How we operate and how we are funded
The 99% Organisation is unusual: it is an all-volunteer organisation without a single employee. This means that everything we do is done voluntarily by our members, who give incalculable amounts of time, effort and expertise. None of this shows up in our funding, but it is by far the most important input we receive and we are immensely grateful for it.
Of course, we do have some expenses: we run a website, we produce reports, we run events in Parliaments for Members, and we comply with accounting and tax requirements etc. And so we also do have some income, which also comes as donations from our members.
The table below summarises our financial income and outgoings over the past two years.

At least for now, we intend to continue with our all-volunteer model, which means that we do not need to depend on major funding streams to continue our work, and we do not have to tailor our message to suit the wishes of major donors. This is a valuable freedom of action.
But if you would like to make a small regular donation to help us to continue and step-up our work, that would be much appreciated.
