The first-Valerio Melandri Italian blog on fundraising

The government closes the Agency for the third sector. The Minister made ​​the announcement to the Deputy Mayor Fornero Guide: "Sorry, but you had to force"

Data: January 29, 2012

It was in the air. Stefano Zamagni I had anticipated when I asked him to join the jury of Italian Fundraising Award 2012, new awards established by the Fundraising Festival to celebrate the fundraiser, the volunteer, the donor of the year. He said: "I would be glad, but possibly in May there will be the Agency." Well, my dear professor, he was right. No one as she has done so much for the Third Sector, and ran (with great difficulties, due to lack of budget and lack of power), the Agency also. Under his leadership has done something: a magazine, a series of important documents, reports and many reports and above all a tireless voice, which has made thousands of miles to promote the culture of the nonprofit. Under the previous direction, was essentially immobile, obviously inexperience.

But the problem is that when an institution does not have a budget, and above all has the power to give advice only "voluntary and not binding" on the problems non-profit organization ... there is' little to do. Counts for nothing. And then, except why "educational" (Zamagni and this was a sample), will remain little.

The Fornero (Minister) rightly says: "O here, the changes in the Authority - and today you can not - or keep it alive, with no power and no budget, no use. Better to close. " Frankly, how can you blame her? Too bad. Experience began with so much hope and unfortunately ended so inglorious. The Italian third sector has a great need to "watch dog", ie bodies of those "watchdogs" as the Americans say that in an independent and efficient system of producing the required certification of the results of the nonprofit that lacks so much in Italy.

    Dear Professor Melandri
    you think you can predict the short-term practical consequences for the third sector? or is matter of positioning and future developments?
    I'd love to have a broader view. thanks

    Valerio The problem is that there will be a lifting of the people (ie ONP) at the end just because the Agency to have a watchdog, with or without binding powers, I think the Italian ONP little interest ... many prefer to cultivate their vegetable garden without no one who will look into

    I share the opinion of those who say: "In a country where you do not touch a dollar of military spending and where you are going to spend 15 billion euros to buy 131 fighter bombers F-35 (each of which the coast ' equivalent of 183 nurseries) is frankly astonishing that it has decided to intervene in straight leg on the third sector has an essential function, often of subrogation with respect to deficiencies of the state, for our society. " We ask the government - immediate review of that decision would represent a boulder in the world of social cooperation, voluntary and social sectors. Rather Minister Fornero ask your colleague, the Minister of Defense De Paola, to waive any of the fighter F-35 (over 120 million euros each) and the resources to keep alive the Agency and to strengthen the volunteer will come out. "

    At a time of great change prompted by the crisis in my view, any measure opens up new roads.
    Large organizations: Agencies, Authorities, etc.. costs are difficult to sustain.
    I propose to open a dialogue on new ways both operational and financing.
    Fines for failure in funds that are hiring people with disabilities in Milan alone amounted to 10 mil. €.

    Let me be frank. As always.

    In principle, an institution that deals in a special way the nonprofit world seems a good thing.

    But the experience does not seem exciting in different points of view, including that reltivo the promotion and development of fundraising. I remember that the agency was not present on the roof of the question posed, or 5 per thousand or more.

    So do not weep for its possible elimination.

    I do not believe that the function can only be that of watchdog. A mutt guard goes well (and I think that can be accepted by non-profit - to say Francis) to the extent that is part of a strategic plan for development of the sector and its sustainability tools within the overall context of the challenge to revive the social welfare and community, without becoming a mere matter of this book and tax. The real problem then is to have a strategic plan on the non-profit. And that has made him the government (there have never had the past), do not have the forces poltiche and clearly do not even have the non-profit (sigh). Maybe you'd prefer a commission (operational, and mixed) that studies how to do it abroad and outlining possible intervention scenarios of an authority. The policy will do so and not putting together a representation of (weak and not shared) of representatives of organizations and academia.

    Leda is a speech, if you want to populist, but by golly if he is right! in the sense that how much money is wasted on unnecessary things!. but in fact the point is that as it serves no purpose. if it does not become an 'authority' or call it as you wish, however, something that has power, as it is, in fact it is worse.
    The 5 per thousand? postal rates? the taxation of the coop? As the great La Pira (Mayor of Florence), "unless we take hold of the levers news, financial and economic, to Catholics (and today might say nonprofit verbatim), will be only the freedom to do inane discussions about the value of life human "Exactly what happens to profit if you do not define" politics "a" strategy "of the nonprofit. but you think IIDonazione Forum and can do something? O serves as a great media exposure such as "truck drivers?
