Objectives In this meeting participants will: • Understand what fund mapping is • Consider how fund-map data can be used to inform their work and the development of a collaborative financing plan • Provide input on the parameters that will guide collection of fund-map data • Identify next steps and a timeline for collecting fund-map data
Evidence2Success Achieves ResultsThrough Five Core Elements • Partnership • Strategic Financing • Performance Measures • Strategic Use of Data • Tested, Effective Programs
Our work to date So what can we do together to address the problem?
Think About … • The budgeting process in your agency • What drives decision making about how dollars are invested? • What are the limitations that make it hard to invest smarter? • What works well in the process? Investing Smarter for Greater Returns • Investing in what we know works • Investing efficiently – in services that provide the most benefit per dollar spent • Coordinating investments in shared priorities • Reducing remedial spending by investing on front end • Leveraging new public and private dollars to scale and sustain programs and infrastructure
Using Data to Align Resources with Shared Priorities We all agree that poor family management is a problem in our community… So what can we do together to address the problem?
Aligning Programs and Resources with Priorities Raises Many Questions… --- that are hard to answer with multiple agencies administering multiple programs funded with multiple funding sources with varying mandates and eligibility requirements. What are we funding already that addresses poor family management? Who are we serving with existing programs and services? How effective are those services? So what can we do together to address the problem? Which funding streams and staffing resources could be directed toward family support programs?
Bringing Together Budget, Program and Administrative Data from Across Agencies
Fund Mapping Helps Individual Agencies Review Investments Individual Agency • What are we spending per participant on contracted programs and services? • What do we know about how effective services are? • Are we investing in services that would be improved if staff were trained in an evidence-based model? • How much are we spending on prevention versus remediation? What might we save on remedial services with earlier intervention? • Individual Agency analysis: • Can help leaders invest smarter within their agencies • Identify opportunities for redirection toward shared priorities RandPF
Fund Mapping Provides the Foundation for a Collaborative FinancingPplan Partner agency review for redirection opportunities • Foundation for • collaborative strategic financing plan to support shared priorities: • Prioritized programs • Progress toward outcomes
Fund-Mapping Tool What resources do you have? • Web-based tool with data templates for public agencies • School system • Public health • Child welfare • Juvenile Justice • Social Services • City/County • Mental health/substance abuse
Fund-Mapping Tool What resources do you have? • Data templates collect three main categories of data: • 1) Key agency expenditures • Aligned with Evidence2Success outcomes • Deep-end spending • Prevention spending • 2) Community-based contract spending • 3) Investments in Blueprints programs
Fund-Mapping Tool What resources do you have? • Built-in analytics to easily run individual agency or cross-agency analyses of expenditures by: • outcome area • level of intervention • program area • evidence-based programs
How the Fund-Mapping Process Works 1. Finance lead provides fund-map data template to each agency. 2. Agencies provide spending and program data that finance lead enters inthe tool. 3. Finance lead can easily run analyses of cross-agency spending.
Understanding Fund Mapping: Key Points • The tool asks for aggregate participant and spending data • Each agency will only have access to their own agency data • The finance lead will have access to all data entered • We can continue to enter data in future years and generate trend data • We will reconvene after the initial data collection and analysis to consider ongoing use of tool What resources do you have?
Fund-Mapping Tool What resources do you have? • Questions? • Online Tool Demo
Planning for Fund Mapping • Review the handouts • As you review the sample analyses, consider: • How could we use this data in our agency? • Which analyses seem most useful/of greatest interest? • As you review the data fields, consider: • Who in your agency would be the right person to coordinate collection of data?
Steps and Proposed Timeline for Completing Fund Mapping Design Fund Map (Month 1) Identify and orient agency leads 1 Collect Fund-Map Data (Month 2) Tailor templates and enter data 2 Analyze and Report Fund-Map Data (Months 3 - 5) Analyze data, hold agency meetings and convene finance workgroup 3 Plan for Ongoing Data Collection (Month 6) Reconvene this group to share lessons learned and develop plan for ongoing data collection 4
Your Charge • Identify an individual who will act as lead for fund mapping and send contact information to Evidence2Success (within one week) • Have the person you identify as the lead or others within your agency work on the homework handout • Identify who from your management team and staff you would want to attend the meeting to share the fund-map analyses and coordinate with Evidence2Success to get that meeting on the calendar
