How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)
Delta Dental of Wisconsin Foundation, Inc. (DDWF) carefully reviews each grant application it receives. Grants are awarded only after a thorough evaluation of both the recipient organization itself and the specific initiative outlined in the grant request. DDWF reviewed data from various entities on Wisconsin's oral health status to determine strengths and gaps within the State. From there, funding priorities were established to prioritize DDWF's grant-making decisions. Grants of more than $50,000 are reviewed and approved by the DDWF Board of Directors. All recipients of grants in excess of $25,000 are required to file an annual report with DDWF that describes in detail how the organization used DDWF's funding and the outcomes achieved. These reports are available for review by both DDWF's management team and Board of Directors. For smaller grants and general donations, DDWF may require follow-up reporting, depending on the organization and project.
