About Beacon.org Inc. -- How You Can Support Our Effort

Non-profit support for children and others needing housing

Beacon.org Inc is a newly created entity with a management staff and advisory board that has well over fifty years of combined experience in the Construction Industry, New Home Construction, Code Enforcement, Property Management, Environmental Engineering and Finance. We have created a network comprised of individuals and institutions that are considered leaders in their respective fields. Currently, we provide housing for service providers for the Developmentally Disabled, Section 8 and low income rentals. So, we are a wealth of knowledge when it pertains to design, functionality, equipment, sustainable material selection, purchasing and health & safety.

I have been motivated to initiate this transition into the non-profit sector for several reasons. First, we want to change the way this industry thinks it needs to create housing and pay for it. Secondly, we want to offer an economical approach to building functionally designed, energy efficient and cost effective to operate.

We want to bring a different approach to the table. Our mission statement is focused on children. However, this Neighborhood Stabilization Program RFP is going to be a source of income which will be leveraged to build a sustainable facility for children aging out of Foster care. We have currently been in conversation with a NY based PR firm that has agreed to work with us to raise additional capital. We have sports figures that are willing to be our voice and our advocates. We have the professional services in place to monitor, advise, and support. We have several local municipalities throughout the state willing to work with us to help improve their current housing deficiencies. Beyond all that, we have a vested interest in providing housing for the needy because it affects our immediate families.

This industry cannot depend on government subsidies to create housing; we can no longer afford to spend millions of dollars on over inflated, flamboyant projects. If we do not use our funding in the most efficient manner possible, we will be the cause of our problems and not the solution. This country is precariously close to a depression and if we don’t change the way we do business now we will ensure our current slide into the abyss and continue to strain our tax base. I for one am tired of our governing body’s thought process that a change in spending is not necessary when our State and Federal officials believe they can just raise taxes.

Our financial institutions have made it increasingly difficult to gain any type of financing because of their past greed and unscrupulous business practices. Case in point, for our group to participate in the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, I have to personally guarantee any loans associated with the project. Thankfully, I have very good credit and a very high FICO score. I am a bankers dream in terms of a “good risk candidate.” But yet, the financial institution wants to charge a higher interest rate because our company is new but I qualify for a lower rate as an individual. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

Investment opportunity

That is why we are going to offer 8% on money for private investors. We are looking to offer a 1 year note at 8% with a minimum investment of $10,000. We will need to charge a minimal bookkeeping fee of $300 or 2.5% on the invested balance. You can have access to your funds within 7 days of written notice. If we, as a true community non-profit group, are going to use government funding to build housing, we can offer our neighbors a chance to gain a decent interest rate on their money. If you are interested in participating in the rejuvenation of our local area by investing or if you are purely motivated by the highest interest rate in the market today, we thank you for your support. Please contact us at info@BeaconInc.org. For the guidelines of this program, we are only going to raise a small amount of money so please act now. If we raise our project goal of funding we will put you on our list for future consideration and as investors pull out or need increases we will contact you.

  • Minimum investment of $10,000, your investment can be accessed within 7 days of written notice.
  • Minimum book keeping fee of $300 or 2.5% on your investment, investments of 1000 increments over $10,000.
  • Money is invested for a 1 year term which can be rolled over the following year with the same rules applying.
  • If you pull your investment prior to the end of the term you will earn the 8% up to the number of days your investment was held. Example, you give notice of request on the 100th day of investment on a $10,000 note. You would earn 8% of 10,000 is $800/365 = your daily interest earned. Once you have figured out the daily interest rate earned, multiply that by the number of days invested. For this example your investment would have generated $220 of interest. Compare that to your current interest rate of 1% given at the banks which if invested for 1 yr you would have earned only $100.

Come help us rebuild our towns one home at a time! We thank everyone for their continued support and we hope that we can help someone you know soon. If you are interested in participating in our investment plan, please note on the subject line of your email “interested investor”, or click here.
