Form And Line ReferencePART I, LINE 2:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationVITALOGY FOUNDATION SELECTS GRANTEES THROUGH AN INTERNAL PROCESS WITH THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS. EACH POTENTIAL GRANTEE'S REQUEST IS REVIEWED BY EACH BOARD MEMBER TO ENSURE IT MEETS THE VITALOGY FOUNDATION'S MISSION GUIDELINES AND THE CHARITY WILL USE THE GRANT EXCLUSIVELY TO CARRY OUT THE "AS DETAILED" CHARITABLE PROJECT, OR FOR GENERAL OPERATIONS, EXCLUSIVELY FOR EXEMPT PURPOSES. ONCE THE GRANTEE HAS BEEN APPROVED, VITALOGY FOUNDATION PROVIDES THE CHARITY WITH A GRANTEE FORM THAT REQUESTS DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE ORGANIZATION INCLUDING ITS TAX ID NUMBER, IRS TAX DETERMINATION LETTER, AS WELL AS THE FUNDS REQUESTED AND HOW THEY WILL BE USED, A DISCLAIMER THAT NO GOODS OR SERVICES WERE EXCHANGED FOR THE GRANT, AND A REQUEST FOR UPDATES AND REPORTS. AFTER THE GRANTEE FORM IS IN HAND, THE CHARITY IS SENT THE FUNDS ALONG WITH THE FOUNDATION'S DONATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT LETTER WHICH REQUESTS A SIGNATORY BACK CONFIRMING RECEIPT OF THE FUNDS. VITALOGY FOUNDATION FOLLOWS-UP WITH THE GRANTEES TO ENSURE THEY ARE ADHERING TO OUR GUIDELINES THROUGH REGULAR PHONE CALLS AS WELL AS REQUESTING WRITTEN UPDATES EVERY SIX MONTHS. THE VITALOGY FOUNDATION TEAM ALSO MAKES SITE VISITS TO SELECT LARGER SCALE GRANTEES TO GET FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OF HOW THE FUNDS ARE BEING APPLIED/DISPERSED IN THE FIELD. FROM THESE REPORTS AND CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE GRANTEE, THE VITALOGY FOUNDATION TEAM PROVIDES UPDATES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TWO WAYS; THROUGH WEEKLY PROJECT UPDATES AND THROUGH A MORE DETAILED ANNUAL PROJECT UPDATE AS WARRANTED BASED UPON THE SIZE OF THE GRANT. TO TRACK THESE PROJECTS, THE GRANTEES' WRITTEN REPORTS, TEAM CORRESPONDENCE, AND BOARD UPDATES ARE FILED ALONG WITH THE CORRESPONDING GRANTEE FORM AND IRS LETTER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. INTERNALLY, VITALOGY FOUNDATION KEEPS A RUNNING CONTRIBUTION SUMMARY OF ALL GRANTS MADE TO DATE BY YEAR THAT INCLUDES TRACKING ON UPDATES RECEIVED BY GRANTEES.ExplanationTxt
