Traidmark.org = Not / For Profit + Institutional Innovation + Philanthropy (generating goodwill which enhances success and make everyone richer with performance pay)

This is a FREE way for any organisation to get instant goodwill and create Institutional Innovation so you gain more success and can help more people.

Get RICHER and do good for FREE! Sounds too good to be true but it is true. The hard part is to give away 100% net profit (which sounds counter intuitive but is the genius part when you get over the egoic greed of wanting to own the profit). When you give away 100% net profit your organisation essentially becomes a charity fundraising organisation so the enhanced goodwill you get will create so much success that you will get more back in performance pay from working in your organisation. So you can get richer by giving away your wealth! The cooperative have been doing this for generations but they did not invest all the funds in innovative charitable activity and that is the second stroke of genius. By investing the funds in INNOVATIVE charitable activity your funds can solve problems in the most efficient way once and for all enabling you to go on and work on new exciting solutions to other problems. If you dont know how to find innovative solutions ask us @whymandesign

All you have to do is pledge to donate 100% net profit into new Innovative ways to solve human problems and you will gain

Enhanced Goodwill - leading to customer/client/supplier/employee/customer loyalty and enhanced productivity which makes you more successfull and is an added USP you can use against your competition which allows everyone in your company to get richer through enhanced performance pay.

Save lives - You can save lives by using your net profit to innovatively create ways to solve human health/education... problems.

Funds are therefore continually iinvested in new charitable projects that benefit everyone creating an infinitely scaling cycle of success.

Your could say...

Traidmark.org = COOP where funds are donated to INNOVATIVE charitable use rather than given to members

Traidmark.org =  SHAREHOLDER owned company where dividends are donated to INNOVATIVE charitable use rather than given to shareholders

Traidmark.org =  CHARITY where funds are donated to INNOVATIVE charitable use rather than given to the same old charitable use

Traidmark.org =  GOVERNMENT where funds are donated to INNOVATIVE charitable use rather than given to the same old government.

Traidmark.org enables everyone to gain from hard work (performance pay) while adding value to any enterprise by funding innovation and running your enterprise as a Not For Profit or For Profit organisation that invests any surplus funds (or 100% net profit in the case of the for profit organization).So you gain popularity, volunteers, donations, collaborations and importantly goodwill by pledging to donate up to 100% net profit (or all surplus funds after R&D) BEFORE you become successful which in turn increases your chances of becoming successful.

Imagine if Warren Buffett or Bill Gates Li Ka-shing George Soros Howard Hughes (or any of the other philanthropists that are listed below http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_philanthropists) had pledged to donate their riches before they earned them. How much more funds could they have created using the added goodwill they would have cumulatively created over the years (not to mention the good work that they could have done to solve problems earlier if the money had been used as soon as it had been created). 1. This is a great way to enhance philanthropy by funding creativity and rewarding philanthropists and 2. importantly it means that everyone can become a philanthropist no matter what they earn. We can all be Microphilanthropists and gain greater success so we benefit personally too. One clear example is that Microfinance organisations can use this model to enhance the way they innovate.

It is that simple. All that you or anyone has to do is agree to donate all surplus funds to innovative charitable work (which you can set up and create so you are not giving money away but rather spending it on amazing new charitable projects you create).

This importantly increases creativity and inventions by creating institutional innovation by forcing any organisation to invest suplus funds into new innovative ways to solve problems. This is especially useful for governments and charities or philanthropic or training funds that have to be spend by certain dates every year as the funds can be saved by wise investments then used to fund pioneering innovation that will be able to efficiently solve problems through creative blue sky activities that build on and improve existing activities in an even more effective way.

This is how it works.
The organisation invests surplus profit in NEW Innovative enterprise (which helps make that organisation continually evolve because of this structure) which creates better services through institutional innovation. Everyone who works hard can still get financially rewarded through performance pay but there is a goodwill boost as everyone knows the organisation is solving human problems in the most efficient way possible by using innovation.

This adds significant customer loyalty and enables hard work to be rewarded through pay while investing in innovative solutions to social problems.

Anyone can implement the Traidmark business model. This is because any surplus created can be invested in innovative social enterprise which makes it a lot easier to 'do good'.

So Traidmark is promoting the benefits of creating and running Not for profits that importantly invest any surplus cash in NEW innovative social enterprise not for profits. This enables good work to continually evolve and fund even more innovative work that is more efficient.

