If you have a Partner License and have enabled Experience Cloud sites, Market Development Fund objects are available in your org.

1. From the App Launcher, find and open **Fund Allocation**.
2. Click **New** and enter the name, budget, channel partner, and amount.
3. Save the allocation.

Allocations can be updated. The budget associated with the updated allocation must have the same validation status as the original.
