This grant was awarded from the City of Asheville Community Block Development Grant (CBDG). The guidelines are very strict and specific to receive the funding. Detailed reports are required quarterly and funding is released by reimbursement only. This means the City will not release any funds without receipts and detailed explanation on the spending of the funds. Bountiful Cities Program Director Nicole Hinebaugh monitored the implementation of the grant with scheduled frequent meetings to ensure the spending of funds remained within the scope of the grant application and approval. This was the first time our organization entered into this type of grant process, because of the incubation of Patchwork and Bountiful Cities relationship of incubating this urban farm this particular grant was appropriate fitting the need for expansion. From our experience we would not apply for this funding due to the amount of reporting that is required by our agency without adequate compensation from the grant funds. Pt I Line 2 The procedures for monitoring the grant funds were 1) creating a detailed timeline to ensure the spending of funds were complete by the dates of when funding was available and ending date. 2) Schedule dates of meetings with Bountiful Cities staff and Patchwork during the grant cycle to ensure the project and spending were on schedule. Frequent meetings were required for clear communication to determine spending and outcomes were only within the scope of the approved application. 3) list the tasks to be accomplished between meetings 4) during meetings collect and or make copies of all receipts and or invoices appropriate for reimbursement 5) collect all data and information for quarterly reports required by the City to ensure reimbursement 6) final grant report Pt VI, Line 11b The 990 is prepared by independent accountants, reviewed by management, presented to the Board for review, proposed revisions and final approval.
