| Q: |
Everyone has a "cause" - This is a "me to"! |
| A: |
As long as they are genuine we applaud any and every good cause to lift another. Our cause
is not a marketing scheme - It is an expression of our belief and our identity. It is a reflection
of our family of Associates. It is a chance to make a difference - even if it is small. |
|
| Q: |
How is it different than others? |
| A: |
We want our Associates to "participate" and feel ownership in the foundation - not just donate money. We will have "Foundation Trips" each
year where we invite anyone to serve and give. It is not that we are different, it is that we believe so strongly in our cause to "make life better", we
want to create a way for anyone to give.
|
|
| Q: |
Who pays for the Foundation - the Company or the Associate? |
| A: |
Actually, we both do. As our Associates buy our products we will donate out of our profits a small
percentage of the revenues from every product to the foundation on behalf of (in the name of) the Associate. Together we can build a
beautiful way to help and lift others.
|
|
| Q: |
Can Associates donate money to the foundation? |
| A: |
Yes. We are looking at multiple ways to fund the foundation. We recognize that taking a small percentage of the profits of
every product will be small at first, but it will add up and grow. Hopefully beyond anything we can imagine. Many of our Associates already
donate to charitable causes.
|
|
| Q: |
When you donate money in the "name of the Associate" what does this mean? |
| A: |
We want our Associates to see how much they are contributing by purchasing our products. We will keep track
of all their product purchases and show them the total we have contributed in their name. We also want to let each Associate
pick the charitable causes they want to "sponsor". This is where we let them fully participate with us.
|
|
| Q: |
So what charitable causes does the Make Life Better Foundation support? |
| A: |
This is the exciting part of our cause. The Make Life Better Foundation is being designed to not
only support multiple well known charitable organizations - such as "Feed the Children", "Reach the Children", "Orphans around the World", and "Make
a Wish" Foundation, but we want our Associates to go out and find their own causes! We feel that if our Associates can
sponsor someone to join our family of associates, they can also "sponsor" a cause - even a local cause of someone they know.
|
|
| Q: |
How will it work to let Associates "sponsor" their own cause? |
| A: |
We will have a form - similar to how you sign up an Associate - that will allow our Associates
to submit to the Foundation and request "sponsorship". Because the Make Life Better Foundation is a separate organization from the Make Life
Better Company - it will have it's own guidelines and policies of sponsorship. More information will be coming as it is further defined.
|
|
| Q: |
When will the Foundation be ready to participate in? |
| A: |
We are planning on June 2004. We will share more at our Global Convention & Summit in Hawaii.
