The 50-cent pledge
that ends world hunger,
the water crisis, poverty
& funds free education.
If just 15% of global businesses pledge 0.5% of revenue — not profit, revenue — the math is sufficient to solve world hunger, the global water crisis, extreme poverty, AND fund free education for every child in need. Every year. Permanently. With money left over.

Every business can afford 10 cents per $100.
We are not asking you to be a philanthropist. We're not asking you to sacrifice margin or set aside a charity budget. We're asking you to redirect 10 cents from every $100 your business earns — toward feeding a child in need.
That's less than a paperclip. Less than a postage stamp. Less than the rounding error on most invoices. And it funds one real meal, for one real family, through Feeding America — every single time.
As your revenue grows, your impact grows automatically. No campaigns. No extra decisions. No guilt. Your growth and the world's healing become permanently the same thing.
End Goal — 0.5% per $200 earned:
Saved
100% of your pledge goes directly to Feeding America — one of the world's most transparent hunger relief networks. Zero overhead. Zero admin. Every cent counted and reported monthly.
This is how it solves
everything. In one decade.
The world's humanitarian crises are not a resource shortage. They are a redirection problem. SRC 2.0 is the simplest, most scalable redirection mechanism ever proposed — because it requires no sacrifice, no government, no charity drive, and no billionaire. Just a business decision.
Poverty · EducationAll solved — every year — permanently — with surplus
Why Revenue, Not Profit?
Profit can be erased, delayed, or hidden entirely by accounting decisions. Revenue is the first line on every invoice — honest, immediate, and impossible to manipulate. If your business earned money this month, the impact happens this month. No CFO can delay it. No difficult quarter can erase it. Revenue is the only number that cannot lie.
Why Start at 0.1% — Not 0.5%?
Because we want every business on Earth to say yes — today. 0.1% from a million businesses beats 0.5% from 100,000. Participation at scale is the engine. Start where you are. Build toward the goal. Every pledge compounds. The mission reaches critical mass faster when everyone starts — at any level — than when a few perfectionists wait until they can pledge more.
Why 15% of Businesses?
15% is the tipping point — the mathematical threshold where combined revenue redirection reaches the scale needed to fund permanent solutions to all three global crises simultaneously, every year. We don't need every business. We need enough. And enough is achievable — because every single business that joins moves the needle toward that threshold.
Start at 0.1%.
Build toward 0.5%.
Every business starts where it is. Every percentage point you grow multiplies your impact and your brand story. The end goal is 0.5% — but the journey begins with the decision to start at all. That decision is what changes everything.
The entry point. No business is too small, too new, or too tight-margined to start here. 0.1% earns your SRC 2.0 Certified badge, places you in the founding member registry, and begins your legacy. Ten cents per hundred dollars. Start today. Grow from here whenever you're ready.
The movement's end goal. The precise level at which — multiplied across 15% of global businesses — world hunger, the water crisis, extreme poverty, and lack of education are all solved simultaneously, every year, permanently. When you reach 0.5%, you aren't just a member. You are the mission made real.
For businesses that want to be known — permanently, verifiably, and publicly — as the ones who went first and went hardest. Double the mission. Double the badge recognition. Double the story. Pioneers are named individually in the SRC 2.0 founding registry and celebrated by the movement forever.
At 0.5% × 15% of businesses —
here is exactly what changes.
733 million people currently hungry every night. At 0.5% × 15%, the annual funding is sufficient to eliminate this — completely, every year, permanently. Not reduced. Not managed. Ended.
2.2 billion people without clean water. The infrastructure and maintenance cost to solve this is fully covered within the SRC 2.0 math — with surplus remaining. Clean water for every human being. This decade.
700 million people on less than $2.15/day. When hunger and water are solved, the economic floor rises automatically — breaking the survival trap that keeps generational poverty in place across the developing world.
After hunger, water, and poverty are funded, the mathematical surplus from the 0.5% model covers free, quality education for 300+ million out-of-school children globally. The cycle of poverty — broken for generations, permanently.
Before you decide — look at
what we're actually solving.
