Funding model guidance

Use case communities are responsible for funding the delivery of use cases. This guidance outlines the different funding approaches that use case communities could take.

A range of funding (and delivery) models could be used:

1. A use case community member funds and delivers the use case solution on behalf of the community.

2. Use case community members collaborate and deliver solutions with their own resources.

3. Community members co-fund an external delivery.

4. The community collaborates to identify external funding pathways.

In models 3 and 4, OA Governance could administer funding applications and contracting on behalf of use case communities.
