Return Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 2: THE RECORD KEEPING PROCEDURES TO SUBSTANTIATE THE AMOUNT OF GRANTS OR ASSISTANCE AND/OR GRANTEES' ELIGIBILITY: "DUE DILIGENCE" IS THE PROCESS OF REVIEW AND ASSESSMENT OF A POTENTIAL GRANT THAT IS THE BASIS FOR ACCEPTING OR DECLINING THE GRANT. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF DUE DILIGENCE IS TO ENSURE THAT GRANTS ARE MADE FOR PURPOSES THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH IRS REGULATIONS (I.E. CHARITABLE PURPOSES) AND DONOR INTENT AND THAT THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVING THE GRANT IS BOTH LEGITIMATE AND CAPABLE OF CARRYING OUT THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE GRANT IS INTENDED. ALL GRANTS MADE BY ADIRONDACK FOUNDATION SHALL BE FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES. GENERALLY, THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER AN ORGANIZATION'S ACTIVITIES ARE CHARITABLE IS MADE BY THE IRS IN ASSIGNING TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. ORGANIZATIONS WITH A 501(C)(3) ARE ENGAGED IN CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES. ADIRONDACK FOUNDATION MAY ALSO MAKE GRANTS TO UNINCORPORATED GROUPS OR INDIVIDUALS AND NON-501(C)(3) ORGANIZATIONS, FOLLOWING EXPENDITURE RESPONSIBILITY RULES, PROVIDING THE GRANT IS FOR A CHARITABLE PURPOSE. PROCEDURE: FOR NON-COMPETITIVE GRANTS: 1. ALL POTENTIAL GRANT RECIPIENT INFORMATION IS RESEARCHED ON GUIDESTAR TO DETERMINE 501(C)(3) STATUS AND SAVED IN THE DATABASE. IF THE 990 IS AVAILABLE ON GUIDESTAR, VERIFICATION OF SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION STATUS IS CONDUCTED INCLUDING WHAT TYPE OF SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION AND WHETHER THEY ONLY SUPPORT ONE ORGANIZATION. 2. IF THERE IS NOT A 990 ON FILE WITH GUIDESTAR AND GUIDESTAR INDICATES IT IS A 509(A)(2) OR (3) THE ORGANIZATION IS CONTACTED AND A COPY OF THE IRS DETERMINATION LETTER IS REQUESTED. 3. IF THE NONPROFIT IS NOT REGISTERED WITH GUIDESTAR, THE ORGANIZATION IS CONTACTED AND A COPY OF THE IRS DETERMINATION LETTER AND PROPER 501(C)(3) OR 501(C)(7) CODE UNDER IRC IS REQUESTED AND ADDED IN THE DATABASE. 4. FOR INTERNATIONAL GRANTMAKING AND GRANTS TO A NON-501(C)(3), ALL GRANTEES ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT STIPULATING THAT THEY WILL MAINTAIN PROGRAM AND FINANCIAL RECORDS ADEQUATE TO VERIFY EXPENDITURES AND ACTIVITY RELATED TO THE GRANT. THEY ARE ALSO PROVIDED WITH AN ANNUAL REPORT FORM THAT MUST BE COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED TO ADIRONDACK FOUNDATION. 5. ONCE GRANT RECIPIENT RECORD KEEPING IS COMPLETE IN THE DATABASE, THE STAFF APPROVE THE GRANTS AND SEND CHECK WITH A LETTER DETAILING ANY RESTRICTIONS. QUARTERLY, THE STAFF SUBMITS THE LIST OF GRANTS PROCESSED TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR RATIFICATION. FOR COMPETITIVE GRANTS: 1. ALL GRANT RECIPIENTS MUST BE SELECTED IN AN OBJECTIVE, NONDISCRIMINATORY FASHION FROM A BROAD GROUP OF CANDIDATES. 2. ALL GRANT APPLICATIONS ARE WIDELY PUBLICIZED AND DISTRIBUTED AND THE SUBMITTED APPLICATIONS ARE REVIEWED BY AN IMPARTIAL COMMITTEE MADE UP OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 3. ALL GRANT COMMITTEES ARE APPROVED ANNUALLY BY ADIRONDACK FOUNDATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND MUST SIGN THE FOUNDATION'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND CONFIDENTIALITY POLICY FORMS ANNUALLY. 4. QUALIFIED GRANT RECIPIENTS ARE SELECTED BASED ON THEIR SUCCESSFUL FULFILLMENT OF THE APPLICATION CRITERIA. 5. ONCE GRANT RECIPIENTS ARE SELECTED, WE FOLLOW NON-COMPETITIVE GRANTS PROCEDURES #1-5 LISTED ABOVE. 6. CERTAIN GRANT RECIPIENTS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE GRANT AGREEMENTS BASED ON THE TYPES OF GRANTS ISSUED. (INDIVIDUALS, NON-501(C)(3) ORGANIZATIONS, ETC.) 7. FOR FOLLOW-UP REPORTING PURPOSES, COMPETITIVE GRANTS PROGRAM GRANTEES ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE A SIX MONTH REPORT ON HOW THE FUNDS WERE UTILIZED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE SUCCESS OF THE FUNDED PROGRAM(S).
