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

Procedure for monitoring use of grant funds inside u.s.: as part of the grant agreement, an agency agrees to operate programs in a manner consistent with information communicated to uwmd and to regularly report on those programs supported by uwmd funding. for grants made in support of program operations costs, the agency will report information based on six categories (demographics, zip codes served, dollars spent, success stories, outcomes and budget), unless special arrangements have been made and agreed to, in writing, by both the agency and uwmd. an approved outcome plan will be part of each program report, with results being reported in a manner consistent with the approved plan. failure to have an approved plan or to report in an appropriate manner will lead to a review of grant funding. any material change in the operating of a program that is grant funded will be reported to uwmd in a timely manner, with continued funding subject to uwmd review. as part of the screening process, all agencies are also required to sign a usa patriot act compliance form that requires agencies to certify that uwmd funds and donations will be used in compliance with all applicable anti-terrorist financing and asset control laws, statutes, and executive orders. uwmd also verifies current 501(c)(3) status and screens the agency to ensure it is not listed on terrorist watch lists. in addition to those agencies listed, uwmd also had donor designated funds to agencies in the amount of $916,506.