We live in the wealthiest era in human history. Global businesses generate over $80 trillion in revenue annually. The food, the water, the teachers, the infrastructure — the resources needed to end all three crises already exist within the global economy. What doesn't exist is the mechanism to redirect even the smallest fraction of it efficiently, immediately, and verifiably. SRC 2.0 is that mechanism.
SRC 2.0 doesn't ask businesses to sacrifice. It asks them to redirect the smallest possible fraction of what already flows through their accounts — through a system that is transparent, audited, and permanent. Not a one-off campaign. Not an annual donation drive. A compounding, permanent feature of the way your business operates — every month, for as long as you are in business.

"The world spends $1.9 trillion on military every year — enough to solve hunger, water, and education more than 30 times over. The money exists. The infrastructure exists. The will is all that's missing. SRC 2.0 doesn't need governments or generals. It needs business owners — people exactly like you — to make one decision."
100% Impact.
0% Overhead.
Most charities spend 40–80% of donations on administrative costs, salaries, office space, and travel. SRC 2.0 was built from Day 1 to be structurally different — because we believe every single cent of your pledge should reach a child, not a payroll.
Every person who works at SRC 2.0 — from the founders to the operations team, from marketing to technology — is an unpaid volunteer. No salaries. No bonuses. No executive packages. We do this because it is the right thing to do, and because we believe the mission is worth our time for free.
All infrastructure costs — software, servers, marketing, technology, and operational expenses — are covered by a private network of visionary Angel Investors who believe in the SRC 2.0 mission. They fund the engine. You fuel the cause. The two never mix.
When a business joins the SRC 2.0 movement, 100% of their pledge goes directly to frontline partners like Feeding America. Not one cent is diverted to rent, salaries, travel, or administration. The math works because the pipes are pure. Zero dilution. Zero compromise.
"When you join SRC 2.0, your 10 cents per $100 does not pass through layers of administration or pay anyone's salary. It goes directly — verified, tracked, reported — to a child who needs a meal. That is the only model we would ever build."
The old model was never going to work.
Here is exactly why.
This isn't just good for the world.
It's the smartest business
decision you'll make this decade.
The SRC 2.0 pledge is not charity — it is the single highest-ROI brand, culture, competitive, and investment decision available to any company in 2026. Here is every reason your business wins the moment you take it.
Instant, Uncopyable Brand Differentiation
In a crowded market, price and product are table stakes. Purpose is the permanent tiebreaker. SRC 2.0 gives your brand a story no competitor can replicate — backed by verifiable, tracked, monthly real-world impact. You don't claim to care. You prove it, every month, in numbers that anyone can check.
Customers Choose You — And Stay Longer
87% of consumers will choose a purpose-driven brand over an otherwise equal competitor. When customers know that spending money with you directly feeds children — verified, monthly, transparently — they feel good every time they buy. That emotional bond compounds month over month into lifetime loyalty no discount programme can replicate.
Attract Better People — And Keep Them
The best employees don't just want a salary — they want meaning. 76% of millennials say a company's social impact affects their decision to join. SRC 2.0 makes your business the place people choose and fight to stay in — because the work matters beyond the pay cheque. Lower recruitment costs. Lower turnover. Higher performance. All from 10 cents per $100.
Win ESG-Aligned Investors Faster
ESG investing is now the fastest-growing capital category globally — over $40 trillion in ESG-aligned assets under management. SRC 2.0 certification signals to investors that your business is future-proof and ethically governed. Better terms. Faster raises. Access to capital pools that won't look at you without demonstrated social accountability.
Earn PR That Money Cannot Buy
Journalists write about movements, not products. "Business joins global pledge to end world hunger" earns press coverage, podcast invitations, and social shares no ad budget can replicate. Every milestone — 10,000 meals, 100,000 meals — is a newsworthy story. Your SRC 2.0 membership is a zero-cost, compounding content engine.
Your Customers Become Unprompted Marketers
People share stories and values, not brands. When customers know that spending money with you feeds children in need — verifiably, monthly, permanently — they tell friends not because you asked, but because it reflects their own values back at them. That is organic, compounding, zero-cost growth no marketing team can manufacture.
