OUTSIDE AGENCY FUNDING POLICY A. Quasi -Nonprofit Agency Funding Levels If the County has entered into a contractual agreement with a quasi -nonprofit agency, which addresses funding levels over a period of time, the contracted amounts will dictate funding. 2. If the County receives a grant from a state, federal, or other governmental entity, any grant requirements will dictate. A local match required for a grant will be provided as stated in an agreement. If the County provides a certain portion of a match, then allocations for the local agency will change as the required match changes. 3. If neither a grant match is required of the County nor any agreement outlines a specified funding level, the agency's allocation will be determined in the same manner as outlined for nonprofit agencies (in Section I.C.). B. Quasi -Nonprofit Application for Funding In early March of each year, the Budget Office sends out application packets for the upcoming budget year. These packets are sent out to all quasi -nonprofit agencies that received funding in the current year. 2. Completed application packets and all additional documentation must be submitted to the Budget Office by May 1St in order to be considered for funding in the upcoming budget. 3. The application packets can be seen in Attachment A to this document. The application includes a description of the countywide purpose for the funds requested, a listing of the organization's board of directors, salary information, and various financial forms. 4. In September each year, the Board of Commissioners holds a Preliminary Budget Hearing and a Final Budget Hearing in order to legally adopt the Operating Budget for the next fiscal year. Each of these is a public hearing, and is advertised to the public prior to the meeting. Once the budget is legally adopted, the Budget Office will notify each agency of its allocation. C. Quasi -Nonprofit Responsibilities After Award of Funding In the event a contractual agreement or grant requirement addresses these issues, such agreement or grant will govern quasi -nonprofit agency responsibilities. Otherwise, these agencies fall under the same guidelines as nonprofit organizations in this policy. 2. Each Quasi -Nonprofit Agency receiving funding in FY2017-18 will be required to execute an Indian River County grant contract.
