Collaborative Funding (Consortium Funding)

The funding of human service program by two different resources (governmental, private, or both).

Collaborative funding implies knowledge of the other resource by both funding resources and a working agreement to share the funding a program. An example would be a city/United Way sharing of costs for a recreation program in a specific city offered by a boys' club.
