Unity Fund & Auroville Fund
“Auroville Unity Fund” (Unity Fund) was created in February 2006 to establish a common pool for all the incomes of Auroville. It is the channel for all grant, donation and contribution income that comes to Auroville from both external and internal sources. This enables the Unity Fund to present a wide view of both Auroville’s funding situation and the use of its available funds.
The Unity Fund has been established as the primary channel for all income into Auroville. For the most part, this purpose has been fulfilled with the exception of a portion of the unplanned Government of India grants, which are received and disbursed by the Auroville Foundation Office without being routed through the Unity Fund.
The Unity Fund, administered in the Financial Service office at the Town Hall, is Auroville’s official channel for receiving and disbursing all internally generated income from commercial units, all donations and grants (both foreign and Indian) to the various Auroville trusts, projects and units, as well as all the contributions and reserves from the commercial trusts of Auroville. A 1% administration fee is charged on all donations and contributions except those for Matrimandir and City Services.
