Today I had a huge breakthrough in my understanding of SoS.
WHO WANTS TO NEVER FUNDRAISE AGAIN?
Me, me!
So I thought, why not delete that word from the SoS program structure?
We can replace it with a revolving fund!
Organizations, businesses, and even individuals can loan each SoS full-time participant the amount of their stipend. This becomes an investment. After your green job is created and you're receiving income from it, you can pay back the loan with little or no interest. Then the loan goes on to another peer who wants a green job, too.
We have to figure out the details, but I think it will be a heck of a lot easier getting you all paid and showing real results in SoS if we're being loaned the money and then paying it back with the fruits of our labor. None of this "you'll only be paid if you fundraise your stipend" stuff. You'll get paid up front, and be expected to succeed in creating a job that can then support you in the future.
