The Phoenix Party Fund
Funding the Party’s own political life
In development
The Phoenix Party Fund is not yet open. It becomes the Phoenix Party’s donation point once the Party is registered with the Electoral Commission. Until then, this page sets out what it is for and how it will operate.
What It Funds
The Phoenix Party Fund pays for one thing: the Party’s own political costs — building the platform it needs, registering it, and running its activities for as long as the Party exists, whether that ends at the referendum or continues beyond it. It does not fund the government the Party may go on to lead; government is funded through the Treasury and taxation, like any government, not through a party’s own donation fund.
It does not fund community projects, the Phoenix Charter or u-Reka platforms’ running costs, the inventor’s legal cases, or commercial work. Each of those has its own fund. The Party Fund is political money, kept apart from everything else by design. The variable Platform Fund operating-service fee applies to eligible non-party fund activity, not to the Phoenix Party Fund. The inventor’s reserved licensing and royalty payments are separate as well.
A Fund Tied to the Party’s Own Life
Like the Party it serves, this fund continues for as long as the Party does. The Phoenix Party is formed for one task that can never be redirected — what becomes of the Party itself once this task is completed and operational is for its own members and the electorate to decide. If the Party is ever dissolved, its remaining lawful balance is intended to transfer into the Phoenix Fund, to serve community projects, after debts and liabilities have been settled and subject to the Party Constitution, Financial Scheme and applicable political-finance law. The vehicle’s remaining fuel is intended to become part of the people’s standing community fund. Nothing is kept for private distribution.
Where the Money Goes
The Phoenix Party Fund will operate in full daylight, under the rules that govern political funds:
- In — donations toward the Party — accepted, once it is registered, only from permissible donors under Electoral Commission rules, with donor details recorded as required, permissibility checked, reportable donations disclosed, and digital imprints included where legally required.
- Out — the Party’s registration, its platform, and its ongoing political activities, for as long as the Party exists.
- On dissolution — any remaining lawful balance is intended for the Phoenix Fund for community use, after debts, liabilities and applicable political-finance obligations have been satisfied.
- Always — kept strictly separate from the Phoenix Fund, the Platform Fund, the War-Chest, the IP & Legal Fund, and the BizKit-Tin Fund. Political money never mixes with community, operational, legal, or commercial money.
Supporting the Party
Until the Phoenix Party is registered, this fund is not open for donations. When it opens, the compliant donation route will appear here.
