Additionally there are institutions interested in combating global warming through green energy. In Phase Two we will prepare our grant requests for funding from organizations like The Gates Foundation and The Park Foundation. Phase One is a prerequisite for Phase Two. Costs associated with Phase Two include service fees as determined by grant writers.
Monday, October 12, 2009 at 2:00PM The third stage of roll-out of the Dream Farm project will be to relocate the President and Secretary of the Dream Farm organization to Oregon. Our plan is to be located in Eugene, Canyonville or Central Point areas. The cost of this phase is anticipated to be $5,000.00 per board member or less. (Each board member will be expected to work and generate a self sufficient income as well as qualify for, and provide foster care to or adopt up to 6 children.) A financial projection will be prepared to break down the cost of creating a home suitable for the care of 12 or more children. This phase will include those costs.
Monday, October 12, 2009 at 2:05PM The goal of our fourth phase will be to procure the property to be developed into a sustainable community that will be home to approximately 216 children and 72 adults. At this time we estimate the cost of this property to be between one million dollars with no buildings. The next step will to be to build the first Dream Farm residence.
