechnoGiving" (DCAT)." Note the emphasis here is on "Automatic," making virtually each and every consumer purchase from the smallest item to the largest (such as a home or car purchase) contain a replicable rebate which can be allocated by the consumer, in part or in whole, as a charitable contribution.

Certainly the ABC4All "New Millennium Business Model (NMBM)" is available to any corporation or vendor whether on or off the internet. Burton Danet, Ph.D., Founder of ABC4All, believes that "Any consumer purchase that does not automatically generate a charitable contribution is shortchanging society."

Nivek has pledged 100% of profits from the sale of "Making a Difference" to ABC4All.

Inspirempower Foundation, a National Heritage Foundation, has pledged partial proceeds from the sale of "HIPPOCRATES MD: The Transformation of Health Care" to support ABC4All.

Mary Zesiewicz, M.D. is co-authoring a book with Burton Danet, Ph.D. on the introduction of Plasma Activated Water (PAW) for the world.

The Giving Card, San Diego, California http://thegivingcard.com offers a means to maximize charitable contributions via ordinary consumerism. The Giving Card is the cornerstone of the ABC4All Triple Giving Program (ABC4AllGGG). Donald Stump, former President, has often participated in discussions of "The Big Picture," which have led to the ultimate conclusion that The Giving Card can be instrumental in fulfilling the ABC4All Dream Realized.

Community Health, Exercise and Nutrition for All (CHEN4All) is a collaborative effort of Huck-Fin Environmental Education (HFEE), San Diego, California and A Better Community For All (ABC4All). David Gray, President, has provided excellent collaboration and cooperation to facilitate entree into the Sweetwater Union High School District, San Diego County, California.
