The following criteria should be followed by the REF when applying for such calls for proposals: • The proposal shall be in line with REF mandate and objectives. • REF shall ensure the participation of Romani NGOs and, as much as possible, shall present the proposal in association with the local Romani NGOs, or sub-contract Romani NGOs for implementation. • The proposal shall not represent serious reputation risks for REF. • The proposal shall be in line with REF strategic direction in the concerned country or countries. REF can also contribute its own funds to the proposal. Calls for proposals are discussed in the Fundraising Committee, and a decision is subsequently made by the Committee. Because of the frequent short notice given for the call for proposals, if required, a copy of the proposal is sent to the Executive Committee with a one-page summary sheet for approval. In case the proposal has a very short deadline, the Executive Director can decide to submit it before having received an answer from the Executive Committee. In case the Executive Committee rejects the request received from the Executive Director, the REF retrieves the proposal. 9
3 Governance 3.1 REF Network In 2015, a Cooperation Agreement was signed by REF, REF Hungary, REF Romania and REF Slovakia. In 2018, the Cooperation Agreement was revised, updated and signed by all the Foundations operating under the brand REF. The Cooperation Agreement defines REF Network, the relationship and cooperation among the foundations in the REF Network. The member foundations are hereinafter also referred to as REF Network Entities or REF Entities. Figure 1: Structure of REF Network 3.2 Governing Board of REF The primary responsibilities of the Governing Board are as follows: • Nomination of REF Entity Board members; • Consulting with Roma stakeholders on education related issues as necessary to inform general REF policies; • Addressing and resolution of issues confronting REF, as necessary; • Deciding on the core financial support to REF Entities. 10
