Explanation

PART I, LINE 2:

THE PROCEDURE FOR AWARDING MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE GRANTS IS AS FOLLOWS: THE PROCEDURE FOR AWARDING GRANTS IS AS FOLLOWS: -GRANT REQUESTS ARE INITIALLY SCREENED BASED ON THEIR FIT WITH THE FORBES FUNDS (1) SERVICE AREA, ALLEGHENY COUNTY, (2) AGENCY FOCUS, HUMAN SERVICES AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (3) SCOPE OF FUNDING REQUEST, CAPACITY BUILDING AND (4) COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS. -ONCE IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE REQUEST MEETS THOSE FOUR CRITERIA, AGENCIES WILL BE ASKED TO SUBMIT A LETTER OF INQUIRY (LOI). ONCE THE LOI IS APPROVED, AGENCIES MAY SUBMIT A GRANT APPLICATION. -ANY REQUESTS OF $10,000 OR MORE WILL BE TAKEN TO THE COMMUNITY RESEARCH ADVISOR BOARD (CRAB) AT ONE OF ITS QUARTERLY MEETINGS FOR REVIEW. THE CRAB PROVIDES FEEDBACK ON THE GRANT PROPOSALS TO ASSESS WHETHER THE PROPOSAL MEETS THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: (1) STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS, (2) COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, (3) SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, AND (4) COLLECTIVE IMPACT. IF THE REQUEST MOVES FORWARD, IT IS PRESENTED TO THE FULL BOARD FOR FINAL APPROVAL. -ANY REQUEST BETWEEN $5,000 AND $9,999 MAY BE AWARDED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE FORBES FUNDS AND CHAIR OF THE BOARD. ANY REQUEST BELOW $5,000 MAY BE AWARDED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE FORBES FUNDS. -IF A GRANT IS AWARDED, IT IS APPROVED AND THE AGENCY IS SENT A GRANT AGREEMENT WHICH MUST BE SIGNED BY THE AGENCY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND RETURNED TO THE FORBES FUNDS. A KICK-OFF MEETING IS HELD BETWEEN THE AGENCY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BOARD CHAIR, CONSULTANT, AND THE FORBES FUNDS. THE PROCEDURES FOR PAYMENTS OF GRANTS IS AS FOLLOWS: -PAYMENTS ARE MADE ON A REIMBURSABLE BASIS. GRANTEES ARE TO SUBMIT AN INVOICE TO THE FORBES FUNDS WITH A COPY OF THE INVOICE THEY RECEIVED FROM THE PROJECT CONSULTANT AND PROOF OF PAYMENT TO THE CONSULTANT. -UPON RECEIPT OF THE INVOICE, THE FORBES FUNDS REVIEWS THE DOCUMENTATION, CONFIRMS THE REMAINING GRANT BALANCE, AND APPROVES OR DENYIES PAYMENT. IF APPROVED, A PAYMENT LETTER IS GENERATED AND A CHECK IS CUT AND SENT TO THE GRANTEE. -FINAL PAYMENTS ARE NOT MADE UNTIL GRANTEES COMPLETE A FINAL REPORT SURVEY, SUBMIT A FINAL COPY OF THE PROJECT DELIVERABLE, AND ATTEND A CLOSING MEETING WITH THE CONSULTANT AND THE FORBES FUNDS. -AN IMPACT ASSESSMENT SURVEY IS REQUIRED TO BE COMPLETED BY ALL GRANT RECIPIENTS ONE YEAR AFTER THE GRANT PROJECT HAS ENDED. THE FORBES FUNDS ALSO AWARDS ALTERNATIVE GRANTS. THE GOAL OF THIS ALTERNATIVE GRANTMAKING PROCESS IS TO PROVIDE A MORE FLEXIBLE FUNDING MECHANISM FOR SMALL GRANTS (UNDER $10K). THIS ALLOWS FOR FASTER IMPLEMENTATION WHILE ENABLING THE FORBES FUNDS TO DO APPROPRIATE DUE DILIGENCE ON POTENTIAL PARTNERS. