People often ask us what our situation is financially and how we budget our programme. Well, the situation fluctuates from year to year. On the whole we do a massive job on a shoestring budget. This is made possible by the support we receive from many volunteers on the one hand and donations by sponsors, friends and well-wishers. 

The next paragraphs provide a global view.

Volunteers help us

Our projects have been possible largely through the support we receive from many people who provide their services on a voluntary basis. The volunteers in question performed a wide range of crucial activities:

• members of our board of Trustees;
• administrational staff either working in our central office or from home – over the years there have been thirty of them;
• researchers visiting public libraries to retrieve photocopies of manuscripts and of other rare publications;
• authors of books and articles who allow us to publish their material on our websites;
• over a hundred volunteers in 25 foreign languages translating in total more than 2000 documents;
• academics working with us on constructing our research reports on topical issues.

Their contribution amounts to a massive unseen investment in our work.

We run the projects

We incur essential and regular expenses in executing our projects, maintaining their outcome and extending their impact as widely as possible.

Our unavoidable costs comprise:

• Salaries
• Equipment. PCs, laptops, printer, scanner, telephone, etc. in central office.
• Internet. Domain name protection, service provider for a total of 18 websites, maintenance and updating of their contents, etc.
• Events. Organising conferences, meeting key contacts, travel, etc.

To meet these expenses we require an annual budget of £ 85,000 – equivalent to $ 115,000 or € 98,000.

Please, become our ally!

To be able to fulfil our mission we need your financial support. Through your contribution you enable us to reform the Church and to liberate so many people from unnecessary burdens.

• Become a Friend. By giving us a regular donation you provide more security to our work.
• Become a Sponsor. Your larger donation serves as a healthy injection of much needed resources. You become like a pillar in a cathedral, helping to uphold the structure – a structure made to do justice to God, a truly cosmic God whose ultimate essence is Love.
