How about TMAD Grocery Shop :) I am sure most of us buy monthly food stuff from local retailer. They sell with 15% - 20% margin. If we can negotiate with any wholesaler we can save 15%.Assuming each family spending 3000 p.m, with 15% margin we can save upto 450/- per family.4500 - 10 families9000 - 20 families How we deliver:Option1: members collect it from monthly meeting place. Option2: Home delivery How we grow:Convince your neighbors/colleagues that this is for good cause. And we grow like mumbai dabbawala's.Even if can't convince others we can still generate 5000/- per month. Apart from this we can also offer other services at premium price like selling seasonal items, Khadi Items, Green Items. --Naveen --- On Wed, 2/17/10, Prasanthi <[email protected]> wrote:

This is a specific request from me as a TMAD member. I am not interested in fund raising activities and more so on donations from individuals on a long run. I am thinking of starting any project (seed money from group fund and members' contribution) that can generate income to fund our TMAD activities. Are there any such projects which involve less capital and through which we can not only generate income but can give jobs to differently abled or people in dire need of a vocation. We can even think of giving training too, if required. Can we discuss about any such projects? Looking forward for your suggestions and inputs. Thank you. with regards, Prasanthi.
