Abstract
In that report we describe activities that we have done this fall for implementation the first steps of RHCB project. We made a database of enterprises with whom we can collaborate to provide incentives for volunteers. We corresponded with about 100 businesses and get four official letters finally. Our first business partners: Cocktail Travels (www.cocktail-tour.ru), Novoline (www.novoirk.ru), Parador Project (www.irkutskcitylodge.com) and Brigantina. Then we made a database of charities to help whom is the prime goal of our project. We made the modeling of web-site and asked professional web agency to estimate it. We provided budgeting and forecasts of our project: Net Present Value will be equal to 120,913 USD, Internal Rate of Return 58% after about 3 years. If we are chosen as winners, we will be looking for an investor who can provide 12,277 USD for RHCB project. If we don’t win the grand prize of Challenge Future work we will be glad to discuss all the details of partnership with an investor who can provide 39,277 USD in total during first three years.

Abstract
Rush Hot Chili Brains is a social enterprise which feature is a usage of modern technologies and psychology of fun for the purpose of improving life of those citizens of Irkutsk, who are in need. "Be Kind with Fun in Mind" is a Rush Hot Chili Brains' campaign designed to create a special network to unite volunteers, charity funds, young activists and socially responsible entrepreneurs of the city in order to promote, improve and coordinate local volunteering events and raising of donations. This network will use levers of socializing, entertaining, financial and moral stimuli to encourage people to participate in volunteering, donating and building better society based on principles of kindness and sharing. This goal and the strategy of its' implementation is what links our project with the year 2030, while the ways of making this dream come true is what links our project with both fun and meaning. So, project is designed to make its impact into sustainable world which features are the mutual readiness to help and involvement of different people in a common joy. Plan of implementation includes creating social network in Internet, contracting local charity funds, signing local business for making discounts for volunteers, attracting those volunteers and, after all, starting the party of doing social work and granting all kinds of rewards for this hard, but important job. This network will be designed to grant benefits to all parties involved - people in need, charity funds, volunteers, entrepreneurs, government and society. The challenges that network will face are attraction of partners and volunteers, lack of website output, problem of social indifference. To minimize these risks, we prepared a marketing complex and risk-management strategy. To measure our possible position among other volunteering organizations, we implemented Competitive Profile Matrix tool that showed that our project - if to take rate of innovations as a key performance indices - could have #1 position. In the sum of all indicates (not only innovations), we could become #3. Our project will generate cash by means of advertisement on the web-site and donations. We will hire a few employees. Their salary will be obligated by tax. Other money will go to support volunteering programs and charity organizations. If revenue varies from 2000 USD to 30,000 USD per year, the donations of our project to the charities will be from 1,100 USD to 20,000 USD per year in a long term period.

Thanks, Piril!
Indeed, lack of coordination is the reason why many kind initiatives fail.

I like the idea! It is very important to gather projects and people in one place. The easier people will be notified about events the more willing they will be to be a part of it!

Sachi, your idea is generous.
I don't appeal to this Challenge as to competition since competitors are peolle who sharelimited resources - parts of market, parts of revenues, attention of customers, money of investors. So, there should be the third party to fight for.
But there are no third party in this challennge, and no limited resources as we can vote as many times as we want.
So, we are not competitors - we are partners!