Justify Premium Pricing — Without Apology
Purpose-driven brands command higher prices and experience lower price sensitivity. When your product includes verifiable real-world impact, customers pay more and feel less resistance. Your SRC 2.0 badge becomes part of your value proposition. It raises your floor and removes your ceiling in every pricing conversation.
Build a Culture People Are Visibly Proud Of
When your team knows their daily work feeds real people, the job becomes more than a job. Morale lifts. Collaboration improves. People bring their full selves to work because the work matters. The SRC 2.0 pledge is the most cost-effective culture investment you will ever make — and it starts at 10 cents per $100 earned.
Permanent Protection From Price Wars
When your only differentiator is price, you're always one aggressive competitor away from irrelevance. SRC 2.0 adds an emotional, ethical, and reputational dimension impossible to undercut with a discount. Purpose is the deepest competitive moat ever built — and it costs 10 cents per $100 to establish permanently.
Access the Global SRC 2.0 Business Network
SRC 2.0 members gain access to a curated, growing global network of purpose-driven businesses — with shared values already established before the first conversation. Joint ventures, referrals, cross-promotions, and supplier relationships all move faster when trust is pre-built by a common mission and a verified shared standard.
Display the SRC 2.0 Certified Badge
Every member receives an official certified badge for your website, proposals, email signatures, packaging, and social profiles. One badge. Instant credibility across every touchpoint. A permanent signal that your business operates at a higher standard — with monthly proof to back it up, available to anyone who asks.
Build a Legacy That Outlasts Your Business
Products get replaced. Campaigns get forgotten. Awards collect dust. But the meals your business funds are permanent historical facts. A child grew up healthier because your business made one decision. No acquisition, exit, industry award, or valuation milestone produces that kind of legacy. And it began with 10 cents per $100.

The Angels who keep
100% of pledges pure.
SRC 2.0's operational model is funded entirely by a private network of visionary Angel Investors who believe in the mission deeply enough to pay for its growth engine — so that every single cent of every business pledge flows directly to children in need. This is "Venture Philanthropy" — and it is how SRC 2.0 scales to global reach without compromising the purity of its impact.
What Angels Fund
All technology infrastructure, software tools, server costs, marketing campaigns, operational expenses, and platform development for src2mission.org are covered entirely by Angel Investor contributions. When the mission needs a new tool, a new platform, or a new campaign — angels fund it. Pledges never touch it.
Why This Model Works
By separating operational funding from impact funding permanently and structurally, SRC 2.0 achieves what no traditional charity can: 100% impact efficiency. Every dollar pledged by a business is a dollar that reaches a family. Every operational cost is a dollar contributed separately by an investor who believes the mission is worth backing — not from pledge revenue.
The "Venture Philanthropy" Logic
Angel Investors who fund SRC 2.0 operations are essentially purchasing the growth of the mission itself. Their investment acts as a lever — every dollar they contribute to operations enables the onboarding of businesses whose pledges generate thousands of dollars in meals. The ROI is measured in lives, not revenue multiples.
"By having angel investors cover the growth engine while volunteers run the operations, SRC 2.0 becomes a lean, tech-driven, mission-first system — rather than a bloated non-profit. Every cent of every pledge reaches a child. That is not a promise. That is the structural design of the entire model."

The problem has never been
resources. It has been mechanism.
The annual cost to permanently end world hunger, solve the global water crisis, and fund free universal education is approximately $60 billion per year — less than 0.06% of global GDP. Here are ten completely independent pathways to fund it. Each one works on its own. Together, they make the mission arithmetically inevitable.
The SRC 2.0 Model
15% of ~500M global businesses × avg $80K revenue × 0.5% = $60B
Revenue is real, immediate, and auditable. It scales automatically as businesses grow. No government required. No approval needed. A permanent feature of how a business operates — not a campaign.
0.125% of Salary
1.2B workers × avg $40K salary × 0.125% = $60B
Less than $50/year per person. Invisible to the individual. 1 in 8 of 1% of an annual salary — less than a cup of coffee per week. At scale across developed-nation workforces, it solves everything.
