How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)
The Foundation is committed to the principles of good grant making and due diligence, which includes ensuring that granted funds are used by each granteee for the appropriate purposes as approved by the Foundation's board of directors. In the case of competitive grants, an official representative of the grantee must sign a grant agreement form that acknolwedges that funds received will be used solely for the purposes outlined in the grant proposal and will not be used for any other project without the expressed consent of the Foundation and that any unexpended portion of the grant will be returned to the Foundation. All competitive grants also require a written final report including a description of how the grant was spent. If it is determined from the final grant report that the funds were not used for the intended purpose or that all funds were not expended, the Foundation asks for the funds to be returned from the grantee. For grantees of any kind of grant that are other than a 501(c)(3) and 509(a)(1) or (2) organization under the tax code, expenditure responsibility will be undertaken.
