What is the difference between Indirect Funding and Direct Funding?

Indirect funding is funding that an organization receives as the result of the genuine and independent private choice of a beneficiary through a voucher, certificate, coupon, or other similar mechanism.

Direct funding is funding that is provided to an organization directly by a governmental entity or intermediate organization that has the same duties as a government entity.
