Let’s set up a Villages Community Foundation registered with the IRS and the State as a bone fide charitable organization.
Take the money - as much as $30 million and start providing gifts, grants and/or loans to our less fortunate workers and business owners as needed.
Who knows, maybe the Morse extended family could throw in a large contribution (tax deductible ) for good measure.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE. I AM VERY SERIOUS.
If you agree, simply post your support now. If you believe you could offer meaningful ideas and would like to help in some way, send me an email and I will start a group.
We owe something to the cashiers, restaurant workers, shop owners and their employees and others who make[/L w just ask around find a couple of people they need it now not later

First Step= State approval , new corporation
Next Step - IRS Approval
Third Step - Experienced and very competent people to run it
Time frame = probably 3-6 months if it goes extremely well .
Solution to delay-- use what we already have- Hundreds of human service, and faith based, social agencies and avoid choke points above. The wheel was invented long ago and still works perfectly well.
