How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)
The Foundation has the following grant programs, and the annual budgeted amounts are approved by the Board: Program Grants (including Innovation grants, Responsive grants, Board discretionary grants, the Member and Staff Match Program, Giving Hearts Day Awards & Incentives, and Named Fund and Fiscal Sponsor grants) and the Strategic Platform Initiatives: Health & Wellbeing, and Organizational Effectiveness. For the named fund and fiscal sponsor grants, the advisor of the fund or fiscal sponsor project makes a recommendation for the grant on a grant request form. The Director of Development and Development Specialist confirm that the recommendation fits within the guidelines of the fund/fiscal sponsor agreement, that the recommended grantee has 501c3 status, verifies there are sufficient funds available for the grant and submits the grant request to the Executive Director for final approval. Any charitable grant that is $10,000 or more is sent with a grant agreement for the receiving organization to review, sign, and return. They are then required to provide the Foundation with an Impact report within a year of receiving the funds.
