 Avoidance

Avoiding the use of money on behalf of yunity is should always be the starting consideration when acquiring resources.

  1. Is it necessary? Necessity. Take a moment to consider whether we need this resource.
  2. Can we acquire the resource without using money? Acquisition without the use of money. The following sub-list of options is not extensive;
    1. Reclamation: . Rescue the resource from being wasted, abandoned or unused.
    2. Construction: . Make the resource from other available resources.
    3. Borrowing: Ask an individual . Individual or organization who already has the resource to lend lends it.
    4. Donation: Ask an individual . Individual or organization who already has the resource to give donates it - this is different to someone actively purchasing a resource explicitly to donate it, see Proxy Donation by proxy transaction below.

No one is expected to use money on behalf of yunity. If an individual or organization wishes to purchase a resource to donate to yunity to help yunity achieve it's Vision and Mission, they can.

  1. Necessity.
In this case they are recommended to
  1. Consider whether this resource can be acquired with the Avoidance of money use. If not, consult 5. Collaborate with yunity or check with an active yunity contributor to see
which resources
  1. whether yunity actually needs the resource.
  2. Donor makes transaction.
    1. Donation. Individual or organization who purchased the resource dontes it.
    2. Record. For anything that is explicitly purchased for donation to
donate to
    1. yunity, it is highly recommended to record the name of donor, date of transaction and a copy of receipt - if the donor consents. Recording these details is not to glorify
donors
    1. the donor but to identify where yunity is still
in some way
    1. indirectly reliant on money - this knowledge will direct efforts into finding ways to avoid the use of money for acquiring the resource in
question in
    1. future
and help yunity to achieve it's Vision and Mission whilst using as little money as possible
