TI has also provided a tax exempt umbrella for exciting programs created by friends and associates, such as the Co-op America Foundation (spun off in 1988), Space Bridge Division (which facilitated the creation of two-way TV programs between Soviet and American citizens in the early 1980s), Barred Rock Fund (a social investment fund begun by Ben Cohen spun off in 2001), Spirit in Business (spun off in 2000), and many more. Today our programs are the Wisdom Leadership Initiative, an association of women executives with spiritual values led by Karen Buckley ( wisdomleadership.org ); the Amber Chand Foundation, providing educational programs to women in refugee camps and other challenging situations around the world led by Amber Chand (amberchand.com); the Cyberlore Foundation, providing funding to social change organizations from royalties from games produced by Cyberlore Studios led by Lester Humphreys; Sea Change, a radio show providing information on social changes happening in our communities led by Bill Baue and Francesca Rhearnnon; and others.
For information on each of these programs go to their individual websites.
Your financial support will continue the work of building common good corporations and investment funds. They are organizations that freely choose to give priority to the common good by placing a cap on the return on equity; the excess each year is permanently set aside and managed by the firm for the common good as they judge best forever.