2.7% of Global Defence
$2.2T global military spend × 2.7% = $60B
OR: 67 countries redirecting 5% of their own military budget
The world spends $1.9 trillion on military every year. Redirecting 2.7% — less than a rounding error in most defence budgets — funds every humanitarian crisis simultaneously. The peace dividend, quantified.
0.5% of Billionaire Wealth
2,700 billionaires × avg $4.5B net worth × 0.5% annual = $60B
Their portfolios grow at ~10%/year — 20× this amount. Half a percent annually is indistinguishable from noise in their wealth trajectory. Yet it permanently solves every crisis on the list.
$43 Per International Trip
1.4B international trips/year × $43 voluntary levy = $60B
The average international trip costs $2,000+. A 2% humanitarian add-on — opt-out rather than opt-in — is mathematically invisible to the traveller while being transformative at scale.
0.0006% on $10 Trillion
$10T annual digital payments × 0.0006% = $60B
So small it rounds to zero on any individual transaction. Visa and Mastercard already charge 200–300× this amount. A fraction of a fraction, applied universally, funds every crisis simultaneously.
2% from 20 Companies
Top 20 tech companies × $3T revenue × 2% = $60B
Apple alone at 2% revenue = $7.4B. Eight Apples = everything solved.
The companies that built the infrastructure of modern capitalism — collectively worth over $15 trillion — could fund all three crises permanently from 2% of revenue, while still generating record profits.
13.3% of Lottery Profits
92 countries × state lottery revenue $450B × 13.3% = $60B
Governments already collect lottery revenue in the name of "public good." Redirecting 13.3% of global lottery profits — money already flowing through government hands — funds every crisis every year.
6% Humanitarian Allocation
$1T voluntary carbon market (projected 2030) × 6% = $60B
Companies already pay to offset emissions. Adding humanitarian offset as a verified, auditable category alongside environmental offsets channels existing compliance spending toward simultaneous humanitarian impact.
$1/Month from 4% of Subscribers
5B subscription accounts × 4% opt-in × $1/month × 12 = $60B
Netflix. Spotify. Every SaaS app. $1/month humanitarian add-on from just 4% of subscribers globally. One coffee. One child fed every 6 days. The subscription economy already has the infrastructure to collect it.
Any one of these 10 works alone.
SRC 2.0 is pursuing the most scalable.
The business revenue model is the only mechanism that is simultaneously self-reinforcing (businesses grow, impact grows), verifiable (revenue is auditable), decentralised (no government needed), and globally scalable (every business on Earth qualifies). That is why SRC 2.0 chose it. But every conversation you have about any of these 10 pathways moves the needle. The awareness itself is part of the solution.
Five reasons this time works
when everything else hasn't.
It's Self-Funding at Scale — Not Charity
Every previous humanitarian effort relied on charity — voluntary donations from goodwill that evaporates in a recession. SRC 2.0 is built into business revenue — a structural feature of how money flows, not a mood. When the economy grows, the mission grows automatically. When businesses have a hard quarter, the 0.1% is invisible. The mechanism is recession-proof.
Radical Transparency Makes It Unstoppable
Every pledge is tracked. Every meal is counted. Every business has a public dashboard. This is not a charity where donations disappear into overhead. SRC 2.0 operates like a tech platform — real-time, auditable, shareable. When your customers can see exactly how many meals your business funded this month, the pledge becomes a brand asset. Transparency is the engine of trust, and trust is the engine of scale.
It Starts With the Smallest Businesses — Not the Biggest
Every other model has waited for governments, billionaires, or corporations to lead. SRC 2.0 is designed for the business owner with $5,000/month revenue — the plumber, the freelancer, the café owner. Their 0.1% is $5/month. But when millions of them join, they outscale any billionaire pledge in aggregate impact. The movement is designed from the bottom up — which means it cannot be stopped from the top down.
It Creates a New Global Business Standard — Not a Campaign
Fair Trade changed coffee. B Corp changed corporate governance. ISO standards changed manufacturing. SRC 2.0 is designed to become the ethical business standard of the 21st century — the label that signals a company operates at a higher level. Once enough businesses carry the badge, the standard becomes self-enforcing. Customers demand it. Investors expect it. Employees require it. The movement becomes the market.
