Catholic Entrepreneurs Organization™
The mission of the Catholic Entrepreneurs Organization is to help business owners, executives, and employees of companies whose ownership and management has a foundation in the Catholic Faith to make their businesses more ethical, productive, profitable, and connected to the community.
As an organization, we will share experiences, professional development opportunities, social/ networking opportunities, and encourage fellow members to develop sales, vendor, and marketing partnerships with each other. We will also discuss ethical dilemmas and the application of Catholic Social teaching on business operations and our business ecosystem.
Serviam™
Serviam is a service where we help coordinate the volunteer efforts of benefactors and the public. We setup 12 regular volunteer service projects each year that allow our members to answer the question, "Lord, when did we see you.... " You will know the exact dates and times that you specifically did something that benefited the kingdom of God.
SavingThePlanet™
We offer public educational programs and experiences designed to inspire greater awareness and sensitivity to environmental concerns in order to change daily consumer habits that adversely impact the Planet. Our education programs are free. We depend upon donations to the J24 Charity Trust to aid in support of our programs and operations.
For business owners, we offer free reviews of job sites and retail locations so that you can become considered an environmentally friendly organization in accordance with our standards and advertise it accordingly.
We offer signage to encourage the reduction of the use of plastic bags, plates, napkins, plastic lids, straws, etc. We encourage the use of less packaging materials.
Youth Education & STEM Programs
The classroom of today can not be the same as the classroom of 50 years ago. The benefactors of the J24 Charity Trust believe that all human beings need access to quality education, educational technology, and safe learning environments.
Legacy Advice Network™
The Legacy Advice Network is a probono public education initiative. We use financial and legal professionals to speak to community groups about the importance of planning for death and the survival of the family. 50% of people die without a Last Will & Testament. 70% do not have Life Insurance, and most of America do not have more than $10K in savings. The failure to plan and save is a major cause of generational poverty in the USA.
Innovation & Entrepreneurship
Our economy and the future depends upon entrepreneurship and innovation. 75% of what we use today was invented in the last 50 years. We have 8 billion people on the planet. We need solutions to help us all live better together.
Invention and innovation is not the product of just a single person. Every known inventor had a team that helped him/her to achieve the goal. Every person and child on the planet has ideas that could change the world, if they would just have the courage to invent them.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation are not restricted to just a single gender, male or female or a certain race (Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, Asian).
Assistance to Immigrants, both Individuals and Families.
The United States is a nation of immigrants. Immigrants bring talent and diversity to our cities and our industry. Every human being is entitled to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Many are fleeing communities of terror and abuse. Many seek amnesty and protection from nations who discriminate based on religious, ethnic, or racial profiles. As Thomas Jefferson cited, " Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
Life & Legacy™ Planning
The Legacy Advice Network provides this free public education initiative that seeks to encourage the public to improve financial literacy and financial behaviors.
This program uses materials created by the National Financial Educators Council and the Association of Financial Educators to teach strategies to achieve greater personal financial security and promote the development of generational wealth. These lessons are available through EventBrite, at local community centers and restaurants, offered through school systems, and in the workplace environment.
Life $aving$ Plan™
Learn to control and use your money well. Develop Financial Literacy Skills that encourage a greater level of savngs. Through some simple saving and spending skills, you can save the money you need to live a comfortable secure lifestyle. Generational poverty and financial errors do not have to be a continuing cycle. Our facilitator can work with the group and individuals to achieve financial freedom and a rewarding career.
These sessions are provided free to the participants.
We provide you the materials. We offer both online and in-person education sessions. There is no cost to participate in the educational events.
The Charity & Cause That You Care About™
Because of the legal design of the J24 Charity Trust, we are capable of doing so much more than the typical Charity Gift or Donor Advised Fund. We are a 501c3 organization which makes us a great alternative to a Family Foundation.
Our Board of Directors are all volunteers, and we do not seek to make a profit in our operations. Our purpose is to give away 99.5% of all contributions, whether through financial assistance or by providing programing to our target recipients.
When you contribute, you can tell us who you want the money to go to. Unless there is a concern from our Board of Directors, we can add that organization to our Dedicated Giving List.