Every organisation, company and government could be run more effectively as a Charity AND benefit the owners shareholders or taxpayers

Every company, organisation, government agency or sole trader can enhance what they do and save lives just by registering as a charity so that all their net profits are then spent on new innovation that benefits everyone and charitable causes. Founders, employees, partners and investors all gain from the large added goodwill that is gained that translates into profits that then are used to fund innovation that saves lives. The founders and shareholders can even more money from the enterprise as they gain by getting large performance pay packages that are greater than their original personal profit as the company is making larger profits from the extra goodwill it gains.

For example. A sole trader changes their status to a charity and donates net profit to new innovative charitable work. They then gain large amounts of goodwill from this and so get more and more work enabling them to get rich on performance pay WHILE saving lives with the extra funds that they raise which are then spent on innovative sustainable charitable work. http://www.whymandesign.posterous.com has more details. http://www.WEBiversity.org has more video's

How to enhance ANY organisation or startup so you become more successfull for FREE

 1 Comment- Add comment Written on 17-Dec-2010 by WhymanDesign

How to enhance ANY organisation or startup so you become more successfull for FREE &

A. Help everyone collaborate together on charity work,
B. Save lives by donating NET profit (after R&D costs),
C. Gain lots of new customers & suppliers & volunteers who want to help,
D. Gain more goodwill so you get a cumulative mass enhancing your organisations success
E. get personally richer through performance pay by giving away ownership of the organization/company to the world!

http://www.Traidmark.org FREE Business Structure EVERYONE can use = YOUR WORK + 100% Net Profit Philanthropy (spent on INNOVATIVE NOT FOR PROFIT WORK to help/save lives)

It sounds impossible but has been proven to work by cooperatives for ooo's of years...

http://www.TRAIDmark.org explains the full benefits where you agree to pledge to donate surplus funds you generate into NEW INNOVATIVE charitable work which attracts customers so you gain more success and get rich with performance pay WHILE saving lives by donating funds raised to NEW INNOVATIVE charitable work (that you can create if you want to).
The more you give the more you get. http://www.TRAIDmark.org

You could say that the TRAIDmark.org business structure is halfway between a Charity and a Company where you get the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS with caring compassion for everyone AND the Innovation that enables you to help everyone efficiently.


1. INVESTORS
Investors can invest in startups and gain by being paid performance pay as a member of the team without owning the startup. This means that they can donate funds into new startups (which can save them funds in tax too!) and get paid performance pay for their work enhancing it. This means that the startup will forever be run in the best interest of the customer AND can fund innovations that benefit everyone.

2. ENTREPRENEURS
Anyone can set up their own enterprise at almost now cost using the web as a bootstrapped startup so can use this free business structure to help then succeed while also charitably helping others.

3.CUSTOMERS / EMPLOYEES / SUPPLIERS
Customers & Employees can demand that this happens to any company organisation or government department as it is in the best interests for everyone. The best way to do this is to contact the owner / Board members directly by contacting them on the phone/twitter.

4. BANKRUPT / RECEIVERS / ADMINISTRATORS
Any organisation or company that closes down can be saved by doing this. Either the assets can be taken away to pay off debts and the rest of the organisation can be donated to a charity OR the whole organisation can be turned into a Not For Profit Charity (which has positive tax savings). This will instantly SAVE JOBS in the organisation and give it a goodwill boost that will enable it to be saved from bankruptcy (like a phoenix).


Cooperatives have been successfully growing fro many years such as http://www.co-operativebank.co.uk & http://www.co-operative.coop & they can be enhanced by using the TRAIDmark.org model to spend the funds they generate on Innovative new charitable work.

Here are a few organisations already doing this (many donate 1-50% but that is often just a token gesture where as 100% helps save/improve many more lives:)...

http://www.TRAIDmark.org explains how easy and counter intuitive it is to donate all your net profit to INNOVATIVE charitable work and get richer than if you were to selfishly clasp on to as much of the tiny profit you would generate without using this selfless business structure. If you register as a charity there are also may other advantages and benefits that will contribute to your success and therefore your performance pay. The irony is that people who do not use this are making themselves miss out. As it is free there is only one reason which is ignorance/awareness so  please tell anyone you know so they do not miss out.

