- The primary exempt purpose of the Peace Alights Initiatives is to inspire and empower individuals and communities to identify ways and create opportunities for respite focusing on families affected by a life-altering illness. The Peace Alights Initiatives shares knowledge and insight on how to seed local community-based programs. Research: research into best practices for organizing and delivering respite, in various forms, to chronically ill patients, families and caregivers. PAI board members and associates (volunteers) are conducting this activity. This activity furthers PAI mission, helping seed new respite providers with most current techniques and approaches used across 50 states. Over 200 resources have been identified and evaluated. The effort has been undertaken by volunteers representing approximately 40% of the time dedicated to the nonprofit. Documentation: develop processes, systems and metrics by which newly formed respite provider organizations can operate. By providing this information to new organizations, PAI will significantly fast-track, perhaps reducing startup costs for newly formed respite providers and help them stay in compliance with myriad of regulations in the field. This effort has also improved long term viability for two existing organizations by giving them systems to measure success allowing the organizations to transition from "founder-lead" start-ups. Four areas have been targeted: governance, operational efficiency, financial compliance and transparency, and marketing/fundraising. The effort has been undertaken by volunteers representing approximately 30% of the time dedicated to the nonprofit. Community Resource Development: engage in outreach and relationship building with national, regional, and local medical providers and funding sources. Respite provision involves the medical community along with the local community (where respites are delivered) who provide housing, emotional support, prepared meals, and activities that make respite time successful. By continually forming and strengthening relationships with the community resources that are part of the respite delivery system, PAI has now been able to deliver current resources to respite provider organizations. These relationships are also the source of most current information in this field. The launch of the website, peacealights.org, our objective for individuals and community groups to create connection with the Peace Alights Initiatives, Inc nonprofit. Once again, the effort was undertaken by volunteers representing approximately 30% of the time dedicated to the nonprofit.
