Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds APPLICANTS THAT RECEIVE AWARDS FROM THE BOARD ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN A GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT & AGREEMENT, WHICH STATES GUIDELINES AND CONDITIONS FOR A GRANT. GRANTEES MUST ALSO ATTEND A GRANTS MANAGEMENT TRAINING SESSION, UNLESS WAIVED BY THE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OR PRESIDENT OF THE FOUNDATION FOR GOOD CAUSE. GOOD CAUSE INCLUDES, FOR EXAMPLE, THE GRANTEE HAS PREVIOUSLY SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED A GRANT FROM THE FOUNDATION. THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT & AGREEMENT MAY CONTAIN CONDITIONS THAT MUST BE SATISFIED BEFORE FUNDS WILL BE RELEASED. THESE CONDITIONS, ALONG WITH REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERIM AND FINAL REPORTS, ARE ENTERED IN A DATABASE. ONCE THE FOUNDATION RECEIVES THE SIGNED GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT & AGREEMENT, EVIDENCE THAT PRECONDITIONS HAVE BEEN MET, AND A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR PAYMENT, THE APPLICANT IS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE AN INITIAL DISBURSEMENT. GRANTEES MAY RECEIVE ADVANCES IN INCREMENTS OF UP TO 20% OF THE GRANT AWARD OR REIMBURSEMENTS OF UP TO 80% OF THE GRANT AWARD OR A COMBINATION OF ADVANCES AND REIMBURSEMENTS WITHIN THOSE RESPECTIVE LIMITS. A SUM EQUAL TO 20% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE GRANT IS RETAINED BY THE FOUNDATION UNTIL COMPLETION OF THE GRANTEE'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE GRANT, INCLUDING THE SUBMISSION TO THE FOUNDATION OF A FINAL REPORT ON THE FUNDED PROJECT AND SATISFACTION OF ANY REMAINING CONDITIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS. THE PRESIDENT OF THE FOUNDATION HAS THE AUTHORITY TO MODIFY THIS RELEASE SCHEDULE. GRANTEES MAY USE FUNDS ONLY FOR ITEMS IDENTIFIED IN THE PROJECT'S APPROVED BUDGET. SHOULD THE GRANTEE SEEK TO SPEND FUNDS ON A ITEM NOT INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET OR IN AN AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE APPROVED BUDGET AMOUNT, THE GRANTEE MUST RECEIVE APPROVAL OF A BUDGET MODIFICATION. IN NO EVENT MAY A GRANTEE SPEND GOLDEN LEAF FUNDS IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT AWARDED BY THE GOLDEN LEAF BOARD. GRANTEES MUST SUBMIT INTERIM REPORTS IN SIX MONTH INCREMENTS BEGINNING SIX MONTHS AFTER THE AWARD DATE AND A FINAL REPORT WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT, THOUGH THIS SCHEDULE MAY BE ADJUSTED IF APPROPRIATE FOR A PROJECT. IN SOME CASES, GRANTEES ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO SUBMIT REPORTS AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE PROJECT TO DOCUMENT ONGOING ACTIVITIES AND OUTCOMES. THE REPORTS INCLUDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED COMPARED TO AN APPROVED LIST OF ACTIVITIES, REPORTED OUTCOMES OF THE PROJECT COMPARED TO APPROVED PROJECTED OUTCOMES, AND EXPENDITURE REPORTS. USING A SAMPLING PROCESS, THE FOUNDATION VERIFIES REPORTED ACTIVITIES, OUTCOMES, AND EXPENDITURES BY REVIEWING SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION. FOUNDATION STAFF ALSO CONDUCTS SITE VISITS FOR SOME OF THE PROJECTS. THE GRANT MONITORING PROCESS IS RISK ADJUSTED, WITH SOME GRANTEES, SUCH AS THOSE WITH LESS GRANTS MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE AND CAPACITY, RECEIVING MORE INTENSIVE MONITORING.
