Resolution to Become a Monthly Sustainer for RUMAH for 2024

Whereas, RUMAH (Raleigh United Mutual Aid Hub) is experiencing a financial crisis due to their previous fiscal sponsor pulling their support and donation platform,

Whereas, RUMAH has struggled to recoup monthly donations (“sustainers”) despite acquiring a new fiscal sponsor and donation platform,

Whereas, RUMAH, as of June 2024, only collects around $1700 of their $4500 expenses per month,

Whereas, RUMAH is a mutual aid hub that serves as a community center for Raleigh’s leftist organizing,

Whereas, Triangle DSA frequently uses RUMAH’s space for events such as but not limited to presentations, film screenings, neighborhood meetings, and social gatherings,

Whereas, Triangle DSA is comfortable in its budget, with $20,000 in the bank and minimal yearly expenses, per our Treasurer,

Be it therefore resolved that NC Triangle DSA will commit to being a monthly sustainer to RUMAH by donating $100/per month for the remainder of 2024, thus providing a financial buffer in which RUMAH can recover and expand its amount of monthly sustainers in the community. This amount is in addition to per event payments and will not act as a substitute or pre-payment for venue rental costs.
