We solicit grant applications that describe the project or organization's work, carefully examining the proposed budget to ensure it will reasonably match the expected impacts. Grant recipients sign a grant agreement that requires all funds to be used for charitable purposes, and prohibits the grant from being used to fund any work that would fall outside of charitable work allowable by 501(c)(3) nonprofits. The impact of the grant and use of funds is reviewed through a formal grant report at the end of the grant period.
