Outcome Funding-A New Approach to Public Sector Grant Making

At all of its levels, a primary function of government is to give out money. Government "funds" many groups to carry out public purposes. This book presents a new approach which shifts funding to investment. It replaces the traditional "Request for proposal" process with a sharp focus on key investor questions: "What are we buying?" & "What is the probability we will get it?" OUTCOME FUNDING asks grant-seekers to define their customers, their product, & their performance target. The long proposal becomes a short plan as government (as well as foundations & other donors) seek to make their money work as hard as do their people. A key gain to grant-seekers: they no longer have to write one document to get money & another to spend it. The framework presented has been tested in a number of state & local governments throughout the U.S. Authors are President of The Rensselaerville Institute & Director of New York State Division of Substance Abuse Services.William, Harold S. is the author of 'Outcome Funding-A New Approach to Public Sector Grant Making' with ISBN 9780962979804 and ISBN 0962979805.