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS PROCESS, AN ALTERNATIVE GRANT" IS DEFINED AS ONE THAT DOES NOT FALL UNDER TRADITIONAL MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE GRANT (MAGS) REGULATIONS. ALTERNATIVE GRANTS SHOULD BE LESS THAN $10,000 AND SHOULD HAVE AN IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE OF LESS THAN 12 MONTHS. THE GRANT ADMINISTRATOR WILL REVIEW THE NOTICE OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY (NOFA) RESPONSES ON A ROLLING BASIS TO ENSURE THEY MEET THE ALIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE GRANTS PROCESS. IF THE NOFA RESPONSE DOES ALIGN, THE GRANT ADMINISTRATOR WILL EMAIL EACH APPLICANT ORGANIZATION TO NOTIFY THEM THEY HAVE BEEN APPROVED TO MOVE TO THE NEXT PHASE OF SUBMITTING A FORMAL APPLICATION FOR FUNDING. AT A MINIMUM, ALTERNATIVE GRANT RECIPIENTS WOULD BE ASKED TO PROVIDE A ONE-PAGE SUMMARY OF THE ACTIVITIES THEY UNDERTOOK WITH FUNDING, ALONG WITH OUTCOME AND IMPACT. THE SPECIFIC METRICS FOR REPORTING MAY BE ESTABLISHED ON A GRANT-BY-GRANT BASIS AND/OR BASED ON METRICS.

	CAPACITY BUILDING PROVIDING NONPROFITS WITH RESOURCES, THROUGH GRANTMAKING AND COHORTS, AND LEARNING FORUMS TO ENABLE THEM TO MANAGE A DISRUPTIVE EVENT, REFRAME THEIR THINKING ABOUT A SPECIFIC ISSUE THAT IMPACTS OPERATIONS, AND PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE. PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO HUMAN SERVICES AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY.YEARLY, THE FUND HAS INTERACTS WITH OR CONVENES APPROXIMATELY 2,500 THOUGHT LEADERS WITHIN THE NONPROFIT SECTOR THROUGH THE GREATER PITTSBURGH NONPROFIT PARTNERSHIP (GPNP), EXECUTIVE-IN-RESIDENCE (EIR), MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE GRANTS (MAGS), CATALYTIC COMMUNITY COHORTS (C3), PERFORMANCE IMPERATIVE AND LARGE AND SMALL AGENCY COHORTS. THIS NUMBER REPRESENTS NEARLY HALF THE NUMBER OF CURRENT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY AND OVER 25% OF THE TEN-COUNTY REGIONAL'S NONPROFIT SECTOR.

4b	(Code: ) (Expenses $ 390,260 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 8,456 )
	THE FUND SITS AT THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN FUNDERS AND THE NONPROFIT COMMUNITY. THE FUND'S WORK HAS EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS TO BUILD A MORE SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATIONAL MODEL ANCHORED IN A NEARLY 40-YEAR HISTORY OF ADVANCING THE WELL-BEING OF OUR REGION. THE MISSION OF THE FUND FOCUSES ON BUILDING THE MANAGEMENT CAPACITY AND IMPACT OF HUMAN SERVICES AND COMMUNITY-BASED NONPROFITS BOTH AS INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS AND AS A UNIFIED COALITION OF LEADERS, FUNDERS AND ADVOCATES WORKING COLLABORATIVELY THROUGHOUT SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA.SINCE 2018, THE FUND HAS ALIGNED ITS TRADITIONAL PROGRAMMING TO INCREASE ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS AND TO IDENTIFY WHERE GAPS AND OVERLAPS OF SERVICES AND INVESTMENTS EXIST. ADDITIONALLY, IN 2020, TFF'S BOARD APPROVED A RACIAL JUSTICE EQUITY FRAMEWORK THAT INFORMS OUR PROGRAMMING TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE. THIS FRAMEWORK INCLUDES INVESTING IN DIVERSE LEADERSHIP, INCREASING THE CAPACITY OF MINORITY-LED ORGANIZATIONS, DEVELOPING SCENARIO PLANNING AND INCREASING COLLABORATIVE CAPACITY OF REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS. THIS HAS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERNATIONAL ANTI-RACISM INSTITUTIONAL