Form And Line ReferenceGrantmaker's Description of How Grants are UsedFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationCHOICES, 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 Finance Director verifies funds have been transferred into the Mini-Grant Account. After verification of funding receipt, the client's case manager takes the client shopping for the approved items on the grant award. Receipts are provided to CHOICES' Finance Director to submit to the Mental Health Trust's contract agent, Information Insights. CHOICES is required to return any unused funds from each grant within 45 days of grant award unless an extension has been granted. CHOICES receives a $50 Administrative Fee for providing services to the client. CHOICES does not determine eligibility for grants nor does CHOICES 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 with the client or returns any unused funds within 45 days of the grant award excepting extensions. Grant award criteria and actual grant award are determined by the Mental Health Trust and their contract agent.ExplanationTxt
