Investment Categories & Benefits
There are seven categories of investment in the BBA, ranging from a minimum of $350 up to $100,000. Each level provides a commensurate amount of benefit to the investor: regular, Trustee, Key Stakeholder, Chairman's Circle, Blueprint Champion, Corporate Catalyst and Cornerstone Alliance. Whenever a business or organization joins the BBA, the new investor receives 12 months of active investorship (and all the benefits of investorship therein) from the date that the application and payment are received by the BBA.