The premise is this. As we are all standing on the shoulders of giants by using the wheel, fire, tools to name just a few of our ancestors gifts to us... we are obliged to pass on what we create to future generations by NOT claiming ownership of them but instead working on projects  that are run 'for the people' such as not for profits and charities. The hidden benefits of doing this can only fully be discovered by trying it. For instance when you create this people often find your work and offer to help in unexpected ways that help you personally and professionally.

There are two groups, The have's and the have nots. Those that have wisdom know that selflessly helping others is key. Those that do not have wisdom think that selfishness is key. Both benefit and can collaborate using Traidmark.org

We would like to help anyone wanting to help others. For instance  can
we help you using the http://www.TRAIDmark.org business model (where you
get rich with performance pay and you gain from added goodwill created
by donating funds to charity?) This is essentially a cooperative or Not
for Profit but where any surplus funds are invested in NEW Innovative
Not for Profit activity that solves different social problems innovatively.

It solves several issues.
A. It invests any wealth generated into more Innovation creating
Institutional Innovation
B. It stops organisations getting large (large organisations become
inefficient)
C. It stops anyone running any organisation from getting corrupted by
power/wealth as all organisations are small and efficient.
D. It rewards success (through the application of Innovation) in a
clever way that encourages selfless hard work by enabling the successful
people who use the business model to go on an invent then develop new
innovations so they create the freedom co continually make new ways to
help others. It also rewards hard work with performance pay so anyone
motivated by greed can still get rich (without owning the organisation).


Traidmark.org was created to help people like you make the largest impact with your donations. The key is for you to donate to INNOVATIVE new charitable work that is more efficient than traditional charitable work. This is ideally charitable work that solve the cause of a problem in a sustainable way rather than pick up the pieces. Often this can be done by creatively inventing solutions.

FREE Institutional Innovation structure that benefits everyone

 0 Comments- Add comment Written on 11-Jan-2010 by WhymanDesign

 

FREE Institutional Innovation structure that benefits everyone.

Business structures to benefits everyone by creating institutional innovation that will make any organisation innovative more and therefore create better services that then help improve everyone's lives.

 

Explanation of the benefits from the simple act of donating net profit.

An organisation is trading normally today (or is in difficulty or not making a profit)

The organisation makes the simple change of structure by formally agreeing to donate 100% net profit (after wages/tax/R&D) into innovation and innovative brand new charitable work.

This enables the organisation to get a goodwill value boost overnight which increases the value of the company.

Customers an suppliers and competitors then look on the organisation as a partner rather than a competitor and so will do extra things to help the company grow (loyalty, voluntary, complimentary).

Employees work harder knowing that any extra funds will be used for charitable work (and everyone in the organisation including the founders AND investers can get rich by getting performance pay as they work hard to make the organisation as success).

So everyone wins. The Investers and founder and politicans all win as they get increased productivity and get rich through performance pay and they get to become philanthropists and benefit from getting goodwill (and feeling great about the philanthropic organisation they created) before they get rich (rather than after they are rich which is the way the old philanthropic model works).

So this Traidmark.org business structure builds on the  proven soccess of the Cooperative model where by surplus funds are given out but IMPORTANTLY funnels those funds so they can be used to create innovation that cost effectively can help everyone (aiming to fund future innovations as revolutionary as the wheel / bicycle...)

The Traidmark organization aims to reward companies that donate profits to charity (measured in percentages of Net profit). We provide the logos on this website. All you have to do is copy the relevant logo and use it to help boost trade.

 

Discussion about how the philosophy that Traidmark represents. That is the benefits of running any organisation as a Not For Profit that uses all surplus funds to invest in innovative new NFP enterprise which makes organisations evolve so they can serve their customers better and compete...

Big Long Tail of Innovation and how Traidmark funds creative experiments

 0 Comments- Add comment Written on 27-Apr-2009 by WhymanDesign
 
How can we modify structures to maximise the long tail of innovation. How could it best be facilitated so everyone can contribute without comments being lots in the depths of the web? It seams that there is SO much potential for government and the public to achieve using new media. The key appears to be how to communicate this potential and empower everyone to take that step down the rabbit hole of independent innovation and collaboration at everyones own grass roots (though this has been done outside of new tech since just after the beginning of time:). Is there a way to reward individuals to take risks by trying new things and fail/succeed? The dot com approach of rewarding successful innovation by buying it out appears to work for successful innovation. How best to reward innovators that try things that fail is unclear. It may be best to enable lots of innovators to innovate without rewarding success so that peer review enables success to be rewarded socially while larger volumes or innovation can be facilitated by funding lots of people with smaller amounts. The http://www.Traidmark.org business structure aims to illustrate how this can be done by funding innovators to create products within a not for profit that then invests any surplus funds in other innovators who are working on different products/services. This enables commerce and government to interact with the public while safely funding innovation that fails and succeeds with interesting outcomes that exceed expectations.

