<div class="gmail_quote">Hi Marilia, here are my thoughts on the funding issue:</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">[1] Does IGF follow a certain funding model? I see a lot of government donors from the list so I am assuming only that the funding is for policy innovation. If funding is relied on governments there is a strong determination to prove that whatever program there is should really work (impact and cost). So I take it that there is a need to define and implement a funding model. </div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">[2] What is the funding needed for? To be more specific on what it is needed for might narrow down a list of organizations to approach. Most of these organizations have probably laid out their plans for philanthropy so we're looking at a few research work needed to check out these organizations. </div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">The institution I work for here in Texas gets most of our funding from federal grants and private donors. We get a lump of our state funding from a title grant that hands out the funds to priority institutions - think of it as an "improvement" grant that includes professional development and partnerships in learning communities. Bottom line is, we have grant writers who write, research and report because most grants are competitive. Here in Texas, educational insitutions use a Texas-design transformation or turnaround model for implementation.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">Anyhow, these are just my thoughts on the matter. I'm not sure how the UN does it, but it would be helpful if clarified. Thanks.</div>

Is there any more relevant source about it?<br><br>I have never actually participated on reflections regarding the funding of the IGF, I am trying to understand what are the issues and the scope of changes that can be introduced to improve the current voluntary trust fund. Any comments are very welcome
