Grant Agreements
After a proposal has been approved, grantees will receive a grant agreement via DocuSign. This document must be signed by the Executive Director, President, or CEO, and returned to the Foundation in order to receive grant any payments.
Grant Payments
The Foundation issues payments through ACH direct deposit. Upon grant approval, applicants will be invited to submit their signed grant agreement and banking information via DocuSign. The Foundation requires grantees to submit a copy of a voided check or a bank authorization letter to confirm their banking information.
Payment timing will be articulated in the grant agreement and is contingent upon all necessary documentation being received by the Foundation.
Reporting
Grantees are required to submit a final report at the end of their grant period, and annual interim reports for multi-year grants. Specific reporting requirements and deadlines will be detailed in the grant agreement.
