CYC-Net Funding
The International Child and Youth Care Network (CYC-NET) is a registered non-profit and public benefit organisation in South Africa (031-323-NPO, PBO 930015296), running in terms of its own Constitution. CYC-NET is also approved by the South African Revenue Service to be exempt from paying taxes and duties [Section 10(1) (cN) of the Act]. Furthermore, as an approved public benefit organisation, donations to CYC-NET made inside the Republic of South Africa are tax deductable in the hands of the donors [Section 18A(1)(a)].
How is funding used?
Technology
Maintaining the ICT infrastructure which stores the extensive library of more than 40,000 pages of practical and essential reading for our field.
CYC-Online
Producing the online journal available every month, now offered as an e-book which is unique in the field — and access to all back issues.
Regular CYC-related news updates
Updated every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning with a news page about our field, a report, an opinion piece, a reading extract, regular features, press releases, links to relevant sites, an interesting page from our archives, a weekly podcast – and even a cartoon!
The Learning Zone Network
Maintaining 50 online modules offering 250 hours of directed learning, covering theoretical and practical themes of direct relevance to child and youth care practice.
The CYC-Net Email Discussion List
With over 3500 members, a lot of time and effort is involved in ensuring this monitored discussion list enables connections between practitioners, students, teachers, supervisors, trainers and managers throughout the world.
People
Everything CYC-Net provides is achieved through largely volunteer efforts! At most, we try to offer a small stipend to 2 people. That’s it. Everything you get from CYC-Net is a gift to you. So when you access CYC-Net, please pause and think about how others have contributed to your continuing professional development through these efforts.
The CYC-NET Constitution lists three important items about membership and funds:
1.
CYC-Net is open to all
All people interested or involved in the field of child and youth care are
welcome to participate in its discussions and make use of the web site.
CYC-Net was developed with the intention of supporting child and youth care workers who often are isolated and unsupported in geographically underserved and dispersed parts of the world, where access to libraries and low salary levels frequently prevents them from accessing any training whatsoever. It is only through subscriptions by universities, colleges, training facilities, service organisations and individuals that CYC-Net continues to provide this valuable resource serving the learning needs of the wider Child and Youth Care community.
2. Voluntary
subscriptions/donations
Those who provide a voluntary contribution/subscription
here will be able to participate more fully in CYC-NET's affairs (e.g. nominate
Board members, vote at meetings, receive reports, etc.)
3. CYC-NET can receive subscriptions and donations
Membership Fees and donations
Because of the international nature of CYC-NET and the wide diversity in our
members -
1. Fees and Donation options are price-tagged in US dollars. This
currency is universally understood and gives a common basis for calculation.
2. Members and donors may choose a price range which is comfortable for
them. An Associate Member (Individual) may choose, for example,
a $15, a $30 or a $50 price tag for Associate Membership.*
* Note that international exchange rates differ so widely that $20 may be a reasonable fee for a developed country, but may be quite out of reach for a member living within a developing economy.
