Basic Income Ireland is a voluntary organisation that depends entirely on membership subscriptions and donations.
Basic Income Ireland is:
- non-sectarian and independent of political parties
- committed to non-violence and to truthful communication both internally and externally
- committed to participatory, democratic and dialogical processes, reaching decisions through deliberation and consensus procedures wherever possible
- an egalitarian and safe public space for asking questions, deliberating ideas and suggestions about basic income, discussing differences and trying out ideas with others in a respectful and caring fashion.
Donations are welcome at any time. We do not accept donations from organisations that we believe to be inconsistent with our objectives and principles.
Membership is open to anyone who wishes to learn more about, and/or help advance, through reasonable legitimate agreed means, the goal of introducing basic income.
Members may pay either a standard subscription of €10 per calendar year or a higher, supporting subscription of up to 0.25% of their annual income (i.e. €25 per €10,000 income).
