Policy

Article I

Purpose

Bridges,

Inc. (the Co rporation ) when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or

arrangement that might benefit

the

private interest

of an

might

result in a possible excess benefit transaction. This policy is intended to supplement but

no t

replace any applicable state and federal laws governing

conflict

of interest applicable to

nonprofit and charitable organizations.

Article II Definitions

director, principal officer,

or

member

of a

Part IV - Narrative Description of Activities

Building International Bridges, Inc. (the Corporation ) w as formed to further cross-

cultural

comm unication, w ithin the United States and internationally. The obstacles to

intercultural communications are lack of equipment, lack of education about other cultures and

lack of information. The Corpo ration seeks to remo ve those obstacles by providing equipm ent,

training an d

information

to the

v arious organizations

to

w hich

it

provides funds.

A key ob jective of the C orporation is to bring people together via the Internet. The

founders of the C orporation are inspired in part by the international relations w ork of D r. Brooks

Emeny, author of

Great Powers in

World

Politics

(1935).

By building international bridges, as

D r. E meny did in the 1950s as a participant in people-to-people initiatives, people of this century

ca n

connect and overcome obstacles caused by cross-cultural miscom munication.

O ne of the

Corporation's goals

is to

bring

th e

Internet

to

homes that have

no

computers

or

internet connection.

By

doing

so, the

Corporation aims

to

connect

people in

different cultures

(either internationally or within a country), thereby overcoming barriers of language, cost,

distance

an d

technology.

In so

doing,

the

Corporation will provide

the

technology

an d

expertise

to fill the

gaps that other organizations

do not offer.

These activities support

the Corporation's

goal to

further international links

an d

building international bridges

fo r

learning, research,

an d

cultural respect

an d

exchange.

A s

stated elsewhere within this application, the Corporation

wil l

be making donations

only to

international

not for

profit companies

or

U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations

that support

furthering cross-cultural communications. These areas presently include (1) greater Fort

Lauderdale,

Florida

and (2)

West Sussex, England. Over time, additional international

an d

U.S.

areas w ill be added.

Funds

generally will not be earmarked except for general operating purposes, unless a

special fundraising

or

matching program

is

involved.

A t this time, no specific dates have been determined, although contributions will be made

on

a q uarterly basis (at the end of each quarter).

The

bulk

of

Corporation's time will

be

spent determining, making,

an d

following

up on

beq uests. Periodic site reviews

wi l l

also occur. O utside of bookkeeping, these items will

consume all of the

C orporation's time.

Th e Corporation will be funded mostly from mailing an d telephone appeals fo r

donations. Additionally,

a

small amount

of

funds could

be

derived

by

offering workshops

that

educate

organizations about removing

th e

obstacles

to

intercultural communications.

In

particular,

these workshops will provide training

to

overcome

difficulties

that arise

in

diverse

com munities and thereby promote intercultural com m unication.
