Financial Transparency and Donation Policy
At Future is Now Coalition (FiNC), we believe in complete financial transparency and ethical funding practices. To ensure we “practice what we preach” for political transparency and eliminating conflicts of interest, we are committed to ensuring that our financial operations are clear, honest, and focused on grassroots support.
Our Funding Principles
1. Small-Dollar Donations: We prioritize small-dollar donations from individuals, which empowers everyday citizens to contribute to our mission. This approach ensures that our work remains accountable to the people, not to wealthy donors or corporate interests.
2. No Corporate Money: FiNC does not accept any contributions from corporate PACs, federal lobbyists, or large corporations. Our commitment to ethical funding means we refuse any donations that could compromise our integrity or the trust of our supporters.
Transparency and Accountability
1. Real-Time Financial Disclosure: Once we reach our first $20,000 in donations, we will begin disclosing our financial status in real-time on this page. This includes:
- Total Amount Raised: Regularly updated to reflect our current financial standing.
- Average Donation Amount: Providing insight into the grassroots nature of our funding.
2. Detailed Reports: We will regularly publish detailed financial reports, outlining our expenses, funding sources, and how contributions are being utilized. This transparency helps build trust and ensures accountability.
3. Large Donation Transparency: Any individual contribution that exceeds $3,300 per person per year will be disclosed in clear reporting. This measure ensures full transparency and allows our supporters to see where all significant funding is coming from.
Building Trust with America
FiNC is dedicated to transforming American democracy through transparency and ethical funding. By relying on small-dollar donations and rejecting corporate money, we ensure that our mission aligns with the interests of the people we serve.
FiNC becoming a Nonprofit Cooperative: We are building an unprecedented legal structure as a Nonprofit Cooperative, or Employee-Owned Nonprofit, emphasizing our commitment to collective ownership and democratic governance.
Citizen-Owned Digital Democracy: The Digital Democracy technology will be structured within a Citizen-Owned organization, allowing every American to opt into an equal ownership stake. This structure will give Americans decision-making power in various situations as well as voting rights to decide who will run the organization and manage its technology. There is no monetary involvement required for ownership, and no profits will be distributed. This model is designed strictly to uphold democratic values and protect the organization from external influences.
Zero Profits and No Commissions: FiNC is dedicated to zero profits and no commissions, both for FiNC and DD. Everyone on the team will have set salaries, ensuring that all funds are directed towards achieving our mission.
Sweat Equity: Our team has been building this organization based on “sweat equity,” working unpaid up until this point to establish FiNC and drive our mission forward.
Join us in our journey to upgrade democracy. Your support, no matter the size, is crucial to our success. Together, we can build a more transparent, accountable, and representative political system.