How to create a self funding organisation that solves human problems.

It would be great to hear about existing projects and way to create self sustaining organisations that use innovation to solve human problems.

Am working on a self sustaining enterprise that aims to provide the platform to empower young people to 'do good'. Would be great to chat more. Working site at www.FREEtraid.org but can message full details. We have a business structure that donates 100% net profit to invest in youth projects (ala Traidmark.org) and are looking for funding and partners with locations we can use. edwhyman at google mail

The ideal situation would be to have an innovative product funded and marketed successfully, with all profits used to fund science for humanity ventures. This would achieve productivety in the richer Nations and funding would follow, the trick is getting the development funds in the first instance.
Taking this forward would need a secret millionaire to kickstart it, but alas there are very few willing to donate...Unless you are one reading this? In case you ask, an innovative product could be found in the patent office files there are plenty which may never see the light of day due to lack of initial development funding.

Hi Ed

Great idea and something I've always been interested in. I did a quick poll of a group I was talking to ages ago to gage public reaction to a company that charged a little more (few %) that the competition but donated more/all profit to charity or supported community projects etc. I was disappointed when most said they wouldn't support an organisation like that - they would prefer to donate, rather than be charge more etc. That was only a small test group, but I would think that if a product is good quality and roughly priced at market value then people will support it. I have helped design products so would be interested in helping.

I was interested in starting a software organisation staffed by volunteers to code software similar to OpenOffice and other common main stream applications. I like what the Natural History Museum are doing at the moment with simple science kits. I even bought a scale model of the ear for my research!

I was impressed by Kiva ( www.kiva.org ) that help people provde short term loans to people in developing countries. This highlights peoples desire to help as there are not enough entrepreneurs to meet the demand from lenders!

Hi Richard

What you are doing sounds great. Check out brightone.org as they would be good partners. I also would love to work with other tech volunteers to solve social problems innovatively and cheeply then generate income that can be used to fund even more innovation which is the aim of the Traidmark.org business structure. The aim is to have cheeper products (through innovation) that also donate 100% net profit to charity so the consumer gets cheeper goods and also knows where the profits are going:)

This may be of interest (and will be a great way to meet some clever
tech guys who made SuperCoolSchool:)

I am running a 'class'/discussion about the Traidmark.org business
structure that you saw me present a while back and thought you might
want to interact with it online here
http://startup.supercoolschool.com/classes/432 (FRIDAY 29.05.09 13.30 GMT)

I am hoping to persuade the supercoolschool creators to donate 100% net
profit from Supercoolschool to fund innovation that solves social problems.

I am currently using this business model to set up
http://openspacecafe.ning.com/ which aims to generate profit from
cafe/restaurant sales to invest in innovation.

do join the Traidmark.org group for updates and add comments there so EVERYONE can see them without having to log in (open everything:)

No No No Yes. Saying Yes / No Happiness and 8 hours!

No No No Yes. Saying Yes / No Happiness and 8 hours!
1.
What is the unmeasurable negative effect of people saying no or being negative on you me and society? Is it worse to ignore someone than say no to them? Probably...

Here is a list of obvious ways to handle any situation from bad to good...

BAD - Insult, Ignore, Say No, Suggest something, Encourage, Congratulate, Say Yes, Recommend - GOOD

So it takes less effort to say to someone that they are doing well and makes you feel good too.
It appears to be all linked to the EGO that makes some people confused and think that they are better than others so don't want to care or help them which leads to the BAD reactions to any/every enquiry. As these people are negative to other people they get negative responses too leading to a cycle of negativity which makes the egotistical person feel worse and worse. The person who has control of their EGO and acts selflessly helping others gets rewarded many times over as others are nice back to them creating a cycle of GOOD where everyone wins. Often stress creates the negative cycle but this can be combated by looking at others who have 'less' making you feel humble and by laughing at ourselves as in the grand scheme of things nothing we do (nor our lives) appear to matter.

