Access to flexible funding, indirect costs, compliance demands and short project cycles.
Funding arrangements influence who can participate, lead and sustain their work. Eligibility rules, application demands, payment schedules and restrictions on overheads can exclude organisations or leave them carrying costs that grants do not cover.
Questions for practice
Who can access funding directly? Are application and reporting demands proportionate? Do budgets cover the full costs of delivery and institutional work? Is there flexibility to adapt to changing priorities?
What ILLA explores
ILLA examines how funding rules and practices affect local leadership, organisational sustainability and equitable participation. We connect practitioner experience with practical questions about cost coverage, flexibility and access.
