Funding Process HMUKC
We as a collective exist to promote and explore the ideas and practices to be found in the book Hospicing Modernity by Vanessa Machado De Oliveira and the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures website, in the British Context. Therefore, we will distribute funding according to the principles described in the book and the GTDF website.
We start from the premise that;
•we share the stewardship of this money,
•we will want to fund anyone who wants to access this fund from the HMUK group,
•we don’t want to have power over each other,
•we don’t want to take on the role of saying yes or no to each other’s ideas/proposals,
•we trust everybody in this group to do internal work and reflection before putting forward a way that they want to access and use the funds.
We see our main task collectively is to simply find an equitable way of sharing the funding guided by the principles above.
Suggestions for how we might want to use funding
Internally
The costs associated with meeting together as a HMUK group ( closed/ open to others) in person and online using exercises/ frames from GTDF as a step off point for composting our shit together and doing inner work, contemplation, reflection, interruption. ( we imagine this could include some potential time costs for some individuals )
Externally
Seed experiments to test out different methods/ processes/ projects/ approaches to Hospicing with other people/ organisations/ contexts outside of the group - these experiments could be conducted with others from within the group, solo or with others outside the group. Sharing how we might share our co-learning enquiry as we go with ourselves, with any people we work with, and with a wider potential audience?
Website? Substack? Podcast etc
Distribution of Funds
£10K for collective happenings
This is to support gatherings/ happenings/ and activities for the HMUK collective to do together, with the maximum number of us involved. E.g., supporting internal type meetings/gatherings online and in person (us as a collective / with others who are familiar with Hospicing Modernity) where we compost our shit together, do inner work, contemplation, reflection, interruption. We also anticipate this pot would cover costs of sharing our co- learning enquiry (as above).
£10k for Seed Experiments
These are outward facing experiments to test out methods/processes/projects and /approaches to Hospicing Modernity in the UK context.
They could be done solo, with others from the collective, or with others outside the collective.
Steps to release the funds
The steps will be slightly different depending on whether the request is to the Collective Fund or the Seed Experiment Fund.
•Proposals for Collective happenings are brought forward to one of the HMUK’s regular meetings and the meeting decides ( through consent based decision making ) if there is energy and agreement from the collective for this proposal. If so, a working group is formed to coordinate input and logistics ( as per previous HMUK collective events e.g. in person gatherings/ rotational co-ordinators) Someone from the working group fills in the Open Collective expenses form and oversees the budget.
•Collective Happenings to be undertaken between October 2024 -August 1st 2025
Those wishing to do seed experiments put themselves forward by 15 October 2024 for experiments to take place between October 2024- August 2025.
They will then constitute a Seed Experiment Group who will take collective responsibility for the funding distribution process guided by the principles:
•We will want to fund anyone who wants to access this fund from the HMUK group
•We don’t want to take on the role of saying yes or no to each other’s ideas/ proposals
•We trust everybody in this group to do internal work and reflection before putting forward a way that they want to access and use the funds
The formation of the Seed Experiment Group will enable everyone to choose whether or not they want to be involved in this more individually and externally focused work of the collective. People not involved in this group will be able to remain fully engaged with the work of the wider collective.
Expectations of each other
Any person running a seed experiment will:
Share the project/ proposal with the group in a google folder
Share the learning/ reflection with the group post activity/ event in a google folder and at one of regular online gatherings
In this way, the seed experiment work will feed back into the work of the wider collective.
Review of the overall Funding process.
Funds and process for both collective happenings and seed experiments will be reviewed at each handover of co-ordination team. Activity to be completed by October 2025
