Freedom From Debt Slavery
www.prosperityuk.com/prosperity/prosperity.html 
The supply of money into the economy is the big issue which governs all the issues. Virtually all money is supplied to the economy as a debt owed to the banking system. Consequently, we see the indebtedness of people, families and countries growing daily. The present debt-based economic system perpetuates debt-slavery, and this is ultimately destructive of society, the environment and the planet. Our priority is to generate grass-roots demand for the Government, not the banking system, to create a supply of money debt-free, and to spend it, not lend it, into society on the basis of proven need. This will reduce the overall burden of debt in society, break reliance upon the banking system for the supply of money, and open potential for limitless change.

We are beings of light and energy that, by virtue of our real, inner nature, are one with everyone and everything, and we are creators who have the power to create whatever we want with our thoughts, feelings, and actions. In this outlook everyone is great, valuable, and important. This understanding, which leads to wonderfully empowering experiences, can radically improve the quality of one's life, change the perspective from which one views the world, and makes it easier for people to understand, appreciate, and co-operate with each other.

Foundations & Funding Organizations

Foundation for Purposeful Living
www.purposefulfoundation.org
For two decades, the volunteers of the Human Service Alliance (HSA) have been serving their community in various ways-first, by caring for disabled children and terminally ill adults and providing health and wellness and mediation services; and now, by conducting purposeful parenting workshops and operating one of Winston-Salem, North Carolina's most popular and critically praised restaurants, California Fresh Buffet. Through their relatively modest but regular giving, their careful stewardship of resources, their sound investing, and their unpaid labor-and with no large grants or donations from major benefactors-they have amassed a million dollar (and growing) fund with which to help support human service work around the world. The Foundation offers support to individuals, groups, and organizations that are all-volunteer or primarily volunteer-based and are involved in projects in the United States and abroad. Those motivated by selfless service and altruism and whose work is practical, inclusive, a source of inspiration to others, a demonstration of goodwill, and a response to clearly identified needs will receive serious consideration.

New Stories
www.newstories.org 
We believe many people are operating from a new vision of how deep change can occur in the world. Ordinary people everywhere are leading the way, not a privileged elite. Many of us seem to believe that if we can find clarity about what we can do, and then do it, the world will become a better place for everyone. We've moved away from grand strategies and master plans that seek to define and control particular outcomes. Many of us have started to speak of finding our own right alignment with spirit. We seek to clarify our own highest intentions, and then to act from them. In doing so, we trust that a larger, life-sustaining pattern will develop over time and that the common good will be served.
