ABC GIVING TREE

In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. asked “Where Do We Go From Here? Chaos or Community? That question is still before us in even more dire terms.

ABC’s answer?

“Choose Community…
Join with us to build Beloved Community!”

ABC’s Giving Tree has 3 branches:

    The Founder’s Fund

    The Founder’s Fund is a crowd-sourced fund that allows ABC Members to sustain their availability of access to ABC Founders serving in the capacity of Strategic Thinking Partner Consultants. By building and maintaining the fund, ABC Members can ensure that they can sign-up for “Strategic Thinking” consultation sessions with ABC Founders without having to incur market rates that range from $400 – $1600 per consulting hour. The “Fund” will pay for consulting — ABC Founders perform a portion of the work on pro-bono, and are paid a portion from the fund. Therefore, the bigger the “Fund”, the more opportunities for ABC Members to get strategic consultations when they need it, without incurring a direct cost. Founders Fund consultants provide expert independent services and leadership, each drawing on over thirty years of professional experience in their subject areas, and their higher education and post-academic studies and insights.
