MEASURABLE OBJECTIVE:

Number of grants submitted vs. grants awarded and the total of special revenues received.

TYPES OF REVENUE:

Entitlements - programs are called "entitlements" because individuals satisfying given eligibility requirements set by past legislation are entitled to Federal government benefits or services.

Formulary - A formula grant is awarded based on statistical criteria for specific types of work. The authorizing legislation and regulations define these statistical criteria and the amount of funds to be distributed. So, the term “formula” refers to the way the grant funding is allocated to recipients.

Discretionary - Discretionary grants permit the agency to exercise judgment in selecting recipients through a competitive grant process.

Competitive - is a process of proposal selection based on the evaluation of a reviewer or team of reviewers. Funding is based on the merits of the application, and recipients are not predetermined.

Private Non-profit Funding Sources - A private foundation is a non- governmental, nonprofit organization or charitable trust. Its principal fund usually comes from a single source, such as an individual, family, or corporation. The fund is managed by the foundation's own trustees or directors. A private foundation does not solicit funds from the public.
