All purchases through the Website will help contribute a small sum of money to the Non-Profit Fund for the benefit of the listed non-profit organizations. Each product or service sold will clearly indicate how much is being contributed to the Fund.

The Non-Profit Organizations that will be listed with the Arabian Virtual Village should be currently registered in the United States under sec. 501 C 3 of the USA tax code and such registration shall be current at the time of disbursements from the Non-Profit Fund.

The listed Non-Profits focus their work on humanitarian work, educational, families and children. During the first six months, the administration of the Village will select five (5) Charities to be listed. After that period, the membership of the village, upon supplying a petition signed by 1% of the associate members, may add any Non-Profit that is registered under 501 C 3 regardless of their focus.

The method by which funds are allocated to the various Non-Profits is through the Encrypted Voting server opened to associate members. Each Non-Profit will receive a share of the fund equal to the percentage of votes they receive from the associate members.

Each Non-Profit organization will receive one web page describing its work. Such web page will contain a link to the charity’s web site if such web site exists. Each Non-Profit will be allowed its own chat room in the Chat Forum to disseminate its efforts and answer questions.

A board that is independent of the Arabian Virtual Village administration will oversee the Non-Profit Fund and will be assisted by a Certified Public Accountant. The Arabian Virtual Village will maintain a representative on such board. The duties of the board are to insure that the funds are distributed as per the wish of the membership through its vote. The board, as being only an observing entity, cannot be held liable for overseeing the exercise of the will of the membership.

An independent auditor will semi-annually audit the Non-Profit Fund and a summary of the results of the audit as they pertain to the Non-Profit fund will be published on the web site about 2 weeks prior to voting.

Important Note: The Arabian Virtual Village is working on setting up a Scholarship Fund under section 501 C 3 for the benefit of its associate members. Such fund will be included in the list of Non-Profits to be voted on. Certain businesses, either by law or internal bylaws can only contribute to educational funds and might not consider the Non-Profit Fund as a proper venue. In such cases, the contributions from such businesses will go directly to the Scholarship Fund. When voting takes place, if for example, the membership votes 35% for the Scholarship Fund and its funding from such businesses meets or exceeds the required 35% then the totality of the Non-Profit Fund will be disbursed to the other Non-Profit organizations proportionately. If the funding from such businesses is less than 35%, only the portion of the Non-Profit Fund that complements the Scholarship Fund to the 35% level will be used and the remainder will be disbursed proportionately.
