Sounds like something out of a dream, or, other!
Gotta start somewhere though.
I'm sure many could appreciate the thought anyway!
I applaud even the thought as Chip presented it.
The thought of Airplanes were probably once laughed at!
Thought not to be possible!
"To Dream The Impossible Dream"
Sounds like music to my ears!
Let the music play on!

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.
