| Explanation | THE CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS TO WHICH WE GIVE GRANTS ARE CHOSEN EACH YEAR BY OUR WORTHY GRAND MATRON VIA REQUESTS THAT SHE MAKES AT OUR ANNUAL MEETING TO OUR DELEGATES. THE DELEGATES THEN VOTE TO ALLOW THESE CHARITIES FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR. THIS CHANGES ANNUALLY WITH EACH ELECTION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OUR OUTREACH PROJECT WHICH IS MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. WE ARE ALSO ASKED BY OUR GENERAL GRAND CHAPTER TO CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR PROJECTS WHICH CHANGE EVERY 3 YEARS. ONLY RECOGNIZED NON-PROFITS ARE CHOSEN; HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT INSIST ON POST-CONTRIBUTION MONITORING GIVEN THAT THE STATUS OF RECEIVING ORGANIZATIONS HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN ESTABLISHED. NO FURTHER MONITORING IS CONSIDERED NECESSARY. THE GRAND CHAPTER FRATERNAL FUND IS ADMINISTERED BY A COMMITTEE OF THREE MEMBERS, ONE FROM EACH OF THE THREE GEOGRAPHICAL SUB-DIVISIONS OF THE STATE, ONE OF WHOM IS ELECTED FOR A THREE YEAR TERM. A ONE-YEAR MEMBER SHALL BE CHAIRMAN. IF THE CHAPTER FRATERNAL COMMITTEE DESIRES TO RECEIVE FRATERNAL AID FOR A MEMBER, THEY SHALL SEND A LETTER TO A MEMBER OF THE GRAND CHAPTER FRATERNAL COMMITTEE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. THIS LETTER MUST BEAR ALL (3) SIGNATURES OF THE CHAPTER FRATERNAL COMMITTEE. THE MEMBER'S NAME AND CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL NOT BE REVEALED WHEN THE CHAPTER TAKES SUCH ACTION. AFTER APPROVAL BY THE CHAPTER, THE CHAPTER SECRETARY, UNDER THE SEAL OF THE CHAPTER, WILL THEN REQUEST AN APPLICATION FROM THE GRAND CHAPTER FRATERNAL COMMITTEE.
