OUR PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO BE ACCOMMODATING TO THE EVER CHANGING NEEDS AND CHALLENGES THAT YOUNG FARMERS ARE UP AGAINST, SO WE STRUCTURE OUR MONITORING SYSTEM TO PRIORITIZE COMMUNICATION OF NEEDS AND CHECKING IN WITH OUR STAFF, OVER RIGIDITY TO THE APPLICATION'S ORIGINAL FUNDING OUTLINE. IF A RECIPIENT'S PLAN FOR USE CHANGES IN ANY WAY FROM THE OUTLINE OF USE ON THEIR APPLICATION, THEY ARE REQUIRED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH OUR GRASSROOTS MANAGER TO UPDATE AND GET RE-APPROVAL OF THAT CHANGE. THIS HAPPENS BY EMAIL OR BY PHONE CONVERSATION THAT GETS LOGGED IN OUR SALESFORCE RECORDS FOR THE CONTACT AND THE GRANT PROGRAM. FOR REPORTING, EACH RECIPIENT HAS TO SUBMIT A FINAL REPORT IN NOVEMBER, DETAILING HOW THEY SPENT THEIR FUNDS AND THE IMPACT THE GRANT WAS ABLE TO HAVE ON THEIR OPERATION. TO LOWER THE BARRIERS INVOLVED IN PARTICIPATING IN THIS FUNDING, WHICH IS PROVIDED AS PHILANTHROPIC FUNDS BY CHIPOTLE WE IN 2020, DID NOT REQUIRE THAT FARMERS KEEP US UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE FUNDING SEASON WHICH IS ALSO PEAK FARMING SEASON FOR MOST OF OUR GRANT RECIPIENTS. WE ALSO DID NOT ASK FOR RECEIPTS FOR DOLLAR BY DOLLAR EXPENSES, JUST VERBAL AND WRITTEN UPDATES TO CHANGES TO THE ORIGINAL PLANS, AND FINAL OUTCOMES OF THE GRANT'S USE. SELECTION: SELECTION FOR THE RECIPIENTS HAPPENS THROUGH A TWO-STAGE REVIEW PROCESS THAT INVOLVED A FIRST ROUND OF SCREENING FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR THE PROGRAM COMPLETED BY A MEMBER OF YOUNG FARMERS STAFF AND TWO HIRED FARMERS. THIS INITIAL REVIEW FILTERED BY COMPLETENESS OF APPLICATION AND STRENGTH OF RESPONSES TO MOVE JUST OVER 200 APPLICATIONS TO A SECOND ROUND OF A REVIEW COMMITTEE MADE UP OF FARMERS AND PROGRAM STAKEHOLDERS FROM YOUNG FARMERS, SOUL FIRE FARM, AND CHIPOTLE. THIS FINAL REVIEW UTILIZED A RUBRIC WHERE EACH APPLICATION WAS GIVEN A SCORE BY EACH OF 5 REVIEWERS. SCORES WERE COMBINED AND THE TOP 50 SCORING APPLICATIONS WERE SELECTED FOR THE PROGRAM.
