CHE NL financially healthy

Seven years ago a number of people supported the fledgling CHE NL by taking a Synergon of Euro 1,500, which meant they paid their contribution for the next seven years forward. Recently we thanked these donors of the very beginning for their confidence, and we asked them if they would be inclined to enable the work in this way again. You, too, we invite cordially to become a donor if you aren't yet. Here is more information on how you can make your donation.

Before making a donation, you might want to know how CHE is doing financially. The answer is that it is doing well. Most of the work is done by volunteers: the people who fulfill roles, host the bi-monthly salon evenings, do research within the constellations, organize the internal retreats and make up the Board of Stichting CHE are all volunteers. Furthermore, we are endowed with a fund from which we can pay people who do auxilliary work and those who commit to flagship projects that require more time than can be asked of a volunteer. To determine a fair remuneration, we ask: “What do you need in order to be able to do this?”. This results in some people being paid within a project team while others offer their time for free, or people receiving different amounts for the same kind of work. By clarifying the tension that might result from this, we contribute to finding new models of earning.

Should you want to contribute with an amount per month, per year of for 7 years, then your gift would for instance be spent on expanding the theory and praxis of meshworking, deepening the work with the energetic architecture or projects that result from the collaboration with the very diverse international CHEs. Whatever we do, it is always 'practice what you preach'. People who are actively engaged with CHE experience first hand what is required to co-operate towards a common purpose in such a way that the gifts of each generate essentially new solutions. This we do each time we convene wherever and with whomever.

Seven years ago, a number of people supported the start-up CHE NL by taking a Synergon of E 1.500, in other words by transferring their contribution for 7 years in one go. We recently thanked these first-time donors for their trust and asked them if they would be willing to make the work possible again in such a way. We also cordially invite you to become a donor if you are not already a donor. More information about this can be found here.

Before you donate, you may want to know how the CHE is running financially. The answer to that is: good. Most of the work is done by volunteers: the people who fill roles, host the salons, do the research in the constellations, organize the internal retreats, sit on the board. These volunteers give their time and also pay all the costs they incur for this labor of love. For those working on flagship projects that require more time than can be expected from a volunteer, we have a fund from a generous donor. When determining the amount of the amounts, we start from the question: "How much do you need to be able to do this?". It therefore happens that one person works for a paid project and the other unpaid, or that one receives more than the other for the same work. By entering into tensions when they arise during such experiments, we contribute to finding new revenue models.

If you now wish to contribute with an amount per month, per year or for 7 years, your gift will be spent, for example, on continuing the salons that we have been organizing fortnightly for more than 7 years, expanding the theory and practice of meshworking, the deepening of working with the energetic architecture or projects resulting from the collaboration between the very different international CHEs. The motto is always 'practice what you preach'. The people who are active at the CHE experience firsthand what it takes to work together towards a common goal in such a way that the gifts of all lead to essentially new solutions. We do this every time we get together in any form and with any company.

Do you want to support this way of thinking and acting, you will find the account number here. Of course, CHE has the ANBI status, which means that donations are deductible. The policy plan for the coming years can be found here. If you would like more information, please contact one of the people who play a role at CHE NL. Thanks!
