DONATE RESOURCES

LAUTAN MEGAH SHIP FUNDING - PARTNERS WELCOME

Supporters open to a more 'hands-on' long term involvement may make a 'soft investment' in the company we will establish to own the Lautan Megah. Soft investors may be corporations, individuals or groups who are able to make a minimum commitment of US$20,000 for a 10 year period interest and dividend free. Our target is to raise $200,000 - $300,000 from 10 to 15 subscribers for shares in the ship-owning company.

This type of 'soft investment' is not a tax deductible donation and sponsors/soft investors will be offered the option of prominent logo placement on the ship and on our website. We will work with soft investors to publish a custom corporate responsibility page featuring Island Aid activities onboard the ship and in target communities. In this way corporations or business people can utilize advertising or corporate responsibility budgets at low long term cost while conserving their capital.

Our team have prepared a detailed proposal for circulation to interested parties so please feel free to forward this link to anyone you think may be keen to be involved. http://www.mentawai.com/Island Aid/
