This is a project inviting companies and individuals to lend, at no interest, one million dollars to provide houses and jobs to those without them and others struggling with poverty across the United States of America. To keep track and for referrence of those who joined, the funds raised, listings of benefactors and details of houses built will be updated and posted in public through The BenefactorProject website.
The list of benefactors include Pres. George H.W. Bush, Simon Cowell, Sen. Trent Lott, George Lindemann Jr. , and other famous personalities.
This project is still continuing to expand with Americans reaching out to fellow Americans. Here's a quote from the person spearheading the project:
"I call it The Benefactor Project because no matter what your station in life we all can do something to help each other. With what we have, what we know or just how we can inspire or encourage. If you have a desire to help a fellow American here is my humble proposal offering what I have learned."
