 GOOD LUCK on getting gifts or lenders' funds.

When that approach fails to bring sufficient revnue, try the KIVA.org approach. When that fails try social investing laws such as the UK has. Please read fully and carefully the website devoted to this way of raising funds for social causes:

The purpose of this publication is to explain
how the IPS format is being used as a vehicle for
community investment. It starts by identifying
some of the unique attributes of IPS legislation,
such as democratic control and the limits on
shareholding, and explains how these attributes
support community investment. It also explains
the importance of raising share capital for any
enterprise, before exploring the special qualities
of ‘withdrawable share capital’, which is another
unique attribute of IPS legislation, and a key to
the success of this format.
