What is private gifting?

Private gifting is a concept that is embraced by a private group of individuals and has been in existence for many years. Our private activity does not involve network marketing, multi-level marketing, or a business or commercial activity. There are no business transactions, investments and/or securities involved in this activity. There is no business or company name or location and there are no directors, officers, shareholders or principals. Individuals simply support each other in a team concept and help change lives.

The concept of private gifting is based upon the fact that both American and Canadian citizens have the Constitutional right to gift property, cash and other assets, and are subject to the rules and regulations established by the laws. The U.S. gifting rules are found in the IRS Tax Code, Title 26, Sections 2501-2504 and 2511, and Canadian Tax Code, Sections 143.3 and 62.0.

The IRS regulations (as of 2009) states that one or more individuals can give a gift to another individual of up to $13,000 each per calendar year without any tax liability to either the giver or receiver of the gift, because the tax on the gift has already been paid. These gifts are not included in the gross income of the recipient.


How did this concept begin?

Giving private gifts to one another is an expression of kindness, which has been going on for centuries. Governments have allowed its practice for individuals to share their wealth with families, friends and others. It has been a means of helping and blessing others on special occasions or when the need arises.

Many cultures gift as a matter of course. Asian, Jewish and South American communities gift individuals within their race and/or culture on a regular basis so that they may start a business or buy a home. They in turn gift someone else to help enhance their lives. Habitat for Humanity is a great example of private gifting. Everyone participates with their time, their talents and materials to build a home for someone else. Some participate with a hammer, some with nails, some with food and others with the monetary gifts to purchase the supplies, but all create a team that works together to bless someone's life.


How does the gifting activity work?

Individuals share using a basic concept that "All things must be done in order" and follow the Universal Law of Sowing and Reaping - "when you give, you shall receive." This follows God's Law of Reciprocity. "Give and it shall be given unto you." This activity is offered only by means of an exclusive one-to-one invitation. When someone accepts the invitation, they move through a natural progression from the giving to the receiving stage of the activity. In this activity, there is no fixed hierarchy of individuals who have an advantageous position or unfair advantage over new participants.


Who can participate?

As stated above, this is a private sharing group, and is offered only through an exclusive invitation to individuals over 18 years of age. You are invited to learn more about our activity and become part of something extraordinary.


Is this a company?

There is no company - we are a team of individuals, and we give to one another and other teammates. We are not a business or an investment. No company can withhold or misplace our gift. We are totally in charge of our own gifts and gift directly one to another and work for the betterment of the team.


How can you give to a stranger?

How many times have you given to United Way, the Salvation Army and other charities? You don't know who will eventually benefit from your gift. The only difference here is that this person will start out as a stranger, but you will get to know them as part of the team, work with them and perhaps develop new friendships. We all have met some of the most wonderful people and have made a lot of new friends across the country and the world. These people are giving, they like team dynamics--they are people we want to meet and befriend.


Is this a pyramid?

No, this is not a pyramid scheme. A pyramid is associated with a company or a business. We are not a company, just a private gifting community. We have no sales quotas, we do not sell positions and we do not have an ever-widening base to the structure, which just keeps going and going. A pyramid never allows anyone coming in on the bottom to ever reach the top. Everyone gives the same gifts, works together in team dynamics and receives the same gifts. In a pyramid, only those at the top get the profit while those at the bottom never reach the top. In a pyramid, people can and have lost their money. A pyramid is also not to be confused with "Network Marketing". Although Network Marketing is a legal and viable source of income, when was the last time you, or anyone you know, was able to start at the bottom of the company and reach the top position in the company? NEVER! We are neither a networking company nor a pyramid scheme.


Why would I want to participate?

Gifting has changed countless lives for the better. People who were about to lose their cars and homes have been saved from financial ruin, college educations have been made possible, and nearly forgotten dreams have come true, all from gifting. Gifting is the fastest way to generate cash.


Do I have to share this with family and friends?

No. Since our gifting community was setup for charity fundraising, whatever charity you select should be eager to provide you with a list of contacts to share in this activity.


Can I do this part-time?

Yes. Many people work this activity around their existing schedule. It's a matter of setting priories and fitting this into the nooks and crannies of your current lifestyle.


Do I have to be a salesperson to do this program?

No. There is no selling, no solicitation, no pressure and no coercion. It is simply a matter of sharing what is in your heart, of sharing your own reasons for becoming a participant, and your own experiences. We will answer questions for your guests, therefore you don't have to do any explaining.


Is it legal?

Yes. Churches, civic groups and people from around the world have participated in organized gifting for over 300 years. Laws state; that it is legal for individuals to exchange gifts. In the United States we have the Preamble, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to protect a private citizen's rights to earn, pay taxes and give away property and cash as long as it is done according to the laws and codes of this country.


Can I join at any level to begin?

You can join at either level or a combination. For example: $500 + $1000 + $2000 for a total of $3500. We have other levels and are careful to keep the cumulative total under the legal (as of 2009) limit of $13,000.


Is this structure considered a board or a matrix?

No. We use a one-up structure. This structure allows its participants to get into the receiving position quickly. It out performs ALL matrixes and boards and is a mathematically superior structure.


How do I get started in this activity?

Get back with the member who invited you and they will personally walk you through our simple registration procedure. You will need their member ID Number and the password to our website to register.


Do I need to select a charity to get started?

This gifting community was created specifically to help with charity fundraising. You are free to choose a single charity, distribute the money to several charities or create your own charity. Give as much as the generosity in your heart.
