Our annual assembly matters for two reasons. First, it’s where we reset shared priorities and make governance decisions in public, not in side conversations. Second, it’s the moment we can turn member energy into concrete work by approving a small set of funded projects that volunteers can actually deliver.
This proposal bundles the assembly logistics with a lightweight participatory budget. That combination is intentional: it shows how Concorder can handle real governance and real action in one place. The meeting date and venue affect attendance and accessibility, so they are treated as real choices. The project funding decision uses a clear approval-style approach so the association can see what is widely supported and what needs rework.
Total available: €18,000. The intention is to fund two projects that can start within weeks of the assembly and report progress publicly.
Vote on the date and venue options, then evaluate the projects. Use comments to suggest sharper scopes, partnerships, or volunteer capacity constraints that the board should factor in.
A comfortable spring slot that can work for both in-person and hybrid formats.
More daylight and easier travel, but pushes project delivery later into summer.
Earlier timing for faster project start, but competes with spring holidays for some members.
Good for calm discussion, clear acoustics, and members who prefer a quieter environment.
Optimized for attendance, late arrivals, and easy navigation for first-time participants.
Works well if the assembly should also feel like a community gathering, not only a formal meeting.
Monthly drop-in sessions with partner professionals for short, practical guidance on housing, employment, and basic administrative issues. Includes translation support on a pilot basis.
At least 200 consultations in 6 months and a published guide of common cases.
Small grants for resident-led fixes: signage, cleanup equipment, community garden materials, or accessibility improvements in shared spaces, with a simple reporting template.
20 micro-grants delivered with before/after documentation.
A short, intensive program pairing workshops (CV, interviews, practical digital skills) with a few employer-led sessions and mentoring.
60 participants, with follow-up tracking after 3 months.
Nonprofit governance context and board practices.
General guidance on evaluation and learning for programs and projects.
