BACKGROUND: Each fiscal year, non-profit organizations that deliver community services have the ability to apply for program funding from Orange County. In December 2016, the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted a funding target of 1.2 percent of the county's general fund expenditures, less the appropriation for education expenses, for the purpose of funding outside agency operations. Historically, the county had a funding target of 1.0 percent. Applications are reviewed by staff members for completeness and eligibility. The applications are then presented to a specific advisory board, depending on the subject matter. Each advisory board is responsible for scoring each application based on an application scorecard. The application scorecard is comprised of five weighted categories with a total possible score of 100. The five categories and the total possible points are: Mission (10 points), Collaboration Efforts (15 points), Customer Impact/Value (25 points), Results (25 points), and Plan for Implementation (25 points). The County Manager presents recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners, which approves the final allocations. Recipients are required to submit written program reports that include: goals, description of activities/challenges, revisions of timelines/budgets, and other relevant information. Funded projects are monitored for progress and performance, financial and administrative management, and compliance with the terms of Performance/Development Agreement(s). Monitoring may involve site and/or office visit(s).
