# Release of funds

- Funding is never certain until it is actually in the bank account. Case study
- There are risks in spending funding before it is in the account.
- Donors release funds at very different speeds.
- Some donors may renegotiate their funding if they themselves run out of money or freeze their funding for political reasons.
- If people need water now, funding which will only be available in three months' time is useless.
- Some donors require repayment of funding if the agreement is not followed exactly.
