This document must be signed and returned to verify agreement to follow all terms and conditions of the grant.Speaking with a Grantee: During a phone/skype call, program staff will verbally review terms and conditions of the grant agreement, verify bank information on file and review reporting schedule/requirements to ensure both parties mutual understanding of the terms of the grant.Monitoring Grant Awards: GO Campaign program staff monitor grants to identify potential problems and areas where technical assistance might be necessary. This active monitoring is accomplished through review of reports, correspondence from the grantee and quarterly phone/skype calls.Monitoring Expenditures: Grantee organizations are required to have financial systems in place to monitor their grant expenditures. These systems are verified during the betting process. GO Campaign monitors the use of funds within each reporting cycle and within the overall project period. The approved grant amount is based on the grantees proposal budget and submitted with their grant application. GO Campaign expects the rate and types of expenditures to be consistent with the approved projects budget and will follow up with the grantee regarding any discrepancies (expenditures that appear inconsistent with these expectations). Providing Technical Assistance: GO Campaign seeks to support grantees to successfully complete their GO Campaign grants as well as their larger organizational mission. Program staff share external resources with grantees, introduce them to other grantees who may be working in the same region or on the same issue area so they can collaborate. When possible, GO Campaign connects grantees with volunteers traveling in the area who can further assist them in their efforts. When necessary, program staff may conduct a site visit to assess the impact of a grant and provide additional support.Prior Approval Requests: Changes to project scope or allocation of funds must be approved by GO Campaign program staff. Requesting for changes must be made in writing (email is acceptable) prior to use of funds. Failure to obtain approval may result in the disallowance of costs, termination of the award of other enforcement action within GO Campaigns Authority.Reporting Requirements: GO Campaign requires grantees to submit reports which are due at specific times during the grant cycle (life cycle of a grant award). All reports must be accurate, complete and submitted on time. Once reporting requirements are complete, GO Campaign seeks to close out a grant in a timely manner.Updating Donors: Donors funding projects through donor directed funds within GO Campaign will receive a report updating them on the use of funds and impact to vulnerable children. Donors who donate to specific projects may receive project- specific updates via email. Donors at large may receive e-newsletter updates on any given project.
