FUNDING & SUPPORT

The Love Trollinger Initiative (LTI) provides small-scale funding to entrepreneurs, creatives, and small organizations whose work is already underway and whose projects benefit from patient, clearly structured capital.

Funding is not automatic, competitive, or volume-driven. It is selective, relational, and grounded in clarity.

We do not fund ideas in isolation. We fund people who are already working.

What We Fund

LTI considers funding for projects that demonstrate:

• Active work already in progress

• Clear purpose and scope

• Capacity to execute independently

• Measurable value creation (cultural, educational, or economic)

Funding may support:

• Production or launch costs

• Equipment or infrastructure

• Distribution or documentation

• Operational stabilization

We prioritize work that benefits from durability, not speed.

What We Do Not Fund

LTI does not fund:

• Speculative ventures or high-risk trading

• Consumer or personal debt

• Passive income schemes

• Projects without demonstrated effort

• Activities that conflict with our values or legal obligations

Funding is not emergency relief or unrestricted cash support.

How Funding Works

When LTI provides funding, it is done through a written agreement between LTI and the project operator.

The core structure is simple:

• LTI provides capital to support a defined project

• The project operator uses the capital for project-related purposes

• LTI is repaid the original amount provided, plus an agreed-upon percentage of the value created

No percentage participation applies until the original capital has been fully repaid.

The specific percentage, repayment method, and reporting expectations are defined clearly before funds are released.

This structure allows LTI to:

• Share risk

• Avoid extraction

• Reinvest returned capital into future work

Important Clarifications

To avoid confusion, we state the following plainly:

• LTI is not a bank

• LTI does not accept deposits

• Funding is not a loan, grant, or public investment

• Funding does not guarantee success or profit

• LTI does not pool public funds

Each funding relationship is private and project-specific.

Partner Responsibilities

By accepting funding from LTI, partners agree to:

• Use funds solely for the agreed-upon project

• Operate independently and responsibly

• Communicate honestly about progress and challenges

• Provide agreed-upon reporting related to value created

• Repay capital and percentage participation as defined

Partners retain full control of their work unless otherwise stated by written agreement.

LTI Protections & Boundaries

To protect the integrity of the initiative:

• Funding decisions are made at LTI’s discretion

• LTI does not assume operational control of funded projects

• No partnership, employment, or agency relationship is implied

• Misuse of funds constitutes breach of agreement

• LTI may decline or terminate funding if material misrepresentation or legal risk arises

All funding is governed by a signed agreement executed before any capital is released.

How to Be Considered

Most funding relationships begin through:

• Prior advisory work, or

• A clear project inquiry with supporting documentation

Funding follows understanding. We do not rush this process.

Funding through The Love Trollinger Initiative is intended to support work that lasts. We value clarity, restraint, and shared responsibility over speed or scale.

All funding opportunities begin through One-on-One Working Sessions.
