Who is the Code of funding practice for?

This Code of funding practice is aimed at government funders and non-profit organisations in receipt of public funds. Not all criteria in the Code will apply to all funding arrangements. In general, however, most parts of the Code will have applicability to all funding arrangements but require different emphasis depending on the funding purpose and the category of funding arrangement being used.

At their best, non-profits are close to and trusted by their communities; they may provide important ways for communities to meet their aspirations and to solve problems. Investing time and effort in the negotiation phase of many funding arrangements (where applicable) will increase the chance of aligned outcomes, shared purpose, a clear understanding of how funds will be used, and an efficient reporting of results.
