Open information requests
What we need.
Every claim on this site needs a source it can stand on, and the requests below now concentrate on one thing: the money. Where the Vision funds sit and who manages them, how Rapid Relief Team’s finances are structured, what UBT settled with the ATO, what OneSchool paid Unispace, and where the trust transfers went. The paperwork exists; filings already confirm the outline. If you are inside or recently out and have seen any of it, you can move the record from reported to documented.
How to reach the editor safely →Before you send anything.
Your identity is never published without your explicit written consent, and material you send can be used with your identity verified by the editor but withheld from the site. If you are a current member: assume devices managed through the church’s commercial network are filtered and may be monitored. Use a device and account the community did not supply, and see /contact for channels.
Photographs of printed ministry pages should include the volume title page or spine where possible, so the citation is complete.

Vision Foundation seminar decks, pledge forms, and announced totals
The Grace Trust's audited UK accounts confirm a "Vision Foundation" endowment that grew from 7.4m to 50.1m pounds between 2020 and 2024. Ex-member accounts describe fundraising seminars (under the names Vision Foundation, then Vision Growth / Vision Accelerator) with pledge targets in the hundreds of millions and totals announced to the room. We need the slide decks, pledge forms, campaign emails with targets, or recordings where totals were announced. UK filings account for roughly 50m pounds; the rest of the reported half-billion implies vehicles in other jurisdictions we have not yet located.

The UBT voluntary disclosure to the ATO
Later reporting says UBT made a voluntary disclosure and paid several million dollars to the ATO over FBT and salary-splitting for FY2021-24. Any document or first-hand account of that settlement would move it from activist-sourced to documented.

Which entity is paying RRT's lawyers
RRT Ltd (Australia) is suing a Canadian abuse survivor over a mascot logo in a US federal court, with Brown Rudnick lawyers on the papers. RRT's own press release insists the claim belongs to RRT, not the PBCC, but says nothing about who pays. A board minute, an invoice from Brown Rudnick, a legal-expense line in RRT Ltd's next ACNC financial report, or a first-hand account of how the engagement was approved would establish whether charitable donations fund the litigation.

Who manages the Vision funds, and where are they domiciled
The Grace Trust (UK charity 257516) put 6.5m pounds into a "Vision Global Growth Fund" (revalued to 27m, including an 18.2m single-year unrealised gain on unlisted holdings) and 15m pounds into a "Vision Investment Fund" (sold in 2024 for 15.6m to an unnamed buyer). The filings name no manager and no domicile; ex-members report Jersey. We need the fund manager's name, a subscription document, an investor statement, the valuation report behind the 2023 revaluation, or the identity of whoever bought the 15m stake.

Public-record lookup
Where Rapid Relief Team money actually comes from and goes
RRT's US filing reports conflict-of-interest transactions requiring Schedule L disclosure and nearly half its revenue as investment income; its UK charity lent 200,000 pounds to its own trading subsidiary; its US arm is an LLC controlled by a single member. We need: the Schedule L detail pages of the US Form 990, RRT Ltd's filed ACNC financial reports, the RRT Trading Limited accounts, and any invoice or first-hand account showing whether trucks, trailers, and consumables are bought or leased from UBT-linked or Brethren businesses.

OneSchool Global money that went to Unispace
A former Auckland school trustee has described, on the record, a Unispace invoice of NZ$648,000 plus GST for work independently costed at roughly NZ$120,000-200,000, a directive that Learning Centres worldwide be built exclusively by Unispace (then owned by Bruce Hales's sons, sold in 2021 for a reported US$300m), and sensitive discussions kept out of trust minutes. We need invoices, quotes, trustee correspondence, or trust minutes from any campus, in any country, that document what was charged and who directed the awards.

Meeting-room deed transfers to PBCC Properties
Title records, trust deeds, or correspondence showing a locality's hall transferring from a local trust to PBCC Properties Global Ltd or an affiliated trust (known internally as GAP). One UK charity filing shows a transfer for nil consideration; we are establishing the pattern across localities and countries.

The GCF: statements, transfers, and where the cash collections end up
RNZ reported ex-member accounts of a "money-go-round": congregational cash payments to the leadership, an offshore fund called GCF, and payment amounts varied so they would not look like wages. We need anything that documents the fund: a statement, a transfer record, a remittance instruction from a local assembly, or a first-hand account (anonymous after editor verification) of how weekly cash collections are counted, banked, and sent onward.
