Positive Purpose International, LLC and The Positive Purpose Foundation staff web page.

Our names are Jon and Michelle Donahue. We recently started The Positive Purpose Foundation at NHF to help others realize their potential and exercise their purposes for life in practical ways everyday. We have been married since 1998, and both of us served in varied capacities which have taught us a lot about recognizing positive purpose within even the negative situations of life. We want the foundation to support any moral

ideas, projects and efforts that promote the irreplaceable value of each human soul. We also want to place a specific emphasis on international orphan care and adoption as we realize that each child needs and deserves a family to nurture them as they grow into people of purpose. You may also want to take a look at our for-profit business that we have been developing over the past few years.

We will have subcontracted and volunteer staff that assist us with our writing, marketing, networking, errands, research, and general office work. We will be adding some of their photos as we go. We hope to generate enough income to actually hire permanent staff eventually. We will keep you updated as we go. In the meantime, you may view our list of current subcontracting needs by clicking here. Please let us know if you'd feel qualified to help us with any of them, and we will consider negotiating a contract with you.

We are developing a network of international special speakers who can come to your church, school, organization, or event & speak about how they are learning to live out their purposes on a daily basis. All of them have unique stories & enjoy sharing what they have learned with others. Our special speakers are also a part of our fund raising team called "Harvesters". They speak on behalf of the foundation in an effort to raise money for our ongoing projects. There are no set fees when you schedule one of our speakers. Your organization simply provides expenses associated with travel, lodging & and meals of the trip, which is relatively inexpensive as all foundation speakers have been taught the importance of good stewardship. (This reimbursement is the only sum that is written directly to the speaker themselves.) After a special speaker has delivered their message or lesson, they will be available at a product & information table near the entrance of your organization. There will be a love offering box on the table so that individuals & organization officials can put in an offering as they feel led. (Love offering checks are not made out to the speaker, but rather the foundation itself. Cash is acceptable but our accountability policy for the special speakers requires that givers of cash gifts obtain a receipt from us at the time of donation.) Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions & purchase products associated with the speaker and/or The Positive Purpose Foundation, including access to several FREE resources.

The Harvester program was designed by The National Heritage Foundation, which is our parent organization, to motivate and reward those individuals who would work to raise funds on behalf of a charity. A small percentage (20%) of the funds that each individual Harvester raises themselves, is set aside in a special account by the NHF. That Harvester then gets to decide how that percentage of funds is used. It can go to the foundation they are working for, go into a different foundation, begin a foundation of their own, and a portion can even be set aside to compensate them for the number of hours they devote to the fund raising, should they so choose.

The Positive Purpose Foundation is a sub-foundation underneath the authority of our parent organization called The National Heritage Foundation. The NHF has its own board of directors with fiduciary responsibilities, & they manage all aspects of our sub-foundation's financial accounting & disbursement. Although The Positive Purpose Foundation does not need a board of directors, we have elected to have an "Advisory Panel". This panel will be made up of like-minded individuals who help us brainstorm. They will have no official responsibilities nor liabilities as simple advisors. Pray for us as we seek the right advisors for our organization.
