Our purpose is to "contribute to the emerging global community," and our mission is to "help make the emergence of global community unstoppable."

To help make the emergence of global community unstoppable, we want to play a part in engaging 20% of the world's people in conversation about what living in global community really means, and in creating models of creative action that help demonstrate its value. 

We are encouraged knowing we are only one among thousands of organizations working toward the same goal, each with its own particular focus, strategy and appeal. Together, we are creating the worldwide presence we need to succeed.

Reef Fest is an official project of the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program, the International Year of the Reef during 2008, the National Coral Reef Institute, the Whitewater-to-Bluewater organization, and Guy Harvey, Inc., to raise awareness of the need to conserve and protect coral reefs throughout the world.

Donations gathered at Reef Fest (or collaborative) events go to the Reef Fest Fund, administered by a Congressionally chartered, and one of the largest 501(c)3 non-profit conservation grantmaking organizations in the world, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF). During the donation upload process, the donor may choose which coral reef area they wish to support. All donors to this non-profit venture receive a special certificate from NFWF immediately upon upload via the Web site for submission with their tax return to the Internal Revenue Service.

After the end of 2008, a special Reef Fest Fund Proposal Review Committee, consisting of some of the world's most respected coral reef scientists and conservationists, will be convened. A Request for Proposals (RFP) will be sent out through many channels, including Coral-List (about 4,500 subscribers), with special emphasis placed for regional research where large donations may have been received in the donation process (see above). Prospective coral researchers and conservationists will compete for Reef Fest funds through a competitive proposal process. Proposals for specific regions that are identified in the RFP will receive the highest priority of review.

Proposal awardees will be requested to submit periodic progress reports, as well as a final report, and hopefully will contribute quality publications to the public and/or for scientific journals.

Mission Statement 

Our services will include providing people in developing nations with a means of pursuing gainful livelihoods following a crisis.  The way in which we plan to provide this is by accepting donations which will be used to purchase clothing, food, shelter, and items such as sewing machines so that women who earn a living through sewing can continue to be productive. 

Services will include but not be limited to:

• Disaster relief
• Providing food, clothing, shelter
• Assisting with educational materials
• Assisting with materials to earn an income
• Assisting with items to provide the underprivileged with a means earning an income. 

The nations in which we plan to provide our services are emerging economics and countries that have fallen victim to natural disasters.
