A contingency plan in place can reduce the harmful effects of the challenge that surfaces. The development of financial contingency plan is through strategic scenario planning and develops the actions to be employ only upon the occurrence of anticipated future events. A contingency plan will protect the chemical dependency program from unforeseen threats or events that could interrupt the success of the program. This requires the source of revenue to be readily available to the chemical dependency counseling program in prison. Public-Private Partners However, for any financial contingency plan to be successful there needs to be sources of revenue available. One source of revenue is the public-private partner. There are many forms of the public-private partner that can be put to use by the program. The Operations and Management model involves a public partner (federal, state, or local government agency or authority) who contracts with a private partner to provide or maintain a specific service (North, 2011). Through O&M, the public partner retains control over the chemical dependency program and retains management control. The next type of public-private partnership is the Operations, Maintenance, and Management. In this public-private partnership the public partner will retain...

Often times the funding source has a specific set of requirements that the program and agency must meet in order to obtain or maintain funding. The program planning and evaluation process is greatly affected by this. The needs and expectations of the stakeholders influence program planning and evaluation because they must adhere to specific restrictions placed upon them by the IRS and other government agencies. The funding source usually wants to proposed program to have similar goals and objectives along with similar values. The program planning may be changed in order to line up with the values of the funding source.

...A program, no matter what type of services it provides, needs a funding source in order to continue to provide its services. Funding serves as a fuel on which all programs/organizations run. A business can take different avenues to attain funding, and more than one option can be used. The Salvation Army receives funding for its programs through several avenues. Salvation Army seems to be most effective due to strong partnerships. The partners donate finances as well offer their services through volunteering. Most of the Salvation Army’s funding is through donations. The public is able to make donation. Faith –based government grants are also a source of funding for the Salvation Army. The rehabilitation program is the only Salvation Army program that does not receive funding through government grants. Most Salvation Army locations depend on the income from their thrift store to provide needed funds for the rehabilitation program. United Way is also a primary source of funding for the Salvation Army. A percentage of annual campaign proceeds are donated from United Way chapters. Local and regional campaigns also provide funding. Corporate foundations that financially support the Salvation Army are Nationwide, Wendy’s International, Rotary and Kiwanis, along with educational outlets and banking investors. The Salvation Army is an organization that is known for having a long history of service. This outstanding history allows the Salvation Army to experience a broad base of...

...How To Prepare and Present a Successful Business Funding Request EVERY BUSINESS NEEDS CAPITAL Successful businesses are well planned and well capitalized. Being well capitalized means having the ability to access capital when your business needs it. Being well planned is the first step towards being well capitalized. The Cost of Capital I have watched many entrepreneurs lose valuable opportunities because they thought the cost of capital was too high. They spent too much time negotiating over the cost of the money, while their window of opportunity closed. The cost of capital should only be a consideration of the function of losses sustained by not having it. Simply put, if it costs you one dollar in order to make two, are you ahead or behind?

...Alternative Funding Ziada Meraz Program Planning and Grant Proposal Writing in Human Services HSM/270 Shelley Johnson Feb 15,2015 Alternative Funding Traditional funding through government agencies and corporations who donate to organizations and agencies is becoming harder and more competitive to attain; more organizations are relying on them when less money is available. The economic conditions are making it hard for more tradition funding methods to bring in enough revenue to match the amount of grants requested. More and more agencies are turning to non-traditional sources to generate the income they need to keep their programs operating. Even those sources are becoming more difficult to find, but with a little work and a lot of creative talent they can be found. The Santa Rosa Philharmonic Youth Symphony (SRPYS) is no different than other organizations that strive to provide a human service to a target population. In this case, the population is the youth of the Santa Rosa and surrounding areas that appreciate music and want to further their musical education. The local schools have lost funding for their music program and this organization wants to help pick up the deficit by offering a program to allow students to continue their education. The funding is all that is necessary since the agency already exists, has a facility, and has staffing which can work with students; the budget to run the additional program is the stalling point to the inception...

