Mandate

In brief, the IBG decides how to allocate unrestricted funds to strategic projects and also restricted funds as appropriate. Here is the IBG's mandate.

Unrestricted funds are those acquiredraised by Fundraising through a fundraiser website or by XR's Regular Giving through standing orders, where donations may be used for any reasonable XR UK purpose. IfSeparate from that, a donor makesmay make a 1 off donation that is unrestricted or for a specific part or process within XRXR, thenwhen it isbecomes restricted. If the specified purpose is already being funded by unrestricted funds, then the IBG with approval from Finance can simply increase the amount available from unrestricted funds,

Advice from SOS is that the IBG's mandate could be presented better with clearer sections on Purpose, Accountabilities and Domains.Domains Thisand that work is in progressprogress. andIt will also include reviewing the mandates of the Finance and Fundraising circles.circles to ensure all 3 circles are best placed in XR's structure.
