NEEDFUL PROVISION - Key Persons

Job Titles:

• President
• CEO Tel. 1 - 918 - 868 - 5710
• NPI 's Founder

History: David A. Nuttle, NPI's founder, was previously engaged in the conduct of stated mission objectives in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, as well as the U.S. Eight years ago, Nuttle founded NPI to create an appropriate organization to help achieve this mission. Nuttle's prior work included his invention of 63 very unique self-help, self-sufficiency technologies ---inventions that were used to form the technical basis for NPI's efforts. A few significant accomplishments, for NPI, have included creation of a self-help research, development, and training center in Oklahoma. NPI's Latin Division, ACA, was started. In Russia, a large community food security project, known as the Self-Sufficiency Village has been started. Very detailed planning efforts have been undertaken in support of an "innovative" food production-type social enterprise in Egypt. (Recent and current projects are listed on NPI's website.) Financial Support: Grant funding in the amount of $870,000 was received, by Nuttle, in support of the research on subject self-help technologies. These grant funds were received from the U.S. Dept. of Energy, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, National Science Foundation, N. Carolina Biotechnology Center, the inventor, and many others. A grant of some $125,000 from the McCune Foundation was used for a community project for the Tiwa Indians of Taos Pueblo. Over $1 million was received from direct or indirect royalty income NPI derived from the license of its proprietary technologies ---- the patented technologies donated by Nuttle. After the very horrific terrorist attacks of 09/11/01, NPI had several anticipated federal grants cancelled. As a result, NPI is now focusing on use of its own proprietary technologies to create "spin-off" profit (for-profit) social enterprises. These enterprises will generate royalty income, for NPI, from sales of unique products licensed from NPI. Some continued support is anticipated in the form of foundation grants, and individual donations, but royalty income will be the primary source of income.