The Children Saved Today Break the Cycle for Generations
This is the compounding effect that no financial model fully captures. A child who doesn't die of malnutrition grows up. Gets educated. Builds a business. Feeds their family. Contributes to their economy. Every $0.10 meal today is not just a meal — it is the first link in a generational chain of self-sufficiency. SRC 2.0 doesn't just solve today's hunger. It eliminates the conditions that create tomorrow's hunger. The ROI of this mission is not measured in years. It is measured in generations.

What happens when
SRC 2.0 creates a billionaire
who gives it all back.
SRC 2.0 is the mechanism for business owners to redirect a fraction of revenue toward the world's biggest crises. SRC 3.0 is what happens when that movement scales to a billion dollars — and someone decides to deploy it with a plan no charity has ever dared to run. Here is that plan, exactly as conceived.
The Core Premise
$1 Billion. Invested, not donated.
$75 million per year. Forever. Automatically.
Instead of donating $1B and watching it disappear, invest it in an index fund (NASDAQ 500, ~10% annual return). Reserve 2.5% for inflation. Deploy 7.5% — approximately $75 million every year — into structured village-transformation programmes. The principal never depletes. The impact compounds forever.
NASDAQ 500 avg annual return
$1 billion invested = ~$100 million per year in returns. Conservative. Real. Sustainable. The principal grows as markets grow.
Reserved for inflation protection
~$25M/year protected from inflation. The purchasing power of the fund never erodes. The mission never shrinks over time.
Deployed per year — every year
7.5% of returns = ~$75 million annually to transform villages. Not a campaign. A permanent, self-funding programme.
One village. 1,000 people.
18 months to self-sufficiency.
The model is not charity. It is a structured, time-limited intervention that leaves every village permanently self-sufficient — with no ongoing external dependency. Here is exactly how it works, phase by phase.
Food. Water. Devices. Connection.
The first year focuses entirely on removing survival-mode thinking. When people are hungry, they cannot learn. When they cannot learn, the cycle never breaks. Year one eliminates every obstacle simultaneously:
🍽️ Free Food — Full Year
Three meals per day, every day, for 12 months — via Feeding America at $0.10/meal. A village of 1,000 = ~$109,500/year. Survival secured. No one is thinking about tomorrow's food.
💧 Clean Water — charity: water
One well drilled — $300–$3,000 total — provides clean water for 1,000 people for 20–30 years. One investment. Three decades of impact. No recurring cost.
📱 Secondhand Smartphones & Notebooks
Recycled/donated devices distributed — must have internet access and ability to download apps (Google Play or Apple App Store). Cheap to source. Life-changing to receive.
🛰️ Starlink Internet
Elon Musk's Starlink brings broadband to any location on Earth. No cables. No infrastructure delays. The village is connected to the global economy from Day 1.
📺 4–5 Large-Screen TVs (~$500 each)
Big-screen communal viewing creates a shared learning environment. The whole village learns together. Culture forms around progress rather than survival.
📚 Khan Academy — Free Education
Free. World-class. Available in dozens of languages. Every subject. Every skill level. From basic literacy to advanced mathematics — all immediately available on any internet-connected device.
6 Months of Netflix. 16 Hours a Day. Subtitles On.
With food, water, and devices secured — the first six months have one goal: English. Not grammar lessons. Not classes. Immersion. The same method every child uses to learn their native language — through constant, joyful, contextual exposure.
The Method:
Netflix, Disney+, Discovery Channel — English audio, subtitles only. 16 hours per day. No pressure. No tests. No homework. Just immersion. After 6 months of full-day, every-day exposure, basic conversational English becomes natural. The village is now employable in the global digital economy — because English is the language of the internet.
"When you remove hunger and give someone 16 hours a day and something interesting to watch — they learn. Fast. Children learn languages in months through immersion. Adults in villages with nothing else to worry about will do the same."
Teaching 10–20% of the Village to Use AI — All Free.
