About the Trust:

The Peace Portal Humanitarian Trust (PPHT) was created when ShareMyBiz, granted a majority of the company shares to vest the Trust for purposes of funding Peace Portal Projects, and other pre-established organizations. The Trust, and Peace Portal Projects are also supported by Global Digital Publishing, which makes a donation to a Peace Portal group every time a Digital Product is sold in the FDU Game. The PPHT is also supported by other for-profit entities participating in FDU.

Purpose of Trust: Support the continued work of the organizations listed as co-beneficiaries; the long-term goal being the construction of local, regional, and global sustainable development plans which leverage and reflect the potentials of the Information Age technologies now at our disposal.

Emphasis is placed on peer-to-peer networks, ICT placements, OLPC type computers, educational curriculum, health care using tele-medicine, agro-forestry, and regionally designed sustainable local food security.

Beneficiaries’ have been chosen for their long term ability to integrate sustainable development through collaboration amongst the various multi-disciplined sectors, institutions, participating stakeholders, and effected individuals participating in, or effected by, the good works of the Trust.

Concept ( 1 items )

Concept Background:
The Peace Portal was created as the non-profit vanguard of the Free Digital Universe, as a way to fortify the efforts of Peace-promoting Organizations in leveraging the tools of the Information Age so we may address poverty, the environment, globalization, and lack of critical life resources for half the planets population.

The concept for Peace Portal includes marrying a virtual Game with a Information Age economic model that funds a variety of humanitarian groups over a wide geographic spread, thereby increasing the overall power and effectiveness of each individual group in a unified enterprise community.

Concept Primary Goal:
To identify, develop, implement, and sustain promising practices that address the core of the issue - the Industrial Age Economic Model - with innovative and multidisciplinary approaches to reduce persistent poverty.

Working with Peace Portal platform partners, and independent Project Partners, our "Sustainability Council" has been empowered to identify critical issues, seize special opportunities, research issues to determine future program directions, and promote cross funding of projects.

Creating pathways to economic security, self-sufficiency and sustainability is crucial for everyone, most especially young people who are inheriting a world struggling to find a balance.

In summer 2008, when the Prosperity Program comes online, Peace Portal and many of it's projects and partners will become self-funded via donations from the Prosperity Program sponsors whom are making a donation to Peace Portal every time a digital sale is made on the platform. Additionally, other built-in fundraising proceeds for non-profits are realized even if that organization is inactive; what is great about Peace Portal is that should a specific project be needed to compliment other projects, this fund allows us to activate and leverage that resource without all the normal re-tape of getting these types of activities funded.
