Form And Line ReferenceGrantmaker's Description of How Grants are UsedFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationBrunswick Family Assistance and the Columbus County Department of Aging are government agenices. Any "monitoring" of the use of the proceeds could be viewed as an inappropriate invasion of the ultimate recipients' privacy; therefore, Brunswick EMC does not investigate the use of these funds (the identity of the ultimate receipients) once the funds are given to the government agencies. Brunswick Community College events that are sponsored by Brunswick EMC are public events. Brunswick EMC examines the annual IRS Form 990 filed by The Southeastern Partnership to ensure that grants are used for the intended purposes.ExplanationTxt
