“A GEM Mission is like an Eagle Scout Project for Adult Entrepreneurs. Everyone should do it.”

A featured Mission and Missionary
 
With a Computer Science degree from UC Berkeley, (the fictional) Simone Samuels has all the skills 
to be an entrepreneur.  The tech job market was white hot in her local community, the San Francisco 
Bay Area, but she just wasn't ready to jump into the grind.  She wanted to build a computer lab for a 
local public senior citizens complex but she worried about her resume and about the money for the 
lab.
Within 1 week, Simone received the 100 Facebook Likes required as part of the validation for her 
GEM Mission.  This quick validation caught the eyes of the official GEM Curators and she soon 
received the 3 official Curator endorsements she needed for her Certificate and to release the funds 
for her project when her fundraising is complete.  So far she needs to raise just $245 to complete her 
fundraising.
Donate to Simone’s Mission here.

GEM Candidate Mission Plan
Summary
I want to open a computer lab for my local Senior Citizens community center. The Center will provide the
room but I need to acquire 3 computers and setup the processes for them to be maintained.
Who are the Beneficiaries?
Over 500 Seniors live in the community and we estimate that we will engage 5 Seniors to manage the lab
on an ongoing basis and that 15% of the community, 75 different Senior Residents, will use the lab each
year.
Why does this inspire me as an entrepreneur?
My Grandma lives in the community and she is unable to afford and maintain a computer of her own. She
has introduced me to several others in the community with the same need. I have also met two residents
that say they will help to operate the lab to keep the computers up to date and secure.

About Us
The Grassroots Entrepreneur Mission endeavors to establish a new paradigm for people with entrepreneurial skills in
which they ask themselves “Have I completed my Mission”? What have I done with my skills on a voluntary basis that
makes the World better?
The purpose of the Grassroots Entrepreneur Mission is to support socially-minded entrepreneurs in developing and
completing their Missions. These volunteers sacrifice lucrative for-profit and the Grassroots Entrepreneur Mission
awards “GEM Certificates” in order give them validation and propel their careers.
