Fundraising

XR operates almost entirely on contibutions from individuals. We never accept corporate sponsorship. Raising enough money for the rebellion to function, to amplify our wider messaging, deepen our relationship with supporters and create powerful content to serve the whole movement is one of the most crucial aspects of our work. Without it, XR would not exist!

Integrated Budget Group (IBG)

This group distributes income raised for XRUK in line with the movement’s Strategy. This means responding to requests for a movement budget and to fund rebellions.

A movement budget comprises regular costs such as VLE, rent, software licences, tax, accountancy etc. A budget holder for a rebellion or specific action can ask for funding, which is typically for equipment, travel, accommodation and subsistence.

The challenge is there is never enough money to go round and IBG has to see how a request aligns with our Strategy by supporting one or more of these criteria
-fundraising
-mobilisation (growing the movement)
-providing critical funcionality (VLE to support NVDA, software licences, warehouse rent, rebellion equipment)
engaging with cultural influencers (VIPs, celebrities, public figures)
