Is it Just Me??

Is it just me who CHOKES on their coffee when they hear this ??
Today i gave my presentation to the audience and always finish off with
" W e are very proud to say we are not a Charity but the worlds biggest community group and have never applied for funding, all we raise goes back to the community""
Next up after me was a lady, who i know, and has run the place she runs for years who finished off by saying
""" We have received some funding and we are going to spend it on Market research to find out how we can do things better "
WHAT ????

IS IT JUST ME ??? AM I BEING PICKY HERE ?? i almost choked on my coffee but was too polite to ask why ??
Thoughts please , apart from that it was a good day LOL

Unfortunately some funders, especially the lottery, require evidence that the need for your service has been proved, and they normally look for proof that the research necessary has been carried out by, or verified by, 'professionals'.

I agree Norms, funding is precious if and when you get it and I can think of other worthy things money can be spent on rather than marketing! Thank you for all you do to highlight the plight of others your just brill
