What is Pay For Success? Pay for Success (PFS) is: an innovative contracting model that… can leverage philanthropic and other private dollars to… finance services for a target population that… measurably improve the outcomes for the individuals and communities and, where… government can act as the payor (spends taxpayer dollars wisely) Jennifer – explain OSEP’s interest and What is PFS?

What is Pay For Success? In a PFS financing project: Well-defined population to receive evidence-based intervention Clearly defined and measurable outcomes for the intervention or services are determined upfront Private funders pay for the cost of the intervention or services Government pays back the private funders, with a reasonable return, only if the outcomes are achieved

What is Pay for Success? Government contracts to pay for agreed-on, measurable RESULTS An impartial evaluator assesses whether results are achieved Service providers expand effective programs with support from foundations or impact investors This allows government to better partner with and leverage the resources of philanthropic and other investors to help drive evidence-based innovation and invest in what works. Jennifer
