Discussion of Outside Agency Funding Target and Funding for Non-Profit Capital Needs BACKGROUND: The FY 2016-17 Approved Budget includes funding awards for 55 outside agencies totaling $1,176,763. This amount includes $83,530 for 12 new or previously unfunded agencies. Each year, Outside Agencies submit funding applications to the County detailing program requests. These programs are reviewed by Advisory Boards and scored on a scale of 0-100 based on the following criteria: • What is the program's Mission? • Who are the program's Customers and what does the customer value? • What are the program's Results? • What is the program's Plan for implementation and improvement? As a part of the budget development process, Outside Agencies applications and scorecards are provided to the County Manager to assist in recommending decisions as part of the Manager's Recommended Budget each year. The Board of County Commissioners then approves final funding amounts as part of the Budget Adoption process in June. Performance Agreements are executed for each funded Outside Agency, and funding allocations to the agencies are provided on a quarterly basis throughout the fiscal year. The Finance staff has surveyed other local governments in North Carolina to review other funding target options for Outside Agencies.
