Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation Inc

How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)

Berkshire taconic community foundation requires annual utilization reports or receipts to substantiate the charitable use of grant dollars when scholarships and grants are paid directly to the recipient. the foundation also pays scholarship grants directly to the educational institution for the use of the scholarship recipient. grantees are selected on an objective and nondiscriminatory basis. the group from which grant recipients are selected must be sufficiently broad so that giving grants to one or more members of the group fulfills a charitable purpose; however, selection from such a group is not necessary if one or more grant recipients are selected on the basis of their exceptional qualifications to carry out the purposes of the grant or it is otherwise evident that the selection is particularly calculated to effectuate the charitable purpose of the grant rather than to benefit particular persons or a particular class of persons. applications are reviewed and selected for recommendation by the foundation's selection committees. scholarship grants: foundation staff and designated members of selection committees established for such awards contact high school, college and graduate school administrators as well as managers of other relevant community institutions to advertise the availability of the foundation's scholarship grants and to request that these administrators nominate potential candidates or encourage potential awardees to submit applications for scholarship ai
