AN INITIATIVE OF SINGULAR IMPORTANCE
FOR MY
BENEFIT.
A better world. For me.
An independent initiative dedicated to the overdue correction of my personal standard of living.
INDEPENDENT IN SPIRIT.✦FOCUSED IN PURPOSE.✦PERSONAL BY DESIGN.
01 — THE SITUATIONA matter outstanding.
My circumstances
remain unacceptable.
My financial circumstances are irrelevant to my expectations.
I see no compelling reason to allow something as temporary as a lack of money to interfere with the standard of living I consider appropriate.
There are experiences I have yet to enjoy, comforts I have yet to acquire, and inconveniences I continue to endure through no fault of my own.
Something will be done about this.
You are in a position to do it.
Address the situationEntirely voluntary. Nothing is owed.
A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT
I examined the matter personally. It did not take long.

THE BENEFICIARY, CONSIDERING THE POSSIBILITIES.02 — THE BENEFICIARY
J. Benedict Bennefitte III
FOUNDER, CHAIRMAN & SOLE BENEFICIARY
A cause beyond question.
A beneficiary
beyond reproach.
“I have never regarded my comfort as a private matter.”
Mr. Bennefitte was appointed sole beneficiary following a selection process he conducted personally.
Mr. Bennefitte has dedicated his life to the pursuit of a standard of living commensurate with his expectations.
Despite considerable personal sacrifice, his financial circumstances have yet to reflect the importance of his position.
For My Benefit was established to address this discrepancy.

I view a great many properties.
Each is measured, photographed and considered at length by people whose judgment I selected myself.
Very few are adequate.
This is not pessimism. It is simply the standard that applies.

06 — A FEW PARTICULARS
Questions
I have anticipated.
Is this a charity?+
No. Charities typically distribute resources among numerous beneficiaries. I consider this an unnecessary complication.
Will I receive anything in return?+
The satisfaction of knowing that my life is marginally better because of you.
No financial return, goods, services, or ownership are promised.
Are contributions tax-deductible?+
No. I appreciate your optimism.
A GIFT IN ANOTHER’S NAME
Give the gift
that keeps on giving.
To me.
A monthly contribution in someone else’s name. They receive the distinction. I receive the benefit.
Gift a subscriptionThe gift giver pays and controls cancellation. The recipient owes nothing.
THE PROSPECT
From here the prospect is excellent. It could, of course, be improved.
