For most competitive and strategic grant cycles, organizations submit proposals in response to the parameters of a specific grant program, and grants are evaluated by committees comprising community representatives and ECF board members. Grants may also be recommended by staff based upon input from the community. In 2020, the majority of our usual, proposal-based grant programs were suspended in order to focus on Covid relief grants as described below. In March 2020, the Evanston Community Foundation (ECF) launched the Evanston Community Rapid Response Fund (Rapid Response) to foster a unified philanthropic response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Evanston. The strategy and purpose of the Foundation's response during the pandemic was based on deep listening to the community and on information and insights from a robust network of nonprofits, businesses, and local government. Grants were issued in three primary categories: Need, Collective and Enduring Initiatives, and operational support. To meet critical immediate needs related to food and housing insecurity and lost wages, ECF partnered with, and issued grants to, 501c3 organizations, as well as other community-based organizations and local businesses whose efforts were needed to address extensive need throughout Evanston. To ensure critical needs were met on a timely basis, grant processes were modified to include a blend of staff-recommended grants and proposal-based grants reviewed by a committee of community volunteers and board members. Many of the grants were issued monthly, with grantee reports due within 15 days of the close of the month, for evaluation before additional grants were issued. Regardless of the grant period, all grantees submitted reports on the use of funds and community impact within a specific time frame. Donor advised fund grants - grants from a donor advised fund may be approved and issued if the foundation determines that all seven of the following requirements have been met: (1) Grant does not require the exercise of expenditure authority; recommended grantees must be 501(c)(3) organizations, described in section 170(b)(1)(a), and not be classified as supporting organizations under the internal revenue service code section 509(a)(3). The foundation does not make distributions to any type of supporting organization. (2) Grant is consistent with the purpose, mission, principles and policies of the Evanston community foundation, including the foundation's equal opportunity policy. (3) No distributions may be made to an individual, including expense reimbursement to the fund donor(s), advisor(s) or related parties. No grants, loans, compensation or similar payments may be made to the fund donor(s), advisor(s) or related parties. (4) Grant recommendation does not include any reference to a charitable pledge or other personal financial obligation of the fund donor(s), advisor(s) or related parties. (5) Neither the Evanston community foundation, nor the fund donor(s), advisor(s) or related parties, will receive any tangible benefit, goods or services in exchange for the recommended grant(s). (6) If fund donor(s) or advisor(s) recommend grants to schools and/or organizations for various scholarship programs, donor(s) and any other advisor(s) may not participate in selecting the individual recipients; donor(s) or advisor(s) may not earmark grants for certain individuals, nor may they benefit from grants issued. (7) Grant recommendation is submitted in writing, either by email, letter or via the grant request process available on the Foundation's donor portal. To determine organization status under the internal revenue code, the Evanston community foundation subscribes to the Guidestar charity check service.
