Form And Line ReferenceGrantmaker's Description of How Grants are UsedFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationFor the AK Mental Health Trust:CHOICES, Inc. helps clients apply for mini-grants through the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority. These applications are approved for a certain amount for specific expenditures. Upon funding receipt, CHOICES CEO verifies funds have been transferred into the CHOICES mini grant bank account. After verification, the client's case manager take the client shopping for the approved items on the grant award. After shopping, receipts are given to CHOICES Operations Director to submit to the Mental Health Trusts contract agent, Information Insights. CHOICES is required to return any unused funds to Information Insights within 45 days of the acceptance of the grant, unless an extension has been granted. CHOICES received a $50 administrative fee from Information Insights for providing services to the client. CHOICES does not determine eligibility for the grant nor does is have a say in the criteria for grant award selection or the actual grant award selection. CHOICES does maintain records to substantiate the amount of the grant award and the amount of approved expenditures against the grant. CHOICES either fully expends the grant or pays back the unused funds to Information Insights.For Credit Union 1: Grants were approved for $500 then reduced to $300. They help clients in need of Utility assistance, clothes, food, Meds, basically a small grant to help those struggling or to get them on their feet. Once approved, Choices received a check and it is deposited into the main account. Once the funds have been received the case manager takes the client shopping/pays bills. Choices tracks all spending and keeps receipts for audit purposes/good record keeping, but CU1 does not require receipts. Once CHOICES receives the funds CU1 is out of the picture. Clients have an unlimited amount of time to utilize funds and if clients are discharged unused funds can be used on other clients in need.For TABI Grant: Once approved, Choices receives a check and it is deposited into the main account. Once the funds have been received the case manager takes the client shopping/pays bills. Choices tracks all spending and keeps receipts for audit purposes/good record keeping. Clients have an unlimited amount of time to utilize funds. Receiptsare not expected to be sent back to TABI Grant funders.ExplanationTxt