COHORT (ARC) THAT IS BEING LAUNCHED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE HEINZ ENDOWMENTS, THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH, AND THE DEPARTMENT OF THE FUTURE IN SOUSSE, TUNISIA. BY CO-DESIGNING SOLUTIONS, OUR GRANTMAKING HAS INCREASED OVER 400% AND FOR EVERY $1 INVESTED IN TFF, THE RESULT IS A RETURN ON INVESTMENT OF MORE THAN $7 OR APPROXIMATELY $28 MILLION WORTH OF CAPACITY BUILDING RESOURCES IN THE TEN-COUNTY, SW PENNSYLVANIA REGION.SINCE THE ONSET OF COVID-19, TFF HAS HELD MORE THAN 4,198 VIRTUAL MEETINGS WITH MORE THAN 35,887 PARTICIPANTS ACROSS THE REGION AND ACROSS THE STATE, NATION, AND GLOBE.FINALLY, AS A RESULT OF COVID-19, TFF HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE REGIONAL NONPROFIT SECTOR TO NOT ONLY HELP ORGANIZATIONS SURVIVE THE PANDEMIC BUT TO PREPARE FOR THE CHANGES THAT WILL LIKELY OCCUR INCLUDING CHANGES TO FUNDING CYCLES, PHILANTHROPIC PRIORITIES, AND AN INCREASE EMPHASIS ON COLLABORATION. THIS HAS LED TO THE LAUNCH OF VARIOUS LEARNING COHORTS WITH NONPROFITS ON TOPICS LIKE HUMAN RESOURCES, EQUITABLE ENTREPRENEURISM, FUNDRAISING AND ADVOCACY, AND SCENARIO PLANNING. TFF ALSO WORKED WITH A GROUP OF SKILLED PRACTITIONERS, EDUCATORS, DOCTORS, SCIENTISTS, AND PHILANTHROPISTS TO ADDRESS THE IMPACT ON THE PANDEMIC ON RESILIENT BLACK, BROWN, AND LGBQTIA+ COMMUNITIES AROUND THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA. THIS WORK WAS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE PA SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND IS FOCUSED ON ADDRESSING CURRENT HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE INEQUITIES, EQUIPPING FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS WITH RESOURCES LIKE CONTACT TRACERS, AND SUPPORTING WORKFORCE AND SOCIAL SECTOR INVESTMENTS FOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS WHO ARE MORE LIKELY TO CONTRACT THE DISEASE.THE FUND NOW ALIGNS ALL SERVICES WITH THE SOCIAL DETERMINATES OF HEALTH AND UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (UNSDGS) TO SHOW THE IMPACT OF THE REGION. THIS APPROACH TO SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT REQUIRES LEVERAGING PARTNERSHIP AND TOOLS AND ESTABLISHING SHARED GOALS. THE GOAL IS TO NOT ONLY IMPROVE ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY OF NONPROFITS BUT TO ENSURE THAT THE POPULATIONS SERVED BY ORGANIZATIONS WE SUPPORT BENEFIT AS WELL. THE PREMISE IS THAT INDIVIDUALS SERVED BY THE ORGANIZATIONS WE SUPPORT ARE OFTEN TIMES DEALING WITH MORE THAN ONE ISSUE AND A HOLISTIC APPROACH IS NECESSARY THAT INVOLVES MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS.TFF'S WORK IS CENTERED AROUND MORE THAN TRANSACTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS AND APPROACHES; THE AIM IS TO FOSTER TRANSFORMATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS AND TO OPTIMIZE HOW THE NONPROFIT ECOSYSTEM INTERACTS WITH FUNDERS, GOVERNMENT, PRIVATE SECTOR AND OTHERS IN THE PITTSBURGH REGION. THE FORBES FUNDS IS EXPLORING CO-DESIGNED APPROACHES THAT ARE ITERATIVE AND AGILE, ESPECIALLY AS OUR SECTOR ADDRESSES THE REALITIES OF SCENARIO PLANNING - ECONOMIC STRESSES AND SHOCKS TO THE REGION THAT WILL PUT UNTOLD STRAIN ON SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA.
