It is the aim of The Erik Foundation to provide disadvantaged people with the support needed to become self-sufficient and independent. Our intended beneficiaries are anyone needing these types of support, with our primary emphasis on United States military veterans and their families. In a like manner, we intend for The Erik Foundation to become self-sufficient in order to become less dependent o
n recurring annual donations as we build out our range of services to aid our veterans. We intend to offer support in the form of assistance with housing, life skills and career training, medical care, counseling, parenting skills, general education and other areas. We believe that a significant transportation gap exists for people in need of many forms of assistance and although there are existing avenues through which people can receive assistance, many of these avenues are closed if the intended beneficiaries cannot take advantage of them due to a lack of accessible transportation. Affordable and accessible transportation is a key element in providing many services, especially education, counseling and medical care. At first, we will provide assistance in transportation and partner with established providers for assistance in education, medical care, counseling, housing and other needs. We will integrate these types of services within our scope of direct benefits as funding permits. In order to drive our self-sufficiency, The Erik Foundation has a renewable exclusive license to a set of children’s products. We will have books, games and other products and media (TV shows/DVDs/movies), all oriented around a set of characters and their stories. We intend to vigorously pursue licensing opportunities for the characters. Our aim is to be self-sustaining through income generated by product sales and licensing of the product line. We intend to build a lasting legacy that supports our disadvantaged veterans and civilians and their families.