After 6 months of English immersion, the top 10–20% (100–200 people from a village of 1,000) receive individual devices and begin skill training. Every tool they learn is free:
Google AI
Free · Research & productivity
Claude / ChatGPT
Free tier · Writing & tasks
YouTube
Free · Learn any skill
Khan Academy
Free · Every subject
Google Cloud
Free tier · Cloud basics
Canva / Docs
Free · Design & writing
Training goal: become a competent Virtual Assistant (VA). This single skill is sufficient to connect any person in any village to the global digital economy — immediately, from anywhere on Earth with a Starlink connection.
$1–$3/Hour. 100× to 1,000× Their Previous Income.
For people previously earning $1–$3/month, $3/hour is a 1,000× income increase. At 20 working days per month, 8 hours per day — that is 160 hours × $3 = $480/month. Three pathways to income, matched to skill level:
Pathway 1 · Elite
Upwork
Minimum platform rate: $3/hour. For the top performers. Self-sourced. Self-managed. Fully independent from day one.
Pathway 2 · Mid-Tier
Fiverr
$0.50–$3/hour. No rate floor. At $1/hour, work floods in. Build reputation. Raise rates every few months as skills grow.
Pathway 3 · Guaranteed
SRC Network
$1/hour. Placed directly with SRC 2.0 businesses and partner clients. Trained, supported, and graduated to Fiverr/Upwork when ready.
The income math: At $3/hour × 160 hours/month = $480/month per working villager. Where previous income was $1–$3/month total, this is a 100× to 1,000× income increase. One hundred trained workers in a village of 1,000 generates $48,000/month — enough to feed, sustain, and grow the entire village, fund a second well, and begin helping neighbouring villages without any further external support.
Villages Become Self-Funding. Then They Fund the Next Village.
By Year 2, VA workers earning $2–$3/hour start earning $3–$4–$5/hour as their reputation, English, and skills improve. The well needs no further investment. Food costs are now covered by village income. The surplus multiplies:
🏠 Improved Shelter & Sanitation
Village income funds better housing, sanitation, and infrastructure — without any external donation required.
💧 Second Well Funded Locally
When the first well isn't enough, the village funds the second, third, and fourth well themselves — from VA income.
🤝 Neighbouring Villages Helped
Surplus income and trained villagers begin helping start the same programme in nearby communities — completely self-funded.
📈 VA Income Grows Year on Year
$3 → $4 → $5 → $6/hour as skills, English fluency, and reputation develop. The snowball never stops rolling.
The SRC 3.0 Scale Math
$75M per year.
~$1M per village = 75 villages transformed every year. Permanently.
And as SRC 2.0 grows — as more businesses pledge more revenue — the investable capital grows too. $1B becomes $10B becomes $100B. The 75 villages per year becomes 750. Then 7,500. The model scales perfectly with the movement. Every business that joins SRC 2.0 today is building toward SRC 3.0 tomorrow.
Why This Matters — Whatever You Believe
22% of the world is in extreme poverty.
Statistically, you may have been there.
22% of the world lives in extreme poverty — no reliable food, no clean water, no education. If you believe in reincarnation, statistically in 4–5 lifetimes you will be born into one of those villages. If you follow any faith tradition, the call to care for the vulnerable is universal across all of them.
If we solve this in our generation, the next time any soul is born on Earth — they don't have to face it. We fix it now, for everyone who comes after us. That is not idealism. That is the most rational long-term investment in human history. And it begins with 10 cents per $100 of business revenue.
The Version 0.1 Invitation
This plan is version 0.1.
Your expertise makes it 1.0.
This entire blueprint was conceived in one conversation. The teams behind the world's largest foundations have lifetimes of expertise — and the resources to refine, improve, and scale this from version 0.1 into version 1.0, 2.0, and beyond. If you know a millionaire, billionaire, or trillionaire — send them this plan. If you are building a team smarter than one person — this is your canvas.
"SRC 2.0 is the mechanism. SRC 3.0 is the vision. Together they represent the most complete, scalable, self-funding plan to end human suffering ever assembled — and they are only version 0.1."— Ray Lian · Founder, SRC 2.0 & SRC 3.0 Concept · src2mission.org
