Principles
Part of being a Gaian is nurturing the organization. Preferably this is (primarily) in money.
Contributions in kind are very welcome and need to be coupled to the type of nourishment Gaianet needs in the form of an executable commitment.
For this phase we envision 4 nourishment streams:
A yearly contribution by Gaianet member
Contributions from Guardians who want to support Gaianet
Donations by Gaianet members and supporters
Grants or subsidies
We hope that Guardians will generate up to 70% of the organization costs. The rest to be split by membership contributions and donations.
Guidance
Our Guidance for your yearly contribution is € 30 per month per person. We prefer monthly payments.
If your input is time or service, please propose an equivalent for the monetary amount.
Higher amounts are very welcome, as are lower payments. A monetary contribution of € 0 is welcome too if you sent us your love and energy.
If you cannot contribute with money, please indicate what you aim to do to nourish Gaianet.
Providing your nourishment in other ways
The most effective way to contribute in a non-monetary way is to expand our network. This by connecting us to new supporters and guardians who can contribute monetarily.
Invite loved ones who you feel want to nourish Gaianet by sending them this [link]. Aim that at least ten persons get active
Introduce us to 2 – 3 persons who might be interested in substantially supporting Gaianet, like, for instance, a potential Guardian
Organize a birthday event where your birthday gift is a donation to Gaianet
Check Gaianet's website and see if you see an Asking that you would love to take on.
Where will your nurture go, and what do we need?
A core value of Gaianet is transparency. So, we love to inform you to what purpose your contributions will be used. We have developed three scenarios, calculating what is needed for the organization of Gaianet. The three scenarios are:
Current Core Team at Brazil salary
Full team, part-time salary
Full team, full-time salary
When you see the amounts, you might also appreciate the current core team's dedication to getting Gaianet through the first phase.
Please note that your contributions and your efforts for other people to contribute to Gaianet are significant. Every bit of nurture is love in action and very much appreciated.
Love in action!
Thank you so much, Gaians, for your time reading this.
Thank you so much for providing the nourishment with our organism needs.
Your contributions are essential for growing the roots of a New Earth by nourishing the Gaianet organization. Sometimes our love needs to take the form of money. But only if it befits you. As mentioned above, there are other forms too.
