Form And Line ReferencePROCEDURES FOR MONITORING THE USE OF GRANT FUNDSFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationFORM 990, SCHEDULE I, PART I, LINE 2 Once approved for funding, each grantee must review and execute a grant agreement with Trellis Foundation. Expectations for the grantees and their respective projects, including reporting requirements for the progress report(s) and the final report are outlined in the grant agreement. Each project deliverable is also identified in the agreement. Grantees are instructed to provide at least one progress report on each of the items listed and to provide a report of expenditures to-date compared to the original budget submitted with the application. Grantees then provide a final account on the deliverables and budget at the conclusion of the grant period. Grant management staff reviews each progress report to determine if the grant project is progressing as anticipated. Specifically, staff looks for: A) Budget line items that seem to be falling short of anticipated costs B) Any changes in key personnel associated with the project C) Any obstacles identified by the grantee as impeding progress toward goal D) Any requests from the grantee to adjust the budget, deliverables or program activities. If there are significant issues noted in the progress report, staff will follow up with the grantee by phone or will schedule a site visit to determine the best course of action to address any concerns. If there are no significant issues noted, staff acknowledges receipt of the report and schedules the second disbursement of funding (if applicable). At the termination of the grant period, staff reviews the final report on each project and completes a close out report. This report summarizes the following: A) Project objectives and the degree to which they were achieved B) Observations about the project's success or lack thereof C) Financial status of the project The close out report also provides an opportunity for grant management staff to assign a letter grade to the project and indicate whether the grantee is a good candidate for future funding. If there are remaining funds in excess of $1,000.00 at the end of the grant period, grant management staff work with the grantee to ensure the return of these funds to Trellis Foundation.ExplanationTxt
