what is your opinion good or bad? thanks?!


Question: I live in nh you can find help w/almost anything for an adult, but dental.
my neice recently lost her 11 yr. old best friend & in her name i wanted to start a fund for adults w/no insurance or who are poor. Here you can get medical & dental for insurance for kids & elderly. our hospitals have a sliding scale for anyone so medical we are all set. we have a college that offers cleanings & our hospital helps only to pull teeth. So i wanna come up w/something "help save a tooth". who wants to walk around w/teeth missing when they can have it saved?
another thing adam sandler is from where i live & his sis is a local dentist so i was gonna see if they might help? i also i know couple people who would help out.
do you think its a good idea & if so any ideas exactly how i'd start? thanks
Answers:
Yes, I think it is a good idea. As for how to start you have done good so far. You've done your research and you know of people. Now you have to go to these peple and talk to them. Then you will want to get oyur proposal written out and put in writing. Make out a mission statement. A fooundation like a non-profit is still a business and your investors and affiliates will want to know more information before discussing things further.
As a consultant and a founder of a few programs I can say that local businesses will protest your efforts. So it is a good idea to review the laws as well. If you can get a petition signed by enough people it may be easier. But do a marketing research survey first. Before interviewing the people discuss with them what it is that your are trying to achieve and then compile the data from your surveys into hown you plan to form your survice. Being in NH you will have to detail if you are only going to aid people or if you only have selected offices that are involved. This information will be vital in NH since your state has laws about foundations. They will ask you things about what specific dental work is covered, because remember there are even titanium implants available today. They will also ask you what is the guidelines to who is covered, and how often the person(s) will be covered. The medial offices will be set-off if you don't have some sort of guarantee that they will be paid. NH also has to know if the procedures are a medical necessity. What if a low-income person is using your foundation to do something wholely cosmetic. What if they apply for fangs, will you pay-out. If you are to begin becoming serious about the foundation, THINK about every possible scenario. THINK about how you are going to fund these services you are offering. Just as the state requires lawyers to do so many hours of pro-bono work, I do think that many doctors should do the same. NH has many great lawyers talk to them and see if they could help you draft something to your congressman and senator and see if they could guide you in this. Remember the US is looking at the fact that more then 62% of all americans do not have insurance. So they may be able to help send some of that money to you to get your program running if oyu market it right.

I think this is a good idea; you r intentions are in the right place. Not sure how to help you out are were you would even begin. Maybe going around and talking to a few dr's or dentist and asking them for their input in this idea you have. There are several agencies that assist in opening up acounts when people get into car accidents and pass away, the funds go to the family to help with financial matters. Maybe finding such and agency, they might be able to help you get started. Good Luck and God Bless you for your well thought out intentions.

P.S Would be interested in hearing back from you when you get it started..
Wow, you're quite the little helper! If you want to help others then start by rallying enough people together for the cause. If you want to do the "sign my petition" thing I would go with someone that is of the opposite sex that can help you out in case of perverts. If I lived in New Hampshire I would gladly give to your cause. I like doing the flyer thing. Handing out flyers or just putting them on pole so that passers by will see them and might possibly be able to do something to help.
thats good idea. i think its really important to do coz so many people cant get a good service when they go to a dentist. see ya. GBU
