Operations and administration aren’t afterthoughts at Stimpunks — they are how our mission actually gets done. What many organizations treat as invisible infrastructure, we treat as ethical work: supporting people, sustaining care, and enabling meaningful participation without extraction or burnout.
Our operational choices — from bookkeeping to decision-making, from planning to compliance — are shaped by our core commitments: presume competence, honor self-determination, and protect human dignity. We don’t run systems that work only on paper or for auditors; we build processes that work for real lives, real energy levels, and real constraints.
We also default to open about how we operate. That means our goals, budgets, reflections, policies, and process notes are public whenever possible — not as performance theater, but as tools for accountability, trust, and shared learning. This field guide explains how Stimpunks organizes work, distributes responsibility, and aligns administration with mission instead of burying it behind jargon or policed expertise.
Operations here are not overhead.
They are the backbone of justice, care, and real support.
Here’s where our Operations team documents how we run this thing, including the forms and the legal and administrative stuff.
