About the Finance & Numbers of the DFI Title XX Camping Services Program

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

The DFI Title XX Camping Services Program is a fee-for-service program, not a grant. This program also comes with several requirements and unique terms/rules set by the government. What are the rules around charging additional fees and deposits? What can you do if the funding doesn’t cover the actual cost of camp? How is this not considered a grant and why does that matter to both the camp and ACA Illinois? These questions and more will be addressed in this session.

WORKSHOP DETAILS

This session will cover:

• An overview of how allocations are determined by ACA Illinois and IDHS;

• Reading the Allocation Memo, including defining the terms;

• How to properly classify this funding in the agency’s bookkeeping systems (because it's not a grant);

• Review of how matching funds work, expectations of the agency, and calculating actual new money to the agency;

• Suggestions on how to offset the additional cost per client when this is only a subsidy;

• Stacking funding programs to get to the total cost of camp and potential conflicts;

• Rules on additional fees and deposits for campers/clients; 

• Implications of overestimating, low billing, and how to plan for future allocations; and

• Q & A time.