2.
This leads on to how you live your life. To enjoy it or to reach some goal that your parents/society has imposed on you? The TED talk below makes me step back and think about what is important and how money and status are worth less than self belief and pride...
Do not look for happiness but create it with what you have got.


http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_gilbert_asks_why_are_we_happy.html

When people have no choice they change their preferences to make them more happy about what they have. When they have choice they are always comparing what they have to others so are less happy as they compare with the average.

On average nothing is average!

3.
Which leads to what you do with 8 hours of your life! well 3 sets of 8 hours.


8 hours working...

If one person can do a job better than someone else should they take ove the job?

How does that apply to what you do? Would you step aside if someone could do your job better than you?

If you step aside then you would be able to do a different job that you are even better at.

So everyone should keep looking out for someone who could do their job better than them. When they find that person they should give them their job so that they can go on to work in areas that they excel in.


8 hour sleeping...

Is there a way to do good while you sleep? Create a website that offers advice/ helps others that will be online while you sleep.


8 hours relaxing...

Is there a way to do good while you relax? Finding your passion in life and using that to build something that can be used to help others in your local/global community be it art/writing/acting/dancing/singing/playing...

4.
FREEtraid.com aims to help anyone maximise the positive effect of using any time in their day by sharing free advice on using any skill to give away free products/services in exchange for donations so that you can then fund even more great work. Its a gift economy that funds innovative work.

Make yourself happy and content by giving. Please share your experience of making yourself happy by giving (takes 5 mins and will help someone else)...

 Is pain and suffering almost always caused by selfish minds? It appears so.

That appears to be one main cause of suffering as many people think they are going without so take from others.Take a look at any selfish or 'evil'/'bad' person. They are always selfish and dont realise that they could give others happiness if they took time to step back and look at their life. Instead they think there is no time to look at their life (takes 5 minutes) so miss the chance to make their life happy and content.

I keep forgetting to appreciate what i have and keep getting wound up by life's little problems based around things like my Career.
All of these anxieties come from comparing myself to others so it is inevitable that i am unhappy at least 50% of the time as i (and everyone else) expects to be getting at least above average out of life if not to at least 90%! (meaning i am unhappy 90% of the time!!!).

Several different people suggested going for a walk whenever I feel bad (which works amazingly) and also to look on life not as a task but as a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to see how many other people we can help and make happy. After all if you make someone else happy it makes you feel good so that can only be good. One other way is to look back at the simple things in life that I HAVE rather than look forward at the things i think i want. When i forget to appreciate these things i look up a video of someone who does not have one of these or try to find someone in the street who is missing one of these and try to help them a little. Below is a list of these things (if you cant do one move on to the next please)...

I can Breathe (breath in and out 10 times slowly concentrating on the air flowing into and out of your lounges) [hold your breath for a bit]
I can Touch (move one part of your body very slowly and concentrate on the sense) [sit still then move a tiny part of your body]
I can See (look at one small object or your hand and enjoy being able to see this) [close then open your eyes]
I can Hear (close your eyes and listen to the quietest sounds and enjoy them) [put your fingers in your ears;p]
I can Smell (breath in slowly through your nose and see what you can smell) [breath in through your mouth then nose]
I can Taste (What does your mouth taste like, the air or your skin?) [Eat something tasty]
I can Give (find someone who needs something and give it to them...Hug, Kiss...) [Dont forget to give yourself something too by hugging others]

 Do you know any other ways to remind yourself to control your EGO so you stop thinking about yourself and concentrate on helping others who are  less (and more) fortunate than you are? Please share this information and any other ways to enjoy life (no matter how obvious) to http://www.FREEHUG.org

We are also looking for people to collaborate on this project. Are you interested?

Using People Power to improve the world and save everyone money.
Add your location, community/group and skill then find others in your area to work with on community projects.

1. Create or find collaborations or an Idea/problem
2. List it on the site and guesstimate its value (financial and socially beneficial...)
3. Register the location that will benefit and what you want/need to do (list what items/skills are needed)
4. Go round your neighborhood posting notes through doors about your project (ask for help and collaboration).
5. Raise funds by collecting donations
6. Set up a community cafe to raise funds by giving away free drinks in exchange for donations for the project (http://www.BARcampBAR.org)
7. Create a collaboration hub (http://www.FREEtraid.org have more details)

Problems to Progress

Edit Post Edit
 0 Comments - Add comment Written on 21-Jun-2009 by WhymanDesign

Here are a few problems that will need to be solved to help progress.

