IMAGINE FAQ
What is IMAGINE?

In addition, Imagine wants to influence significantly the local leadership and invites them to model and promote a lifetime of love.

I. IMAGINE network (NGOs, communities and individuals good-doers)
II. IMAGINE trademark (sponsors)
IMAGINE viral III team (movement in schools, universities, media ...).
IV. IMAGINE dream machine (a foundation that influence leaders and supports new initiatives and dreams)
Why was created IMAGINE?
IMAGINE was created as a response to the great need of peoples in Latin America and the lifting of a new generation of young people who yearn to make a difference, take action and serve the community.
IMAGINE is designed to promote the canalization of funds from the private sector to support projects and initiatives of transformation.
Which is the idea behind the name "IMAGINE"?
"IMAGINE" in different languages (English, French, Spanish ...) means the same thing. We want to help the new young generation to imagine a different Latin America, where we care for each other and we act lovingly towards the disadvantaged sectors of society.
We want to help young people imagine life if each of us live to the fullest potential that God has given us. We want to imagine our community, our city, our country and Latin America if everyone lived the dream for which God has created.
How IMAGINE works?
IMAGINE Trademark establish agreements with companies and individuals who sell products (or services) and want to contribute with a percentage of their profits or in some other way.
These funds will serve to invest in the IMAGINE Network platform’s the IMAGINE Viral team and to continue supporting projects and new initiatives for sustainable transformation through IMAGINE Dream Machine.
The resources are canalized to promote four movements:
IMAGINE Trademark, IMAGINE Network, IMAGINE Viral Team and IMAGINE Dream Machine.
Therefore, a portion of these resources is aimed at promoting IMAGINE in different sectors. Another part goes to pay the costs of maintaining and active IMAGINE Network. Another amount is set to continue encouraging participation in the transformation (of our city, country and Latin America) mainly in the private education sector through IMAGINE Viral Team.
Finally the remaining percentage is used to track influential youth leaders and support new initiatives to express love and serve through IMAGINE Dream Machine.
