EAPN Fund – the reasons for it • Monitoring of the financial situation of EAPN members and the reality of cuts in public funding for NGOs has lead EAPN to develop a fundraising strategy • Objective 2 of the 2012-2014 EAPN Strategic Plan seeks to ensure a sustainable, member-driven organisation

EAPN Fund • Management • Timely input from EAPN Executive to feed into management Committee • Management Committee: 4 people appointed by EAPN (renewed after each Bureau is appointed), 2 Independent people, I representative of KBF and 1 agreed independent Chair • Secretariat of the Management Committee by KBF

  9. Major Donor Programme • See separate presentation from Optimus

  10. Individual Donor Programme • Strategy and Proposal to be developed in 2012 • Aiming at 100 people per Country where we have a Network donating 100 Euro per year (average figures). • Need to develop mechanism for how to collect such donations using systems such as the trans-national giving programme in KBF.

  11. Principles/Constraints to inform spending • Support EAPN Matching Funds requirements • For example Prize will be in core programme but paid for from the fund. Likewise alliance building will be for alliance activities that arise in our core work programme. • Spread of Support • The Fund has a special role to increase the financial capacity of National Networks. This shouldn't mean just spreading the funds equally but it does imply an effort to over time support as many Networks as possible. It should also take account of which Networks get support from our Projects approach. • Transparency • The Fund management should be transparent in the way funds are spent and should seek to build on inputs from EAPN members.
