create efficiencies around regional activities. We will recognize unique local
needs and projects, which we regionally promote and support, but the locals are
responsible for acquisition of funds.
We identified who would be the fiscal sponsor or fundee organization:
a. Short-term – Oregon Rural Health Quality Network (ORHQN ) act as fiscal agent
b. Long-term – create 501c3 – GOBHI will contribute lawyer to complete task (in-kind)
We will ask for funding based on what we need (and not less). Identify if the project is
scalable. If so, then we can receive less funding. If not, then we can't accept funding
for less than what it costs to do the project (prudent/appropriate budget).
Allocation of funding is based on data-driven needs assessment with a baseline based
on need. We will look at a collection of data across all counties and allow for cost of
delivery.
We discussed who would be in charge of writing proposals. We want one person
to be the main contact person and coordinator of developing proposals. Proposal
development will be a team effort, with counties and lead organizations also
contributing.
Next step is to present to the RCAC at end of April. Also, we will reconvene the
group in early May to develop an event proposal.
