Megan Saul (Director, Spring Mountain Benefit Corp) has pledged the proceeds from the rental of the Spring Mountain Villa as an income generating asset for the organization. The organization will manage the property. This provides an ongoing source of capital for local investment.
* Utilizing income generated from the Villa as well as donations, the
organization will provide small grants (micro-investment) to local residents for
entrepreneurial projects. This will promote entrepreneurial activities by local
community members (e.g., starting a pig raising business, bicycle rental or a
child care operation). Grant recipients will be chosen by competition, interview

* The organization will offer support to local entrepreneurs in the form
of counseling, guidance, advice, assistance, loans and grants. These activities,
free create of charge, will enhance the skills and knowledge of local
entrepreneurs, enabling them to local business opportunities and develop locally
owned businesses.
* Local residents will have the opportunity to generate income by
providing activities to visitors such as fishing, hiking, taxi, tour guide, etc.
* The officers and directors of the corporation will manage the long range
plans and policies of the organization and will, from time to time, personally
oversee projects.
* Marvia Brown (Director, Spring Mountain Benefit Corp) will oversee all
local activities, including but not limited to the management, maintenance and
security of the Spring Mountain Villa and other organization properties and
interests. Volunteers are not anticipated at this time.
* Local independent contractors will be hired for maintenance work,
repairs, construction, security and other requirements related to the
maintenance of the villa, organizational projects and other properties.
* The basic idea is to promote local entrepreneurs through start up grants
for local business ideas (as a small business 'incubator'). This would be
bolstered by free assistance to these small businesses so that they may learn,
grow and profitably manage their business affairs. The Villa itself will
generate income for these purposes. Donations will also go to housing, food,
education, pet care, wind and solar power, paving of roads, etc.
Counseling/advisement related to small business development are provided to
grant/loan recipients and others in the community by request. Providing
start-up micro-grants is just the beginning of a relationship that involves
learning to manage a business and maintain a profit.
Additional goals include
· The development of wind and solar power provided to Spring Mountain neighborhood
· Paving the roads in the Spring Mountain neighborhood
· Creating an education fund
· The development of WiFi for the Spring Mountain neighborhood
· Community health and welfare (HEW) (food, medication, doctor's visits, personal health supplies such as toothbrushes and toothpaste)
· Doctors without Borders visits
· Animal healthcare and wellbeing
Economic development will be achieved through a micro-grant program designed to
assist entrepreneurs to develop small businesses, as well as donations.
Counseling and advisement will also be provided. Possibly, micro-loans will be
made available. The Spring Mountain Villa will serve as a focal point for
tourist development in the local area, for such small businesses as taxis,
guided tours, and recreational activities. Another focus of local businesses
development will be the provision of goods and services for the community. This
could range from support for a local chicken coop to erecting a source of solar
energy for the entire community. All of the area residents will benefits from
increased economic activity, ownership of small businesses by local community
members and the addition of valuable services and goods not currently readily
available to the community.
