How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)
Partner agencies submit quarterly reports detailing how many clients were provided assistance or units of service that were performed during the grant cycles. They substantiate what services were given and the services were in line with the uses of the grant. Volunteers review these reports to verify the funds were being used for the intended purposes and the outcomes are enough to justify the grants. Staff also benchmark these quarterly reports leading up to the final yearly report on the programs funded. Volunteers hear yearly reports from the program administrators directly once a year and ask them questions about the program being funded. HOIUW staff conducts yearly audits of the program at each location to verify data is accurately being recorded and reported.
