How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)

Fiscal monitoring: grantees submit monthly financial reports which detail program expenditures and revenues. back-up documentation accompanies the financial report. a spreadsheet is maintained that records monthly requests made by grantees and insures that grant requests do not exceed total obligation. program monitoring: relevant information for monitoring includes: 1) evidence documenting progress toward attainment of the service objectives outlined in the service provision agreement, as well as information demonstrating that clients have been given an opportunity to make a donation to help support the extension of program services; 2) completion of an acceptable client satisfaction survey or program evaluation; 3) evidence of provision of program provided to each client. on-site monitoring may also include: 1) interviews with both direct service and supervisory staff; 2) review of client files; 3) visits to both administrative and direct service locations. for the nutrition programs, unannounced visits are made to three meal sites in each project area. an annual visit is made to project administration to review records and results of kitchen monitoring undertaken by project staff and discuss any problems discovered during meal site and hdm monitoring. copies of monitoring reports are provided to grantees and kept on file as part of the organization's record of program performance.
