Funding, Costs, and Sustainability

Note: Adhoc Support CIC is not externally funded or a “free-to-run” organisation!

Our operations are self-funded: Community costs—including legal, professional, and administrative expenses—are covered proportionally by member, user, and supporter fees and donations.

In some cases, the collective fund may pre-finance costs, but everyone must contribute fairly towards shared goals for sustainability. Contribution scales, proportions, and terms are always communicated in writing before collective actions/projects begin.

The Adhoc Support CIC Sustainability Model

    • Membership fees: Annual fee ensures fair and transparent contributions to the collective fund.
    • Service fees: Special services carry transparent, pre-set fees.
    • Donations & Support: Anyone can contribute at any time, supporting those in need.
    • Project-based contributions & success fees: Financial gains from group action are shared with the community fund (typically 10–20%).

Pre-financing and Cost Sharing

Some costs are pre-financed by the collective fund and later shared proportionally among all project participants, so no one bears the burden alone. If someone is unable to contribute, the community will help—support is always available.

Transparency & Legality

Adhoc Support CIC operates as a UK “Community Interest Company” (CIC). All costs, fees, and contributions are clearly communicated and documented, effective only with member approval.

What’s in it for you?

    • You’re not alone: Community means sharing costs and efforts together.
    • Transparent, fair, predictable: Costs are known in advance—no hidden charges or unknown risks.
    • Everyone takes part: Proportional contribution is the key to our success and sustainability.

The foundation of Adhoc Support CIC’s sustainability is that everyone—member, client, or supporter—contributes fairly and transparently, ensuring long-term, responsible, community-minded support.
