About this event
Frequently, social action projects seek to address gaps in public service provision. Projects can, understandably, feel that the public sector should fund them to do the work that public services should be doing.
However, small NGOs are in a different position from public services for a number of reasons. For instance, they have a level of flexibility that public sector organisations do not. That puts them in a position to respond more speedily and effectively to social needs.
Funding is always an issue for small organisations. But if accepting the funding means your project ends up becoming a mini-public sector organisation, should you turn down an offer of funding from the public sector? It is hard enough to get them to acknowledge what you are doing in the first place! Is it ethical to take the money. Is it ethical not to?
We will be talking about these and other issues, on the public – third sector continuum, in this, the third of our conversations. This conversation links with the fifth scheduled conversation on Money Matters.
