...Other fiscal projections focus mainly on California, with over three million Philippine born people).

This web address also mentions (among other things), that the Chicago Philippine-American Chamber of Commerce (with 90 members) could likely generate half a million dollars in donations yearly. This is yet another example of donor funds potentially available.

But why would KAPAMILYA IN AMERICA, INC. obtain such large donations, while other charities collect merely "pocket change"?

The large donations would be obtained because of our (to be bonded) "Donate the Loan." system.
Most people have no cash-on-hand to help a charity significantly.
We would place in the hand of our prospective donor a large cash sum (say $10,000) -- scaled to his usual yearly income.
He would hand this $10,000 back to the charity as a donation. Two documents would be immediately made: An IOU (due at tax refund time), and an official receipt for the amount of the donation (to be filed with the yearly income tax, producing a reduction in taxes due).
As taxes are with-held from employees (or taxes are prepaid by entities having employees), the donation receipt filed with the IRS produces an overpayment (refund due) in income taxes collected.
From the government tax refund, the IOU to the charity is repaid.

The net effect of the above transactions:
a, the "cash in hand"/”recycled” $10,000 can be used over and over again, with numerous donors.
b, at tax refund time, the actual cash donation “revenues” become available.
c, on-hand funds have to be obtained by the charity, to pay employee expenses, as tax refund time is awaited.
d, businesses can donate 10% of their yearly profits to a charity…. The "Donate the Loan." mechanism applies to this donor sector also.

Meanwhile: The Philippines is poor: National poverty rate of over 30%, with some regions exceeding 50%. (This motivates the medical charity, which will ultimately be also accountable to the Philippine Department of Social Welfare and Development.)

  About the science research envisaged by the twin charities --- there is a tendency toward a "poverty of the imagination" in many places. If an effort does not have a short term utility, it does not get financed. Yet, to achieve a prosperous future in the Philippines, a “long range view” (with science and technology progress) is also necessary. Notice, that the science research proposed entails neuroscience. In the USA there are over eighty such academic departments – the Philippines only avails of utilitarian clinical neuroscience.

It is hoped that ultimately a Philippine academic university neuroscience department would be financed… with 50% of its effort going into conventional neuroscience, and the remaining 50% focusing on work with psychics and such energies.

About brain imaging psychics, etc:

a, the budget allocated for this is grossly overshadowed by funds directly slated for medical charity [68% to medical charity vs. 8.5% to do brain imaging and other research with psychics], and

b, conducting such research might increase (or decrease) the voluntary “donation packages” received. Overall, it is likely that these two tendencies (to donate or withhold donations -- based on academic involvement with psychics), would cancel each other out.

c, national prosperity is linked to science, technology and production. If new and usabe energies are discovered via our researches, the results would be hihly valuable.

 Meanwhile: Seventy percent of the populace in the Republic of the Philippines is served by government (low price or free) hospitals; as private hospitals are out of the reach of the majority. But, government hospitals are under-funded, with one of the notable results being, that they stock only the most basic medicines (and sometimes not even these). So, one of our basic charitable goals is to provide free medicines.

  Anecdotally, the governmental approach (given their own low budget, year 2009) to public health (and some doctor's response) can be recounted as:
a, When TV stations reported that at some public schools the ratio of toilet bowls to students was 1:70, the government spokesman pointed out that the student to teacher ratio can also be as high as 60:1, with two or more shifts of students being accommodated in the same facilities. So, building classrooms [but not toilets] takes precedence.
b, The flagship national hospital (Philippine General Hospital ) with 1000 charity and 500 paying beds decided not pay their water or electricity bills at all during last year, in order to be able to provide for their (desperate) patient base, in the immediate.

 To address the low local pay of doctors and nurses in the country (brain drain and a significant fall of the number of newly enrolling medical students), augmentation of doctors and nurses pay in the Philippines is planned by our twin charities, along with scholarships.

