How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)
Most of the funds distributed are for organization funds, therefore the organizations are the listed beneficiary in the fund agreement. They are required to use the money for a specific purpose and sign an agreement each year that they use it for such purpose. Other funds that are not organization funds go through a screening process and are approved by either the Grant Committee and then the Board of Directors or are approved by the Executive Committee. Discretionary grantees must report back on the usage of the grant within a year of receiving the grant.
