FROM INTEREST TO AGREEMENT

A controlled donor journey

Registration creates an application record. It does not automatically create privileged system access or a funding agreement.

ACCOUNTABILITY

What a structured donor relationship should provide

Reporting scope depends on the signed agreement and disclosure permissions.

Restricted Funding

Funds remain linked to their approved purpose, budget and activities.

Activity Evidence

Programme records can connect activities with field evidence, responsible teams and expected KPIs.

Financial Reporting

Approved expenditure, proof, retirement and audit records can be linked to project funding items.

Governance Meetings

Monthly or quarterly review meetings can be scheduled and documented according to the agreement.

Community Benefits

Where applicable, benefit-sharing and livelihood outcomes are tracked with community validation.

Verification

Authorized verification can be used where the donor and MDF agree on the assurance scope.

Start with the donor registration pathway.

MDF will review the proposed relationship before system access, project assignment or funding commitments are finalized.