 Of course, just like we would like to establish personal contacts in America, one of the first people who we would (again) like contact in the Philippines (as actual cash, via donations are on hand) are Drs. Willie and Liza Ong. (Dr. Willie Ong also founded the organization M.I.N.D.  – the Movement of Nationalistic and Idealistic Doctors. Therein, he tries to slow the “brain drain” of doctors leaving for abroad.)

 KAPAMILYA MEDICAL AND SCIENTIFIC CHARITY, INC. would improve the pay of doctors and medical workers in the Philippines, as well as providing scholarships for medical education… Thus assisting the Philippines: reducing some of the “brain drain” via bettering economic conditions at home.

  To quote from an article about the Drs. Ong, in The Philippine Star newspaper (and remembering that  20,000 piso =  about $450)...

  “While roaming the squatter areas shooting Makabayang Duktor for Season 2, we met Hedeliza, a 40-year-old mother afflicted with a large and bleeding myoma in her uterus. She urgently needed an operation and five bags of blood in order to live. She also needed P20,000 for the operation. We paid for her operation and guided her until she got well. Now she is alive and walking. A miracle in saving a life for P20,000,” Willie said.
He added: “When I saw Hedeliza, I knew this was the template God wanted us to use for the Makabayang Duktor Foundation.”
And so started the template for their Makabayang Duktor Foundation again with Boy Abunda as honorary chairman. The couple envisions this to be a new version of Kapwa Ko Mahal Ko. It’s similar to Gawad Kalinga’s P50,000 to build a home. But for Makabayang Duktor Foundation, it’s P20,000 to save a life.
Yes, believe it or not but with P20,000, patients with conditions like thyroid and neck masses, myoma ovarian cysts, abdominal surgeries like appendectomy, gallstones, hernias, benign masses, childhood conditions and emergency surgeries can be healed. The only requirement is the patient must have a 90 percent chance of survival.
Realistically though, there are cases that cannot be covered with just P20,000 like serious cancers that have widely spread, very old, sick and weak patients, very high risk surgeries that will not lead to a productive life or expensive heart and brain surgeries.
Makabayang Duktor is committed to finding a cheaper and cost effective way to save lives by getting competent and trustworthy doctors to guarantee that money is not wasted."

  So, for KAPAMILYA IN AMERICA, INC. to have an MD on our Board of Directors would surely be beneficial; (and possibly be satisfying to such a volunteer), as the Philippines is assisted.

 Should you (or one of your friends), be interested in our charity: we would welcome such a response.

  Thank you.

  Sincerely:
Ivan Lay, Organizer for KAPAMILYA IN AMERICA, INC.

P.S.

The above process of forming a charity in the USA that would funnel finds into the Philippines is a step wise process.

  ** Incorporating KAPAMILYA IN AMERICA, INC. [KIA] is almost trivial. (This needs three to five dedicated volunteers.)

There are two more steps to be accomplished, before USA originated donations can be distributed in the Philippines by the sister organization KAPAMILYA MEDICAL AND SCIENTIFIC CHARITY, INC..

  ** Obtain the 501(c)(3) “tax exempt charity” status from the Internal Revenue Service for KAPAMILYA IN AMERICA, INC.. This process can take anywhere between three months to two years.

[http://www.ncnonprofits.org/faq/HowToStartA501(c)(3)Nonprofit.pdf]

  The IRS wants a three year budget. (This shows the scale and planned growth pattern of the planned organization.) The IRS also wants to know the names and the yearly salary of the five highest paid employees, as well as the honorarium paid to the Board of Directors of the charity. Due to the length of the IRS approval process, employee names of the sort “John Doe #1” or “Regional Director” are likely to be acceptable, as proxies at initial filing time.

  ** Find the initial loans/donations to provide for a full year of operations for KAPAMILYA IN AMERICA, INC.. This, since the “usable” received donations (the paid IOU-s), are obtained at tax refund time. (While operating expense for the charity is an ongoing process.)

Initial financing is non trivial.

Yet, when KAPAMILYA IN AMERICA, INC. obtains the IRS ruling that grants “tax exempt charity” status: most of the initial operating funds can be realized as tax deductible donations from groups, businesses and Filipino-Americans of means and goodwill.
