The Mockingbird Society Policy

Issue: Amount paid to other organizations for in-direct administrative costs.

Background: The Mockingbird Society is developing the Mockingbird Foster Family Constellation Project which is a community based foster/kinship care service delivery model designed to stabilize children and adolescents by reducing multiple placements, allow siblings to remain together, ensure cultural relevancy and increase caregiver support and satisfaction by way of emergency and planned respite. Implementation of the current model will be in partnership with One Church One Child aka UJIMA Community Services. The evaluation of the project will be conducted by the UW Northwest Institute for Children and Families. As the project grows it is anticipated that replication of the model will occur involving other organizations both private and public. Additionally, the Mockingbird Times and other programs sponsored by Mockingbird Society will involve some evaluation components.

Policy Statement: It is the policy of the Mockingbird Society to pay a maximum of between 10-15% to any organization for in-direct administrative costs. This includes private and public organizations providing direct service as well as research and evaluation services.

Approved by BOD and Executive Director November 2003
