What if I still like to use money?
Feel free what ever you feel is right to do. I'm just wish that you'll integrate in your considuration the effect of money by itself towards our society.
If you still like to use money here some guidlines on a organsational point of view.
Everything regarding money is done via proxy spendings.
This means: Yunity doesnt have a banc account and no specific people taking care of money inside the organisation. Yunity doesnt spend any money.
Needs with potential costs for Yunity are requested and then donated by individuals and/or teams (foundations, fundraising groups) to yunity.
Every resource yunity works with is based on donation and direct contribution.
This implies that monetary donations are always bound to specific resources or intentions when they are received by yunitymembers.
There is no moneyflow inside yunity.
There is no money management inside yunity , only resource management , which is another topic.
Expenditure
1. Avoidance
If we can avoid spending money as an organization or by proxy, we should. Not using money is the most coherent option with our mission and vision and avoids us spending time and energy documenting and dealing with money. Avoidance of expenditure should be the starting consideration.
...
No one is expected to spend money in, or on behalf of the yunity organization. If a contributor or interested individual wishes to purchase a resource to achieve the goals of yunity with their own money, they can. Every proxiy dothe person will not be excluded. Which means, is able to contribute free of limits.
For anything explicitly purchased for yunity it is recommended to properly record: name, date, and copy of receipt. Recording is optional and not aimed to glorify donors, however, recording this information is very useful to indicate where yunity is still reliant on money and will help us achieve even lower running costs in the future.
3. Contributor or proxy transaction
No one is expected to spend money in, or on behalf of the yunity organization. If a contributor or interested individual wishes to purchase a resource to achieve the goals of yunity with their own money, they can. If they wish to have this expenditure refunded, they must properly record: name, date and have copy of the receipt. No purchase is guaranteed to be refunded, though considering the following will indicate whether refunding is likely;
- Consult explicit decisions. If the resource has been explicitly agreed upon as being an acceptable or unacceptable purchase in the past, this will provide the most reliable indication of whether the purchase is eligible for reimbursement.
- Consult guidelines. The guidelines should provide some indication of whether the purchase is eligible for reimbursement.
If it is decided that refunding is appropriate, only the value that was spent at the time will be refunded (i.e. not adjusted for inflation). It should also be noted that there is no indication or guarantee of when the purchase will be refunded (i.e. could never happen).
