How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)
An annual report is required from all organizations that have received a grant from the organization, which is reviewed by staff and then reviewed with the Board of Directors. The report requires a narrative and financial account (in U.S. Dollars) of what was accomplished by the expenditure of the grant funds during the period covered by the grant. To ensure compliance by grantees, they are required to sign a grant contract that binds them to provide a report on activities performed with the grant. The organization holds multiple telephonic conference calls to discuss programs among grantees and uncover challenges and successes. In addition, the organization holds one in-person conference which all grantees are required to attend. MAZON also uses site visits, phone calls, emails and letter communications to monitor the grantees' activities and expenditures.
