The Laban Johnson Group, LLC

On New Years Day, January 1, 2010 the Laban Johnson Group, LLC launched a new initiative called UpliftAnother.com, a free community-driven networking service which connects individual members of the public to causes and needs they care about most, giving ordinary people the opportunity to do extraordinary things.

UpliftAnother.com’s mission is to help answer the call for funds and volunteers and provide material support for charitable organizations which are making the greatest difference, so charity workers can focus more of their time and energies on charity work.

UpliftAnother.com’s operations fall into four main categories:

* Networking: Engaging effectively in social networking to build and strengthen personal and professional relationships, forming strong alliances among generous people built around the common goal of doing more to help others.
* Campaigns: Organizing ‘viral’ fund-raising and awareness campaigns, aggregating, organizing and disbursing relevant news and information to engage individuals and businesses to take action and provide resources to respond to immediate needs in the local, national and international communities.
* Training, Leadership and Professional Development: Encouraging volunteerism and community leadership, while creating and exploring new opportunities for social entrepreneurs and others in our expanding network.
* Fund Management: Building and maintaining a charitable equity fund, into which revenues shall be donated to make increasingly larger grants to charities which we believe are making the greatest impact, as well as providing venture capital for new initiatives which we believe will make the greatest impact in the quality of lives of others.
