The mission of AVVF is to create
an inclusive environment on the Internet for Arab-Americans and their
friends in which benefits, through commercial activities, can be derived
to the members of the community, the non-profit organizations listed on
the community, and management of the community.
The management of AVVF will
provide the basic components that would allow for the creation of such a
community. The members are encouraged to use such components in expanding
the community in accordance with the Mission Statement and Acceptable Use
Policy.
The management of AVVF will be
accessible to the community through a website chat applet, various email
addresses, regular mail, phone and fax.
The management of AVVF will
initially provide the community with a listing of 5 non-profit
organizations that would benefit from the commercial activities. Through a
petition form and procedure, the members of the community, after the
initial 6 moths of operation, may add non-profit organizations to the
list. The non-profit organizations need to comply with the USA tax code
501 C 3. A sample contract is also available to interested non-profits;
to
view the sample contract.
The management of AVVF will
provide an Encrypted Voting Server that the community will use evry six
months to cast its votes for the non-profit of their choice. After the
votes are tallied, the non-profits will receive a percentage of the
non-profit fund that is equivalent to the percentage of vote they
received.
AVVF will provide the members
with the status of the non-profit fund. The status will be updated at
least weekly. The non-profit fund will never be allowed to reach a zero
balance. Initially, and after the disbursement of funds due to the vote,
AVVF, through sponsorship or through its own funds will seed the
non-profit fund.
