[cma-l] Mediabox - Love em or hate em?

[Phil Gibbons BCfm 93.2fm]

Mediabox have funded many projects from the Community media sector which is 
great. We at BCfm received a small amount of money to work with some young 
people earlier this year.

How many of us now regret ever being involved with this funder?

Since our project finished three months ago (far exceeding the outcomes set 
out in the agreement), Mediabox, Under the name First light, have been 
continually asking for extra pieces of evaluation, justification and 
paperwork which is actually taking more time than the initial project did.

Has anyone else had this problem with Mediabox?

I am willing to put a case together to ask First Light about their 
procedures and to help them in any future funding they may be involved with 
so it can work better for both parties.

I would like to meet with First Light on behalf of CMA members so need some 
case studies.

No need to post to everyone, but directly to me would be great.

Thanks

Phil
