The Billion Dollar Project® is an international
philanthropic undertaking to spread knowledge acquisition to the third world without cost to the recipients. This is
the only kind of donation the Project expects from its volunteer individuals and organizations.
Originally envisioned over 30 years ago, the Billion Dollar Project® was designed by its creator and the organization that created the Academy as an outreach to overcome poverty, hunger, and ignorance in the world. It was, from its very existance conceived as a global project that could harness the power of technology to spread rapid acquisition of knowledge for those it was least available, anywhere in the world, even in the USA. With the thought that if the Project could accomplish this, it could do wonders never imagined. Unfortunately, the reality in 1977 was that a PC cost at least $10,000 and there was no Internet outside of Academia and the Government and the World Wide Web for the general masses and high speed Internet were years away. The creator's hope was that someday the dream would eventually bear fruit Technology has caught up and coupled with today's World Wide Web and Internet education and program development launching the project, it has been said, "... just kind of ka-chinged into place.”
