| Explanation | Breakthrough Energy maintains records including grant proposals and other information used to evaluate grantees, grant agreements, reports from grantees on their use of funds and project status, and follow-up information obtained while investigating any at-risk grants. Breakthrough Energy's selection process may vary, but in any event the organization will only make a grant upon a written determination that the recipient is a suitable grantee and the grant will further the organization's charitable purposes. If Breakthrough Energy receives information indicating that a diversion of grant funds has taken place, Breakthrough Energy will withhold any further funds and will investigate. If Breakthrough Energy determines that a diversion occurred, it will take appropriate steps to secure repayment and withhold future payments until it is satisfied future diversions won't occur and the grantee is taking appropriate precautions. | ExplanationTxt |
