3. Direct Funding Information Allocation schedule describes which members will be receiving consortium dollars to provide what services which are aligned with the 3-Year Plan and approved by the consortium governing board. Expenditure reporting requirements are the same regardless of using fiscal agent and direct funding. Compiling of records can be done by consortium lead/coordinator. More and more consortia are selecting direct funding option based on the 5% cap on indirect costs. Some consortia authorize their governing board to certify individual, audited district records for final reporting requirements. Timeline for distribution may actually be shorter since formal MOUs must be in place with all members before distributions can begin.
