Resourced

Resourced is the past participle of the verb resource and is used as an adjective or verb to indicate that resources have been provided or allocated to a person or project. To resource a project means to supply the necessary funding, personnel, equipment, and materials to enable work to proceed. A well-resourced program typically has ready access to these inputs.

Common contexts include project management, education, government programs, and media production. In project management, resourcing involves planning, budgeting, and scheduling to ensure that personnel and assets align with milestones. In education and nonprofit work, a resourced school or program has adequate funding, facilities, and staff to support students or beneficiaries. The term is often used descriptively—well-resourced versus under-resourced—to reflect current inputs rather than outcomes. In corporate or grant-funded settings, resourcing also covers the ongoing allocation and reallocation of resources as priorities shift.

Usage notes: resourced does not guarantee success and can reflect inputs without implying efficiency. It is closely related to resource management and capacity planning, and can refer to tangible resources (money, equipment) or intangible ones (expertise, time).
