Application Project for Municipal Funding: A Case Study of the Jonatan Prijatelj Association

The social distress of people in Slovenia has increased in recent years. Humanitarian associations play an exceptional role in alleviating this human distress. Associations and their existence are largely dependent on co-financing or success in applying for ** public tenders.** I focus on an analysis that will demonstrate how ** complex, inconsistent and time-consuming the procedures for obtaining funds** are, which associations and institutions need for their operation.

Problem

The social distress of people in Slovenia has increased in recent years. Humanitarian associations play an exceptional role in alleviating this human distress. Associations and their existence are largely dependent on co-financing or success in applying for ** public tenders.** In the diploma thesis, the focus will be on the activities of the ** parents' association of children with cancer JONATAN PRIJATELJ** and a detailed elaboration of the process of obtaining funds through a public tender.

Solution and Method

I focus on an analysis that will demonstrate how complex, inconsistent and time-consuming the procedures for obtaining funds are, which associations and institutions need for their operation. The thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part, I present the JONATAN PRIJATELJ association, the purpose, operation and objectives of the association.

In the second part of the thesis, I wish to present or simplify the procedure for applying to a public tender. The objective is debureaucratisation of procedures, as this consequently means greater success of associations in public tenders and ultimately better and higher-quality operation of humanitarian associations. Using an example, I wish to demonstrate how to improve and, above all, be more successful in public tenders.
