1.1. Avoidance

Anchor
1.1.

1.1.

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

1. Do we need it? Necessity. Take a moment to consider whether we need this resource to achieve our goals.Can we get it without any financial transaction?
2. 
   Reclaim: Many resources are abandoned, discarded 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. Construct: Construction. Make the thing resource from existing other available resources.
   3. Borrow: Many of the resources we need, others have.
   4. Donation: Some people have things they don't use. (Borrowing. Individual or organization who already has the resource lends it.
   5. Donation. Individual or organization who already has the resource donates it - this is different to someone actively purchasing a resource explicitly to donate it, see Donation by proxy transaction below).

1.2.

 Donation by proxy transaction

Anchor

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

1. Necessity. 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 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

1. 1. for donation to yunity, it is highly recommended to record the name of

1. 1. donor, date of transaction and a copy of receipt - if the donor consents. Recording these details

1. 1. is not to glorify

1. 1. the donor but to

1. 1. identify where yunity is still indirectly reliant on money

1. 1. - this knowledge will direct efforts into finding ways to avoid the use of money for acquiring the resource in future.
