BALANCE ACCOUNTABILITY

How Milestone payments work

Your first payment will be released on successful completion of onboarding including Proof of Life and agreement of your Statement of Milestones.

​

The first payment will be your costs up-to completion of Milestone 1 divided between the number of months needed to complete milestone 1.

​

Then the milestone outputs need to be demonstrated with evidence to the Challenge Team and IOG.

Once approved, payments to achieve M2 will begin to be distributed

​

Example

​

Total project request: $100,000

Time to complete: 12 month

Milestones: 4 including completion

M1 cost: $25k - 4 months to complete

M2 cost $20k - 4 months to complete

Etc
