Market Development Funds (MDF) Management for Administrators

View MDF Claims

Overview

Market Development Funds (MDF) enable vendors to co-fund partner marketing campaigns, events, and demand-generation activities to drive mutual pipeline growth. Once a partner executes an approved MDF plan, they submit an MDF claim with proof of performance and expense receipts to request reimbursement from the allocated fund pool.

The View MDF Claims screen within the Incentivize zone provides program managers and finance administrators with full visibility over all submitted claims across active programs. From this centralized dashboard, administrators can filter claims by approval status, trace claims directly back to their originating marketing plans, and validate claim amounts before moving accruals into the payment disbursement queue.
