Mission statement:	Mission Statement, as formulated when we officially became a non-profit organization in the Netherlands in 2010: To promote non-violently the unity of all and everyone in the world, while supporting our fellow human beings, promoting respectful treatment of plants, animals and human beings and the Earth; and to connect organisations with similar aims internationally. To function as not for profit. More detailed mission as carried out since inception in 2002: 1. To promote an all-win world that serves the well being of all people and nature; 2. To support the UN and Member States in building an all-win world--that respects and supports the well-being of all people and all forms of life 3. To promote research and make it widely available to promote the all-win approach to life. 4. To organize think tanks, seminars, workshops and discussions on how to implement and live with an all-win approach to life and relationships. 5.To build a global constituency for the all-win approach to life by forming partnerships and networks with individuals, groups and the United Nations and its Specialized Agencies; 6. To function as a not-for-profit organization. On Dec. 14th, 2009, the All-Win Network founded Commons Action for the United Nations together with Global Commons Trust. Its mission: By 2030 to help bring about an all-win global community and a shift to a commons-based economy based on the well-being of all people and nature. In 2011, it became a founder of the Commons Cluster of the UN NGO Major Group. It was able to send at least one representative to almost all conferences on Sustainable Development via UN-ECOSOC accredited organizations with which it had one or more gaols in common and it has in this way also given input to the process via NGO Major Group statements, letters to Heads of State and Government and UN Ambassadors and various Reports by the SG, including on Living in Harmony with Nature and the Compilation Document; The Addis Abbaba Agenda and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.Although the Stichting All Win Network Foundation is one participant, on equal footing with all other participants, it consider the Commons Cluster an important channel for its international activity and a means to carrying out its mission. The mission of the Stichting All Win Network Foundation is to empower organizations that share basic values but focus on quite different areas of activity by creating situations where these can work together. Its mission is to provide added value to other organisations with which it collaborates.
Year established:	2002
Year of registration:	2010
Organizational structure:	A Board consisting of minimally a Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. From the beginning, we have always also had 2-6 Board Members. Its function is to coordinate the activities and expansion of the Network and to pay its few official bills (web site, registration fees). The All-Win Network (as well as the Commons Cluster of the UN NGO Major Group within which the Stichting All Win Network Foundation plays an active role, are unifying networks of individuals and representatives of organisations whose participants share the same values (the well-being of all people and nature and a commons approach). The networks empower quite diverse participants to achieve much more than they can achieve on their own. With our global mission to create an all-win world, we work with groups on a basis of equality with quite different specialities and financial wherewithal. Each initiative is therefore decided by the relevant participants, using an open, participatory, commons approach and financed to the degree possible in kind, rather than with money. International initiatives are organized using free IT modalities and email lists. Our Instant Response Network summarizes and broadcasts relevant UN meetings that are available via the Internet to enable people worldwide to “think along” with the issues being dealt with at the UN. Participants send their insights to a web page opened for each separate issue and from their input reports are formulated and submitted to relevant Governments when they can be of maximum use (e.g. just before a relevant UN conference.) Since our inception in 2002 we have had the Emma Centrum as a venue for our activities, centrally located in Utrecht, the Netherlands and within easy reach also of Belgium and Germany.
Number and type of members:	We are a growing network with some 1300 on our mailing list, many of which represent (ECOSOC accredited organisations) organizations which work together both on ongoing initiatives and on a project basis. These individuals come from Asia, Australia, Europe, the USA, Canada, South American and Africa—mostly from Europe and the USA. All participants come from quite diverse areas of focus, while sharing the all-win approach to life. Their specialities include: sustainable development, including world citizenship, governance structures, sustainable living communities, Human Rights, gender issues, diverse forms of commons and how these contribute to a green economy, biodiversity,material and spiritual development. poverty eradication, alternative funding mechanisms for development, food sovereignty, Ubuntu, peaceful conflict resolution, communicating with Nature, integration of Nature into the SDGs, and much more. The all-win approach to life stresses the integral unity between all that is and focuses on ways in which the well being can be achieved for all—people and nature.
Affiliation with NGO networks:	Founded by two ECOSOC accredited NGOs--The Ass. of World Citizens and the Institute for PlanetarySynthesis,,we benefit from the NGO email list, IISD and Stakeholder Forum news bulletins, and various other UN sustainable development platforms
Funding structure:	Other sources Fees for education and training services Product sales and business services Funds from other Non-Governmental Organizations
Funding structure other:	Voluntary donations. Fees to attend our (educational) events. Mostly participants in our networks help to pay for participation in UN conferences. For rich and poor to collaborate equally we are funded in kind, sometimes through alternative currencies.
