This organization determines eligibility for grants based on funding needs of the applicant. Financial information is obtained from applicants to determine need. Because of the size of the community, it is easy to observe the application of the funds to specific projects, maintenance of a facility, or improvements made to a facility. Board members make visits to facilities and/or communicate with recipients' boards to determine that application of the funding is appropriate.
