Fundraising

XR operates almost entirely on contibutions from individuals. We never accept corporte 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 the most crucial aspect of our work. Without it, XR would not exist!

Financial Services

Accounting, bookkeeping; Managing and monitoring expense claims, Volunteer Living Expenses (VLE) claims; Strategic finance, supporting budget preparation, supporting budget holders, reviewing XR's financial and tax status.

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. For more info visit IBG.

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)
NVDA.

Certain roles may be for trained legal professionals, others for rebels who will be given all necessary training to provide support:

briefing rebels who may be arrested

observing at actions

supporting rebels who are arrested through legal advice and / or emotional support
