Billionaires Wanted!
Donations and Funding
Our Initial Fundraising Goal is
$15,000,000.00. Although this amount would
seem to be a huge sum of money, it is in actuality only covering
basic startup costs, staffing, facilities, and basic research
expenses. This project will NOT be completed over night, in fact,
this project may take anywhere from a decade to several decades to
complete depending on funding and research results, although we hope
for faster results than could be achieved from any government
program of similar ambition. We are completely dependent on Private
and Corporate donations for our existence and our success or failure
to achieve our goals.
