Cell UNO is complete!

We finally did it. The first Cell in a long line has come to completion. For now, it is called Cell UNO. We made our first official donation yesterday at a whopping 152 dollars! Thats awesome! It went to an organization fighting Child Diabetes. It was Alan's first donation (YAY! ALAN!) and he chose diabetes.

All mighty institutions have acronyms. Here are a few I have come up with:
DC- Donor Chooser...as in, if its your first time, you have to be the DC.
DCO- Donor Chosen Organization...since Alan was the DC, he had control over the DCO, but he didnt choose the NAACP
MC- my cell, a cell you founded...its hard to beleive that in only 2 years we have both racked up over 30 MCs and now we are giving enough money every cycle to feed 100s of people.

The guidelines of the Genesis Group arent set in stone of course, but for now the current ruling is that you must be active in your initial cell for at least 2 cycles (4 months) before you can leave the cell and create a new one. Also, your cell must be completed before you leave. Cells will consist of no more than 4 people, and once a year (the cycle before the end of the year) any cells that you founded will donate to your DCO. It doesnt matter whether or not you are still active in that cell (you may have left to start new ones). The 2 cycle limit also means that you will have been the DC 3 times (your first time, 8 weeks later, and then 8 weeks later). If you get 5 MCs I'll buy you a steak dinner.

Soon, we will be giving more than the United Way! More importantly though, we are conscious of it and we are aware.

First Official Donation

The Genesis Group has made its first official donation using the Paypal account! The organization is a group called The Surfrider Foundation. Their main goal is to preserve our nation's beaches, mainly using the people who seem to care about them the most...surfers. Please checkout their website as they are quite a large presence on our coast lines and any progress to reverse man's negative effects are probably a direct result of their work.

be great.

The Genesis Group is a donation pool, that bi-monthly makes a contribution to a non-proft organization. All money is raised in increments of 10% of the salary recieved by its founder at the time of founding. These $38 donations go into a pool, so that together, our dollars can make more of a difference. Members make these donations on a regular basis, not just giving once or twice, but consciously giving over the long run. For more info, leave a comment with your email adress.

It has begun.

This is it! It has begun.

Soon we will have our first donation.

Stay tuned!
