Imagine a corporation committed to the benefit of the community.
Imagine a corporation that limits “executive” base compensation to 3 X the median family income of the community in which they work.
Imagine bonuses limited to 25% of base compensation to all employees (including “executives”). Bonuses that are granted based solely on our contribution to the designated charities.
Imagine a corporation that will only compensate its employees with a “livable” wage, not the minimum.
Imagine that all types of employees; no matter race, creed, disability or sexual orientation can strive to learn, work and prosper in a corporation that is dedicated to something greater than ourselves.
Imagine leaving all that you are part of, in better condition than what it was found in. The community, its people and its environment.
Imagine a corporation that fills a niche in an industry that will benefit other corporations in the industry, our government, our community and our charities (that are struggling for funds to do the good work that they do).
Imagine a corporation that is truly sustainable, that is more concerned with the next quarter century than the next fiscal quarter.
IMAGINE
Met with our attorney this week and we are preparing an application to the federal government for charitable status. This application may need revisions before it is accepted and may lengthen the timing of “startup” closer to 8-12 months from this date.
Please comment on this idea and give whatever thoughts you may have. Without your input, the idea that is Philosopher’s Stone is limited – the goal is to make this greater than ourselves. Keep in mind that this must run as a business that makes money (it is not a charity for any one group). It is our dream that this corporation makes lots of money and the goal is $10,000,000 to be distributed annually to our designated charities. This won’t happen overnight – might take some time, might never happen. But, that is the goal – we all need goals.
