Pay for Success Bonds - 2012 budget
1. Pay for Success Bonds - 2012 Budget
The 2012 President’s Budget designates $100 million that may be used for Pay for Success bonds. Under Pay for
Success, Federal programs contract with a financing organization to measurably improve outcomes for at-risk
populations. With philanthropic and other investors providing up-front funding, the Federal government pays only
if clearly defined outcomes are achieved. Pay for Success leverages private resources to drive evidence-based
innovation and to invest in what works.
Pay for Success funding is spread across seven pilot and innovation grant programs in five agencies: Education,
Labor, Justice, the Social Security Administration, and the Corporation for National and Community Services.
Federal agencies would only use the designated funds for Pay for Success projects if there is agreement with a
State or locality and a financing organization that a promising Pay for Success pilot is ready to be launched.
The Budget includes appropriations language allowing unused Federal funds (e.g., if Pay for Success pilot does
not achieve results) to be de-obligated and re-obligated for other high priority programs.
