3102024 0 Developing Children 103 0 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used United Way of Greater Houston (United Way) and the organizations in which it invests are committed to improving lives, tackling human service needs and making a lasting difference in the community. Organizations in which the United Way invests must meet standards and adhere to the policies established by the United Way. The written standards and policies require agencies to submit financial, governance and program information for regular review by United Way Community Investment volunteers and staff.Organizational Review - The purpose of this process is to ensure that United Way agencies and grantees are administratively and financially secure and in compliance with United Way's Standards and Policies. Volunteers and staff members analyze agency information, follow up with agencies experiencing financial or governance challenges and determine whether the agency passes review. Volunteers may make recommendations for improvement; serious concerns are shared with the Community Investment and/or Community Impact Committees. The organizational review team also assists agencies with understanding each requirement and provides training when necessary. The organizational review requirements from United Way funded agencies include:Administrative/Governance Review Checklist: Grant candidates provide audited financial statements, auditor's management letter and board response, including action plans, board acceptance of audit and management letter, IRS Form 990 and Form 8868 if an extension was requested, monthly interim internal financial statements and a United Way operating reserve calculation and explanation form as required by United Way Standards and Policies Financial Review Requirements.An agency's independent audit report is to be submitted within six months after the agency fiscal year-end. Program Review: All programs are categorized within the United Way's four goal areas. Similar programs are grouped together for volunteer review under the leadership of the United Way Community Investment Committee. Programs are assessed through an evaluation process culminating in investment recommendations prepared by the United Way Community Investment Committee, endorsed by the United Way Community Impact Committee and approved by the United Way Board. On a regular basis, agencies are required to submit a request for program funding that includes agency and program data. Volunteers thoroughly study the information submitted by an agency then visit the agency to see the agency in operation. Following the site visits, the volunteers meet and develop program investment recommendations which are submitted to the Community Investment and Community Impact Committees and then to the United Way Board of Trustees for review and approval. Report Deadlines: Agency and program update reports are submitted March 15 each year. Beneficiary, outcomes and financial data are required components of the report.Monitoring Procedure: Programs are monitored on an ongoing basis by United Way staff and volunteers.Special Reports: Occasionally an agency may be required to provide reports for annual fundraising and community assessment activities or on particular matters of concern to United Way, such as meeting service objectives.Noncompliance Policy: The United Way has a written process for noncompliance which has established progressive penalties which include detailed written warnings, suspension and cessation. There is also an established appeal process for the agencies to follow.
