We are delighted to present the AME Churches

to the Carolina Media Arts Business

and Workforce Development Centers.


Our centers have introduced a new Group-Purchasing Membership model that circulates two million dollars through groups of fifty small businesses, churches, nonprofits, and schools.


We invite AME churches to join the network by becoming a Media Arts Academy Site or utilizing the Streaming and Broadcast Platforms. By participating, groups of fifty AME churches can share in the two million dollars, while also creating jobs, careers, and educational opportunities for young adults and students in your church and community.


We plan to start with the churches in the South Carolina Districts, which will serve as "model-sites" for the nation, demonstrating how the funds and services benefit your communities. Our District Leader, Elder Johnnie O. Coe, has been informed, will be present, and is enthusiastic about seeing the churches in his district prosper and grow together.


Salem AME and Bethel AME Churches are already utilizing the network services and are spearheading the effort to bring this program to the Marion District for the benefit of AME churches and communities.


Each church that opts to host a Media Arts Academy Site or a Podcast on the network receives $1,500 to $10,000 per month (from the two million dollars), along with media and communication services (see here)


Please take a moment to explore the website designed to generate funding and offer the communication platforms our ministries need. Most of our Churches, Pastors, and Communities have minimal to no online representation, and we are not utilizing the available electronic tools and platforms. This site will equip all AME churches, pastors, and ministries with the resources and production teams needed to communicate effectively and access the funding God has provided for HIS CHURCH.

  • The Site is still under major construction (we need your help to add your information & content).

  • All Churches can begin using this site immediately (at "no-expense" to your church).

    • Streaming, Podcasting, Calendar, Newsletter, Church Directory & Pages for each ministry.

HOW THE FUNDING WORKS:

Funding operates by having all Academy Sites and Podcasters buy from a shared group of Corporate Suppliers and Vendors. These suppliers provide a cash rebate to our group for the guaranteed purchases. This rebate is electronically tracked, divided, and distributed to each of our churches on a monthly basis.

  • The companies we will all purchase from are listed here on the site.

  • All operational expenses for the Media Arts Academy Sites are covered by using a group of 30 companies. These companies offer cash rebates to our group for our committed spending with them. The fees they pay into the network are distributed to each of our churches, in amounts ranging from $18,000 to $120,000 annually ($1,500 to $10,000 monthly), depending on each of our individual spending on operations, programs, and projects.

  • The New Site is intended to act as the platform to generate $2 million by uniting groups of 50 Media Arts Academy Site locations to collectively purchase all operational needs from the participating corporate partners.

  • PC Essentials Mall - Companies you need to purchase from for your funding. See listing here.


IMPACT 5024 (in partnership with Coastal Carolina University)

  • Impact 5024 stands for 50 organizations managing twenty-four million dollars.

  • Impact 5024 is responsible for documenting, tracking, surveying, and monitoring all member-organizations, activities, and expenditures, providing reports to the community, funders, and members.

  • The organization is staffed by groups of students and colleges.