1.
Duplication and confusion slow down learning/development/innovation/progress and can make progress reverse as individuals go off in the 'wrong' direction. For example if there are two sites doing the same thing then that splits the user/customer/supplier communities into two making the collaboration and partnership potential halved while enabling people to duplicate the same work.

How can this be solved?...

One way is to concentrate or rank organisations that are doing the 'most' good above others. So not for profit organisations that are efficient should be ranked higher than commercial organisations. So a not for profit search engine is a good start. https://www.anoox.com is one example.

2.
And finding content that you can reuse and remix is equally important. http://search.creativecommons.org and http://www.jamendo.com are two examples.

If you know of a better way to solve this please add it to http://www.UGCunion.org

3.
The same goes for any form of assessment from exams to job applications.
Assessment is also a key area that needs to be looked at. How can assessment and feedback be collected in a scientific manner that does not neglect the unknown and unquantifiable?

4.
Centralised networks and organisations will fall down if the central core is disrupted. It is therefore imperative that networks and organisations are restructures to be decentralise and community based so that they can not entirely collapse. This also fosters collaboration and evolution which dramatically enhance innovation and progress for the benefit of everyone. http://yacy.net/ is one example of decentralised web search.

Introduction to the web... as simple as 1 2 Infinity

Edit Post Edit
 0 Comments - Add comment Written on 27-Feb-2009 by WhymanDesign
Consumer habits continue to change with web usage creating new opportunities for even better customer service and ethical trading. One key problem is how web usability is still not accessible for novices and often is infuriatingly restrictive for all users due to a lack of careful usability design. If only those websites were aware of the loss of trade caused by this lack of usability they would instantly improve their service. Over time this will happen and we are interested in assisting and measuring how this process of change occurs.

This nice games is one example of how things many people take for granted need to be taught in a clear educational manner to certain types of learners.

http://www.getonlineday.com/challengegame/index.html 

Which leads on to the government service called http://www.myguide.gov.uk which illustrates many more.

 

 

Once on the web the first big choice users face is, 'Which service do I use' when there are so many similar offers?

Most users learn from their peers choosing the fastest services that are easiest to use. Then they choose to use ethical products/services provided by Not For Profit and Social Enterprise organisations which are nicely listed on websites such as http://www.idealist.org and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-profit_organization.

 

Where will the usability developments go with the new platform of the mobile web?

If you are not happy with any ART or books in any way (please take pictures/videos of yourself giving them away and share on TRUSTlibrary.org and collect contact details for the people you gave them to) then we will be able to give you a replacement batch totally free. The books we supply are popular fact and fiction but we do also have a supply of childrens and youth books that we can supply to Schools/Hospitals. We also install artworks in public locations too. Contact us for details @TRUSTlibrary. Why not get a Trust Library installed in/outside your office, school, home, hospital, station or in an entrance foyet so that everyone can improve their day with a free book they can read then give away.

TRUST Library has won an award from http://www.unltd.org.uk and are looking for other partners to collaborate with on helping others using recycled items. We have partnered with http://www.HealthyPlanet.org to raise awareness of Reusing, Reducing and Recycling resources.

Get and Give FREE BOOKS and Make Your Own Trust Library in Minutes plus share the locations of Trust Libraries on our map so anyone can find and use them.

1. Want a FREE book to read, review then give away? Donate to TRUSTlibrary.org (so we can recycle books from Charity Shops to give away for free to others) and we will give you free books. Join us in the Gift economy where everyone wins.

2. Have you ever seen a few books left for anyone to take in a bar or waiting room? Share the location on our map so that everyone can use that Trust Library. Search for your local Trust Library here and make your own.

3. Help hundreds of people in minutes by getting the DIY Trust Library pack and volunteering or building your own.

4. Enhance any building by requesting we install a FREE Trust Library. Every School, Hospital, Hall and Shop could have one. If you want a Trust Library in your community ask us to send your community leader free books by donating. Lets work together to create, record and share where to find free books so that anyone can FIND the Trust Libraries and then give and get FREE books.

Also review any books you find at Trust Libraries so others know which books to read/ignore. Ask us to set up a FREE Book sharing Trust Library or donate and get a book sent to a friend of your choice. Take, read then review your book at TRUSTlibrary.org and importantly give it away. (Do tell Us if you enjoyed the book & donate online:). It is also important to record where the Trust Libraries are so that it is harder of them to be unintentionally disposed of by unaware individuals so we have created signs to label them.
