How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)
Organizations that are recipients of planning & allocation (P&A) grants are required to go through an annual formal planning and allocations process in which they are required to submit their mission, explanation of their key programs, a financial performance summary for the past year and a financial budget for the next year. A planning and allocation committee of the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis, inc. (JFGI) then reviews this information and agrees to recommend or not recommend a grant for the upcoming year. Final decisions are made by the board of directors of JFGI. because all the grants are awarded to support the general operating expenses of the recipient organizations, there is not a monitoring process for the granted funds after they are paid. The recipients can use the funds for any use they deem appropriate within the context of the presented budget or program. While some of the grants included in schedule i are a result of programs supported by JFGI through our annual allocation process, we also have 94 donor advised funds, which distribute grants based on recommendations from the fund donors to Indianapolis, national and international not for profit organizations. Those donor advised fund grants are also included in Schedule F and can change from year to year.
Grants as reported on its Form 990 for tax year 2024; the application guidance above is general for this type of funder. Requirements change; confirm with the organization before applying.
