The Urban Child Institute

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

Potential grantees are asked to submit a grant proposal which must include a description of the project, amount of funding requested, program budget, results anticipated, and methods used to measure program outcomes. the grantee must also provide the agency's federal tax exempt certificate, the agency's audited financial statements and recent 990, list of the current bod and any other relevant program and financial related information. upon receipt of a grant application, the urban child institute (tuci) staff thoroughly reviews the application and if needed meets with the grantee and/or makes a site visit. applications are then forwarded to tuci's bod and grant committees are formed. the grantee presents their proposal to the committee and staff. during these interviews any questions are answered. the grant committee recommends to approve or reject the proposal and agrees on a dollar amount. these recommendations are submitted to tuci's entire bod for approval. if the grant request is for longer than one year, the organization must submit, on or before the grant's anniversary date, a report showing the progress made toward the goals and objectives as set forth in the grant and use of funds before subsequent funds are released.
