The foundation granted money to its parent entity. they are able to monitor grant activity by the parent entity as both entities share the same accounting staff. the foundation is the fiscal sponsor to gaba and as such, the foundation talks regularly with gaba staff about grant activity as well as any grant requirements and acknowledgements. in terms of action to equity, rooted philanthropy had made a grant to minnesota hmong chamber (another organization that the foundation fiscally sponsored until the relationship dissolved in the first quarter of 2025). when that fiscal sponsorship dissolved, rooted philanthropy directed the foundation to disburse the remaining grant money to action to equity, the new fiscal sponsor for the minnesota hmong chamber where the remainder of the grant activity would be monitored and carried out. in addition to written instructions from rooted philanthropy, we also obtained bylaws and board documents demonstrating the relationship between the minnesota hmong chamber and action to equity.
