How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)
Monitoring procedures the foundation transfers monies to ucla which assumes fiduciary responsibility for actual disbursement. criteria for selection of recipients are based on boundaries set by the establishment of the scholarship. ucla's internal audit department performs a review of grant expenditures made to campus using a sampling methodology. once the grant selection has been made they review all expenses recorded to confirm that the funds were used for the awarded purpose. internal audit communicates their findings to both the ucla foundation's audit committee as well as to the chancellor of ucla. this review is performed annually. grants to organizations other than ucla are either provided through donor agreements (e.g., donor advised funds) or another selection process. the foundation utilizes pre-award procedures (e.g., verification of 501(c)(3) status, etc.) and inquiries to ensure the grantee organization meets the requirements for approved program funding. no post-award monitoring is deemed necessary.
