In short:

• Staying and/or working in the space does not require any financial contributions. We are applying for fundings and accept private donations.

Principles:

• We agree to use as little money as possible and as much money as needed in order to work towards our purposes and principles (see Constitution).

• We acknowledge, that by owning a house and being in a connected world at least for now we need to cover certain costs and we agree to do so.

• We prevent waste and promote sharing. Buying something is not sharing.

• We are honest with ourselves and others in our relation to money.

• We want to overcome coercion, the fear of not getting enough, dept and exchange (I only help you, if you help me)

• We enable money to go where it is needed

Criteria

• Money is used for the core costs of the houses (money that is needed for making possible to use it)

• We want to only buy things that are:

1. not possible to be shared, saved, borrowed or donated and really needed

2. at best not increasing suffering

3. healthy for humans and the environment

• Individuals are self-determined and can not be forced to (not) do something. Each one is asked to act to the best of their knowledge and belief and question themselves and others regularly and openly.

Taking

• Money is not allocated to individuals.

• The members get access to the bank accounts.

• Money can be used on a trust basis following our principles, values and this policy.

• Find Unanimous Acceptance (Const. §8b.) and if that’s not possible a Score Voting process (Const. §8c.) If:

1. more than 100€ are used

2. you are a Visitor or Volunteers and want to use money

Collect all kinds of receipts please and put them on the adress board in k22 office - they are needed for the associations.
We could put a cash money pot in the house? (To see what happens?)

Giving

• Noone is obligated to contribute financially to the space and its projects.

• Money is:

1. transferred to the Haus Kante Wurzen w.V. bank account in form of a donation or direct loan

2. aquired by funding

• Initiatives or support are welcome. Please contact a member.

Money talks:

During our annual vision talks (to be designed: at least once a year in February for two days) we will include money talks which include:

• personal reflection on our attitude towards money (current and vision)

• collective reflection on our attitude towards and how we handle money in the space together

• vision update: how we would like it to be and action plans for what should change including

• reality update: adapting the collective layer

Ideas: (not (yet) in action)