...stable source for their funding. This has then led to a change in structure of banks’ funding in Australia. This report will identify major components of banks’ funding with a concentrating on the change of banks’ funding composition. The report also include some predictions for the banks’ funding structure in the next two years under the assumption that the Reserve Bank of Australia has been successful in lowering interest rate to increase economic activities. II. Major components of banks’ funding: In general, there are five major components of banks’ funding including deposits, wholesale funding sources with short-term and long-term wholesale securities debt, equity and securitization. Deposits, in 2012, account for almost 54% of total banks’ funding. Wholesale funding, which comprise short-term and long-term wholesale debt, constitutes further 40% of bank funding. Long-term debt securities are those issued with the term to maturity of more than a year while short-term securities have term to maturity of less than 12 months. The long-term and short-term debt markets can be divided further into either domestic or offshore debt markets. Within domestic debt market, short-term securities debt is mainly money market securities and long-term securities debt is mainly bonds (Hunt, 2011, p. 43). Additionally, offshore debts, which can be either in foreign currency or in Australian dollar, are foreign liabilities raised overseas. Two others components of banks’ funding are equity...

...is Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools (CMS), the eighteenth largest in the United States. Regardless of its size CMS’s funding is derived just as all of the other smaller school districts throughout the state of North Carolina. There are multiple contributing sources of taxation to fund school districts; coupled with state financing and federal financing, CMS depends upon county and local municipality tax revenue to fund its schools. States possess the constitutional right of taxation, upon their residence, to fund government entities and school districts. There are multiple sources of taxation imposed by local, state and federal governments. The greatest source of funding is derived from real property taxes, levied by the local, city, and county governments. CMS enjoys a small amount of discretionary funding; in 2010-2011, 26% of CMS’s entire annual budget was provided by Mecklenburg County; 55 % was allocated from the state; 16 % came from the federal government; and 3% from miscellaneous and special revenue sources. Local county funding is derived from multiple resources, including real property tax and businesses, county sales taxes and fees. This paper will discuss the various sources of tax and funding received by CMS; how those monies are allotted; the effects of student achievement in relation to funding, and recommendations for improvement. Funding Sources As all school districts in North Carolina, CMS is dependently funded: The majority of the one billion dollar-plus...

Conclusion 7. References Question 1 Does offering covered bonds hold the answer to credit rationing (credit crunch) in a financial crisis or does it just offer banks the opportunity to increase their margin? Discuss critically. Introduction In the US, credit crisis of 2007-2008 demolished the securitized mortgage bonds and many of the participants left the market never to recommit themselves in the near future. This lead to an drop in securitized debt issuance where the banks began to hoard cash and reduce consumer lending leading.

They shifted their focus onto the European Financial Market System which managed to minimise the impact of the credit crunch through its well established covered bond program. Credit Crunch Credit crunch is explained as a period of increased non price credit rationing beyond that of typical recessions whereby credit has become less affordable or less available.

...Vehicle Keywords: microfinance, funding, inefficiency, coordination, FX risk, guarantee, credit bureau Abstract It is expected that microfinance services at present affect more than 533 millions of people, including the families of the clients.[1] A third of the capital needs is satisfied with international funding. Despite the fact that almost two hundred million people depend on international capital sources, channelled through local MFIs and number of the sources is likely to double within the next ten years, transactions happen in an environment without coordination and lack central authority, which would prevent wastage of idle potentials of economies of scale. More so, the international funding is burdened with serious obstacles such as concentration of investment on few regions and institutions, FX risk endangering the local debtors and lack of information sharing between the sources, leading to duplicities and inefficiencies. The goal of this paper is to quantify the annual financial losses incurred due to lack of coordination and to propose the founding of Global Microfinance Financing Authority (GMFA), a which would face the aforementioned challenges through innovative instruments. According to estimates of this study, forming of the proposed body would prevent substantial annual losses, today absorbed by the clients, raising the cost of capital for the poor entrepreneurs. 1.
