Income Management
Strategies to manage income
Simplistic Model
-
one grant per project
-
no effort required : finance system should be adequate
Combined Grant Funding
-
many grants per project
-
acquittal becomes judgemental with underspend
Distributed Grant Funding
-
funding can be used for many varied projects
-
joint funding may be required (ie matched)
-
funds may need to be dynamically allocated and re-allocated depending upon project expenditure
-
requires intensive monitoring and tracking
Multi year funding
- each model above may be for a year and then a further release as a separate grant
An appropriate strategy is required to manage each of these cases separately
