SELF-SUPPORT OF THE WORLD SERVICES OF ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS The A.A. spiritual principle of self-support enables us to pursue our primary purpose of carrying the message to the still-suffering alcoholic with a shared sense of responsibility for our lifesaving work and without interference or financial dependence on outsiders. From our Fellowship's earliest days, the expenses of the General Service Office, and the world services provided by it, have exceeded the amount derived from contributions of A.A. groups and members. As a result, providing these needed services has necessarily been supported in part by income from the sale of A.A. literature. It is the policy of the General Service Board that income from literature sales should only be in amounts required to allow continued provision of vitally needed services and maintenance of a Reserve Fund. We hope that the day will come when A.A. groups and members, through their contributions, will be able to fund fully the services provided by the General Service Office. If that is achieved, revenues from literature sales will only be needed in amounts necessary to cover the actual costs associated with literature production and to maintain a Reserve Fund.

Approved by the General Service Board February 3, 2014 23

G.S.O. 2014

• • Balance Budget Place continuing emphasis on Self-Support by Fellowship Literature price increases (selected items) • Printing of commemorative Edition (First printing of the Big Book)

G.S.O. 2015

• 2014 revenue increases should continue FOCUS: Self-Support as sustainable revenue for A.A.’s future  Appreciation for Fellowship’s responses to contributions and to our Birthday Plan.

Grapevine assumptions:

1. 2014 projections show positive (with 2015 turning negative) results assuming that current restrictions on engagement activities remain in place.

2. Print subscriptions are projected to continue to decline in the absence of recommended communications activities and organization—wide support.

3. Potential for digital subscription growth, including the possibility of the replacement of print subscription fall-off, is also affected by Assumptions 1 and 2.
