[011] The applicant believes that another reference corresponds to U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 20050004867 A1, published on January 6, 2005, by Spector for NETWORK-BASED DONATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. However, it differs from the present invention because Spector teaches techniques for network-based management and donation tracking and associated donation information. More specifically, a donation management system that

Petition 870160044611, of 08/17/2016, p. 73/84 / 14 comprises a group management module and a donation management module. The group manager module features a user interface with which a donor interacts to create a private donation group. Donors can join the private donation group by invitation only, and the private donation group generally limits non-member donors from viewing information regarding the private donation group. The donation manager module receives electronic donations from members of the private donation group through a computer network. Thus, the donation management system provides a comprehensive and adaptive approach to managing donations in a secure and private manner.

[012] The applicant believes that one of the closest references corresponds to US Patent No. US 8239259 B2, issued to Borst, et al. on August 7, 2012 for DONATIONS IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT. However, it differs from the present invention in that Borst, et al. teaches a donation aspect to a website, whereby donation amounts are limited and users receive awards based on their donations.

[013] The applicant believes that another reference corresponds to North American Patent No. US 7870067 B2, issued to Crowl on January 11, 2011 for DONATION SYSTEM. However, it differs from the present invention in that Crowl teaches a donation system that would encourage registered people to make small contributions to a charity or political campaign (or cause of their choice) as well as to facilitate the process of doing so. The system provides a central location for all donation activity and works as a “contribution set” to empower the powerless in the political market. The system also acts as a “Civic Market” that provides citizens with a central location to switch to civic information. The system provides security features for registered users. [014] The applicant believes that another reference corresponds to North American Patent No. US 6729884 B1, issued to Kelton, et al. on May 4, 2004 for E-CRITTER GAME FOR TEACHING PERSONAL VALUES AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO A CHILD. However, it differs from the present invention in that Kelton, et al. teaches an internet-based game to teach personal values and responsibility

[024] The claim method is further qualified by the selection of at least one beneficiary to be made by at least one among random selection, selection based on nomination, selection based on votes submitted to the system for games or respective combinations.

[025] The claim method is also qualified by at least one beneficiary being selected from a list of grantees who access the system for games.

[026] It is an intended object of the system and method of the present invention to provide people with a path and access to help one another prosper or even survive in a complicated and difficult economy.

[027] It is another object of the present invention to provide a system that is inexpensive to implement and maintain, while maintaining its effectiveness.

[028] Other objects of the invention will become apparent in the following part of the specification, in which the detailed description is intended to fully disclose the invention without imposing limitations.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES [029] With the objects listed above and others in view, the invention consists of the details of the construction and combination of parts, as will be fully understood from the following description, when read in conjunction with the attached drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a flow chart showing an application of the present invention. Figure 2 is a flow chart showing an application of the present invention, including a step of receiving and counting votes, in order to determine the recipient of a prize.

Figure 3 is a flowchart showing an application of the present invention, including a step of receiving and counting votes, in order to determine the recipient of an award, as well as the publication of at least one award winner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED APPLICATION

Petition 870160044611, of 08/17/2016, p. 77/84 / 14 [030] Now, with reference to the drawings, the present invention, as seen in figure 1, includes a program stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The program is operatively associated with server 10. Server 10 is configured as appropriate input-output means, as is generally known in the art. In an application, server 10 receives incoming information from at least one donor 20 and provides outgoing information to a selected person, person or organization, where the money will be donated, generally referred to as a donor 30. In an application, the The system of the present invention is configured, so that the information provided to the server 10 gathers and updates a donated money accumulation value 40 and continues to monitor the accumulated donations for each specific grantee 30 until a threshold shot of the value 50 is reached. The threshold of the trigger value 50 is a specific numerical value for each specific grantee 30. The system of the present invention is configured, so that each individual grantee 30 is at a threshold of a particular monetary trigger value 50. Once a grantee individual 30 reaches the threshold of the monetary trigger value 50, the system selects a beneficiary 60 to receive a premium. In one application, beneficiary selection 60 provides a monetary award to a specific grantee 30. In another application, multiple monetary awards are presented. The system of the present invention further provides notification 70 to at least one donor 20 and delivery of the prize to the selected grantee 30.

[031] As seen in figure 2, an application provides a set of participants 110 that is divided into groups 120. Groups 120 provide presentations 130 that are designed to solicit votes for a winning participant or group. The votes are received 140, counting 150 and at least one winner receives the prize 160.

[032] As seen in figure 3, this application provides a system and method by which donors 20 present information to server 10 to allow the presentation of donor information 210 to be viewable by viewers 220 who are accessing the system of the present invention controlled by server 10. One

Petition 870160044611, of 08/17/2016, p. 78/84 / 14 winner is selected 230 and there is notification of prize 240 on the publication of information on winner 250.

[033] In one application, the system and method of the present invention includes an online website that invites people to donate or pay a minimum predetermined monetary amount when they wish, such as how many political campaigns are funded or how a lottery ticket is purchased, but without buying a ticket or anything physical.

[034] However, periodically, as each month, a percentage of the total amount is awarded to one of the thousands or millions of people or entities that donated. With reference again to figure 1, accumulation 40 refers to the accumulation of a dollar amount, the accumulation of a period of time or respective combinations. For example, the system and method of the present invention are configured so that once a specific time period has elapsed, a beneficiary is selected 60. Alternatively, once a specific dollar amount has been accumulated, a beneficiary is selected 60. In another application, the system and method of the present invention are configured to require going through a specific time period accumulation or a specific dollar amount.

[035] In an environment where accumulation 40 is a dollar amount, once the system of the present invention reaches a specific dollar amount, a website monitors accumulation 40 and displays how the particularized system increases donated money and ultimately , prepares a percentage for at least one award. [036] In one application, there will be different categories for donation, for example: Business Categories, Educational Categories, Health Categories, Residential Categories, Vehicle Categories, Judicial Cost Categories, etc. Each category will pay to a selected winner, grantee 30. A photo and interview of each winner or business owner, etc. will be posted on the website. Also, the name, city and state of each person who donates and the amount they donated will be posted on the website as well. In addition, the total and paid amounts will be posted on the website in real time. The goal is to give people a resource and access to help each other
