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

All grant applications are reviewed by panels of volunteers for both types of grants - community support and community transformation - and in each of the three strategic impact areas (healthy community, youth opportunity, community resiliency) as well as by the community investment steering committeee (cisc). final funding decisions are made by the uwlc board of directors. all uwlc program grant awards are based on full financial disclosures submitted at the time of initial application. during the period of their award, all grant recipients are required to submit annual progress reports to uwlc which include the following information: 1. the amount of uwlc grant funding received and expended by the program during the reporting period. 2. the number of clients served by uwlc funding during the reporting period. 3. for community support grant recipients, the measurable progress that has been made toward achieving the program goals outlined in their original grant application. 4. for community transformation grant recipients: a. the measurable progress that has been made toward achieving the strategic outcomes outlined in their original grant application; and b. an assessment as to whether the measurement systems that were proposed to monitor progress in the original application are being used, and if so, are they still effective. any questions arising from the reviews are collected and submitted to the program managers for response. site visits occur whenever deemed necessary.
