This document is so on the ball. I have long wished to speak to funder
meetings to try and explain how their policies create a huge administration
overhead for small community organisatiions that is almost impossible to fund.
I hope this document is taken note of.
I'd probably say a panel approach may have problems that could prove a
disadvantage to smaller less understood causes, last year we experienced this
when two COGS committees in our region combined.
However there are other ways that could possible improve efficiency and cut the
administration burden, such as, a standard "approved by all funders"
application form and a simple and standard reporting/accountability
document/process.
Another alternative would possibly be for organisations or fundraisers to be
able to achieve an "approved" status with funders in some way, which could then
negate the need for repeating some of the basic requirements that funders
currently require. Funding application packages in some cases are huge and
timeconsuming to put together, it would be really helpful to minimise this,
leaving time to be better spent on development and service delivery.
Well done MECOSS!
