Hello and welcome –

Is Trinity Explorations an incorporated, registered and insured entity such that it can do business within current financial/legal protocols? I assume you’re courting investors of one sort or another. Do you have a three or five year business plan that you could share with interested people or groups?

I ask these questions because I’ve had some experience with OTG community building and collaborative growth-oriented enterprises and, while the ideas and leadership can be inspiring, it’s the core legal structure and ability to command funding that typically strangles even the best projects.

A corporate profile and posture can provide a substantial springboard to expand on. It keeps groups like banks and Federal bureaus from regarding (and disregarding) you as a collection of misguided antisocial bohemians. JMHO

Try to locate SCORE training in your area.
[SCORE or the SCORE Association was previously known as the Service Corps of Retired Executives, but is now recognized as SCORE, "Counselors to America's Small Business." It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides free business mentoring services to entrepreneurs in the United States. The organization also presents business workshops and seminars for a fee. Business mentoring services are provided by both active and retired business executives and entrepreneurs who donate their time and expertise as mentors to assist new and established small businesses. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration.]

You may want to consider forming a Not For Profit corporation. As such, you may be able to contact groups and certified individuals in your state that regularly provide training in emergency response and other types of community support issues (EMT's, fire & rescue, health, environmental stewardship, etc.). You (your 'learning' corp.) could work to arrange for free use of local public facilities like libraries, churches, community centers, schools, etc and as an NFP corp., host (not conduct) certified training sessions. This would get your name out there and you would get to know and be known by people in the state E/R and associated training community and by groups that have rooms available for training… builds your credibility.

Mean while, begin to establish your own group of certified instructors (states usually have instructor programs). Once you are a known and established entity, you can conduct your own training sessions (possibly using the same free-use facilities) with your own certified people where you once hosted others.

Your NFP may be eligible for grant money via various state and community programs. As you grow publically, also grow privately with a membership. Your members are your private community… trained, capable and specialized. It takes time, work and planning… what doesn't?

Well, you may want to begin simply as a community action group and get the basics established and introduce the more focused agenda as you progress. Learn from the liberal community action groups. They begin very grassroots and fundamental and pick up sponsors for their more aggressive agenda once they have good footing. I don’t think you’ll pick up much of the type of backing you’ll need if you lay Agenda 21 and other NWO speculatives on your initial presentation table.
