How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)
Spur sends cover letters with all its grant distributions that set expectations for reporting and recognition. for grants that are restricted to a specific purpose, the letters state the goals and terms of the grant. these specifics are tracked in a database. if a recipient fails to submit reports as scheduled, spur staff will reach out to the recipient organizations to check on the status of the grant and their report. because we maintain frequent communication with the bulk of our grantees as part of our services to nonprofits, we also ask for verbal updates while grants are in progress. when apprpriate, we make site visits to observe programs and items funded by spur grants.
