Marketing Development Funds are funds that you can provide to your partners in support of their marketing initiatives. You can review MDF requests from your partners, approve or reject them, and even initiate a [partner funds transfer](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/partner-funds-transfer/transfer-funds-to-a-partner) to send them the funds.
