This Annex A is attached to a contract that determines the relationship. We maintain full control of the funds and funds are disbursed as reimbursement with proof of receipts and invoices. Advancements can be made with a written request and have to be closed out with receipt submission no later than 90 days. Quarterly meetings are done with the project management teams and annual meetings are done with the governing board of the organizations receiving grants to ensure project success.

All domestic organizations are considered nonprofit under Puerto Rico 1101.01 exemption that has equal basic requirements as 501c3 organizations in the United States. All organizations must send yearly their local nonprofit documents and good standings in Puerto Rico. Funds are disbursed through a reimbursement process after all receipts are reviewed by HASER. Furthermore, HASER retains variance of power over the funds and requires grantees to send proposals for pre-approval by HASER before HASER sends to potential donors. During the last quarter of 2022 , Hurricane Fiona hit Puerto Rico and we expanded two grants to Puerto Rico organizations that did not have local tax exemption but could show through governance documents that they are organized for public benefit (please see Schedule I). They had the same due diligence described above for local tax exempt organizations. Furthermore, because of Hurricane Maria we also purchased supplies in energy, water, food and health to directly distribute to families that were directly affected by Hurricane Fiona. With our collaborators we were able to distribute these supplies in a period of two months after Hurricane Fiona Form and Line Reference : Part VI Section B Line 12c All members of the Board of Directors and key officers are required to submit conflict of interest statements once a year before January 15th or if there is an occurrence of any event throughout the year where the disclosure is required under our conflict of interest policy.
