The 2008 World Service Conference adopted this project to produce updated and easier-to-understand pamphlets about self-support. This project has two main goals: to change the way the average member thinks about self-support and individual contributions, and to encourage groups to contribute directly to each level of service for a more stable fund flow that better covers the cost of services.

We are working on drafting two pamphlets, one more graphical in nature, geared toward groups, and the other geared toward individuals and intended to raise awareness about members’ role in supporting services. These pamphlets will be offered for approval at WSC 2010 to replace our existing pamphlets on self support, IP #24, “Hey! What’s the Basket For?” (1988) and IP #25, Self-Support: Principle and Practice (1998)
