That's a very good point, or we could also use grants as well. Someone would
have to find a real good grant writer.  There is a lot of money out there
for diffrant things like this, lets use it. Because if you don't, someone
else will. Also it's a real quick way to get a large amount of money right
up front to administer the program. Good luck

Dear Chip,
 
What you propose is totally unworkable; we were told of several funds, that
used to exist and had a fairly considerable amount of money, fall flat on
their faces because the funds were not administered properly--you have to
set up a nonprofit foundation of some kind first; you need to find your
funding sources--individual, corporate, etc.--you need to set up a committee
or board who will administer the fund and process applications, etc. etc.
 
I wish doing what you propose was as easy as you think but it is not, and if
we don't have re-payment, other funding sources will back out because you
are, in effect, giving grants rather than making loans.
 
Are you delving into everyone's finances through some channel of which I am
not aware?  I personally don't know anyone in Tally who is getting huge SSDI
or Retirement checks, though I'll grant you there are folks who don't have
as much, and there probably ought to be some way to verify an individual's
financial status--that would mean some people could not qualify because,
even with a small-interest loan over a fair period of time, will be more
than they can afford.
]
I will not involve myself in anything that is questionably legal--oh yes,
you do have to report to the 
IRS-because what you propose sounds more like a grant program to me with no
financial accountability to the contributors or borrowers.
