OUR PHILOSOPHY
LIFT is not a political organization. We have a simple purpose - to stimulate economies worldwide. In a sense, LIFT should be thought of as the mother of all charities. Without economic prosperity it becomes impossible to have any other types of charities. Think about it. We must first have money before we can give it away. That is what worldwide enablement is about. That is why it is imperative that you give generously especially during recessionary times.

Some people wonder why we don't just think in terms of giving to our own. We do plan on it. But they wonder why we have a global perspective. Outside of pure selflessness, it is because if other countries and states are prosperous then they will be capable of buying from us. When they gain we gain. Think about that too.

At the same time it is our aim to act locally while thinking globally. There are several model cities where good and fruitful efforts have gone into assisting small and microbusinesses. Take, for example, the greater Boston area. The Pioneer Institute has tracked 51 unique programs all designed to stimulate the microbusiness sector in Massachusetts. We need to find successful models and duplicate them in every city, every state, every nation. It is our intention to work with local government and local business to make sure that successful models are being duplicated. LIFT will provide information and serve as a hub for small and microbusiness information, networking and stimulus.
