PART I, LINE 2: WITH EACH GRANT REQUEST, THE LUZERNE FOUNDATION EXERCISES ITS DUE DILIGENCE TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH IRS STANDARDS. THE FOUNDATION REQUESTS AN IRS DETERMINATION LETTER REGARDING EXEMPT STATUS. EACH NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION'S 501(C)(3) STATUS AND EIN ARE VERIFIED THROUGH THE USE OF GUIDESTAR AND CHARITY CHECK, ONLINE RESOURCES SUITED FOR THAT PURPOSE. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH IS DONE VIA THE RECIPIENT ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE OR VIA DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OR CEO OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE GOAL IS TO OBTAIN INFORMATION RELATING TO MISSION AND PURPOSE SO THAT WE ASCERTAIN THAT EACH DONOR'S CHARITABLE INTENT IS BEING UPHELD. IN ADDITION, GRANT RECIPIENTS WHO RECEIVE GRANTS FROM THE UNRESTRICTED FUND ARE PROVIDED WITH A GRANT REPORTING FORM THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE RETURNED TO THE FOUNDATION WHEN THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED. THE RECIPIENTS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A NARRATIVE ON ACTIVITY RELATED TO THE GRANT. THE GRANTEES WHO RECEIVE GRANTS FROM DONOR ADVISED FUNDS ARE PROVIDED WITH A MORE TAILORED GRANT REPORTING FORM AND ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO PROVIDE NARRATIVES RELATING TO THE PROGRESS AND ACTIVITY RELATED TO THE GRANT. THE REPORTS ARE REVIEWED BY THE FOUNDATION. FOUNDATION STAFF FOLLOW UP IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS OR ISSUES IDENTIFIED DURING THE REVIEW PROCESS. SCHOLARSHIPS: TO DETERMINE SCHOLARSHIPS, MULTIPLE PROCESSES ARE USED. EITHER COMMITTEES ARE FORMED OR THE SCHOOL APPOINTS REPRESENTATIVES TO SELECT QUALIFIED STUDENTS USING A FAIR AND OBJECTIVE PROCESS.
