Start with a jointly owned commercial LLC between the legal entities behind DigiBanks.cash (Digex) and Group7.com, alongside an independently governed veterans organization qualifying under section 501(c)(19).

The pilot connects recruitment, skills, employment and business formation over 12 weeks, with follow-up through Day 180. The budget includes $5,000 contingency. Commercial delivery remains accountable; the nonprofit controls charitable resources.

Planning targets are 16 completions, 8 verified paid placements, 4 operating businesses and assistance to 15 participants, at or below $5,000 per unique veteran served.

The proposed division of work separates technical delivery, market development and beneficiary accountability.

Group7 finds community and market opportunities. Digex teaches, engineers, develops and supplies appropriate technology. The nonprofit enables participation and measures durable benefit. Each role must become a defined obligation in the executed services and governance documents.

The companies remain separate; neither the LLC nor nonprofit can bind the other. The three-person committee cannot approve nonprofit spending, change eligibility, direct restricted gifts, alter LLC ownership or override a governing body.

Digex contracts through the commercial LLC or directly as the final services agreement provides. This proposed scope derives from the pilot plan; executed contract terms set final scopes, fees and acceptance criteria.

Design and deliver Digex-led tracks across the 72 hours. The training lead owns Core Skills, 24 hours of digital safety, AI literacy and workplace tools, and co-leads Applied Skills, 24 hours of software, networking or an approved technical track. Configure inventoried devices, software and connectivity within the $12,000 allowance.

Build and maintain participant, attendance and assessment records and a weekly dashboard showing target, actual, denominator, evidence status, owner and action. Apply multifactor authentication, role-limited access and encrypted backups. Support software and networking portfolios, customer validation and business launch technology.

Day 0 is signed launch authorization after every launch gate passes. Recruitment runs Days 15 to 30; instruction runs Days 31 to 114.

Illustrative contract ceiling for instruction and employer engagement combined, only if independent nonprofit procurement supports scope and price. No award is guaranteed.

Outcome follow-up through Day 180 remains enforceable. The contract owner matches scope, attendance or delivery evidence and price; a separate approver authorizes payment. Disputed line items are returned with reasons within ten business days. Undisputed accepted amounts are paid within 30 days.

Advance payments require a written refund or credit mechanism. Budget shifts above $5,000 or ten percent of a category require board approval.

Include scope, schedule, price ceiling, acceptance evidence, payment and refund rules, outcome follow-up, change control, IP and continuing use rights, privacy and security, insurance, personnel responsibility, breach remedies, termination and 30-day transition support.

Nonbinding statements of intent unless restated in a signed definitive agreement. No exclusivity, joint liability, duty to fund or partnership by conduct is intended. Confidentiality before signing requires a separate NDA.

Governs the commercial members only. The nonprofit is not a party or owner. Not ready for signature until every bracket and schedule is complete.

Recommended for independent board adoption under state law and bylaws. These policies are not represented as already adopted.

Two approvals above $1,000; monthly independent reconciliation and treasurer review within 20 days.

Five directors; at least three independent of both companies. Affiliated contracts require at least three disinterested directors. Review membership quarterly against 501(c)(19) tests; enrollment does not confer membership. Annual and per-decision conflict disclosure and recusal; two quotes above $2,500, three above $10,000; aggregate related purchases.

Verify deductibility first; maintain a restricted-fund ledger. No borrowing for company operations. Default to cash and usable donated equipment, without token rewards. Publish assistance eligibility, scored selection and neutral lottery ties; cap support at $1,000 per participant within $15,000. Pay vendors directly and provide written appeals.

Allowances are not quotes. The nonprofit owns the budget; competitive awards or documented independent review determine vendors, not these allocations. In-kind support is recorded separately and excluded from cash-spend metrics.

Publish accessible rules. An independent case manager verifies veteran status, obtains consent and baselines skills, employment and barriers. Enroll at most 20 after funding approval, assign unique IDs and keep a waitlist. Replacements never erase the original denominator. Within seven days, agree pathway, accommodations, attendance plan and milestones. No accredited qualification, job or revenue is guaranteed.

Deliver six hours weekly for twelve weeks. Completion requires 80 percent attendance, 57.6 of 72 hours, an accepted portfolio and final assessment of at least 70 percent. Offer makeup sessions; contact participants within two business days after two missed sessions.

A placement is a new paid role or paid apprenticeship starting after enrollment, confirmed by employer and participant, with a 30-day retention check. Interviews, offers, unpaid work and prior jobs do not count.

A launched business was not operating at baseline, is lawfully registered or exempt, has a defined offer and at least one paid sale or contract. Plans or domains alone do not count.

Document barriers, check restrictions and approve before purchase. Separate finance review is required; confirm receipts within ten business days. Gather feedback at Weeks 4, 8 and 12. Log complaints in two business days, respond in writing in ten and provide independent appeals.

Report actual-spend and committed-cost forecasts. Do not subtract donations or earned income from cost. Count a veteran receiving both assistance and training once as served; overlapping job and business outcomes count once in combined unique success. Never change definitions retrospectively.

20 enrolled · 16 completions · 8 placements · 4 businesses

Mark complete only after the accountable approver reviews evidence. Use the accompanying checklist file as the working register; populate due dates and evidence links before closure.
