The donation services industry is the most socially positive and economically promising industry to emerge in decades. The Prosperity Project introduces the donation services industry as an open source model – anyone, or any organization, is free to build donation service enterprises with the Prosperity Project.

As founder of DoughNation and creator of the Prosperity Project, my hope and desire is that the spirit and principles of ‘doing well by doing good’ that the Prosperity Project is honored. Since introducing this open source social enterprise, I have been reaching out to social justice, economic development and other nonprofits across the nation to invite them to build the Prosperity Project in their community. I hope you will spread the word.

The Prosperity Project: the first Open Source Social Enterprise

Since 2002, DoughNation has proven homeowners will pay for tax deduction documentation and delivery for donations of quality clothing and belongings. DoughNation gives customers an easy way to feel good helping the community, and they all enjoy gaining deductions worth at least as much as they paid (the service is even tax-deductible as part of making a charitable donation).

The DoughNation business model is proven: customers repeat business and refer others. Customers will pay upfront hundreds and sometimes more than a thousand for handling the entire household contents.

The Prosperity Project introduces four entirely new donation service enterprises, including:

1. DoughNation: providing tax deduction documentation (including photographs and itemized lists) and delivery for donations of quality belongings.

2. Gentle Disposition: clearing the entire home through donation, recycle and disposal.

3. Full Circle Fundraising: leveraging the tax deduction benefits for donations into flexible programs that benefit every school and nonprofit.

4. The Community Partnership, strengthening the community core by introducing local businesses to schools and community organizations, helping generate revenue for them all.

Additionally, excellent potential exists for spin-off businesses involving repairing and reselling donations, including furniture and electronics repair, resale shops, online auctions, event planning, etc.

More than simply business models, the Prosperity Project promotes a new way of doing business based on ‘doing well by doing good’ and looking beyond the narrow measure of bottom-line-only concerns. The Prosperity Project seeks to chart a new course for how business is done in America.
