Form And Line Reference	Part I, Line 2:	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	MCF, as Distribution Trustee, is responsible for selecting grant recipients on behalf of the Foundation. To qualify for a grant distribution from the Foundation, the grantee must satisfy the Foundation and MCF's due diligence requirements. This process includes making an independent investigation of the prospective grantee to establish that it is currently classified as exempt under IRC Section 501(c)(3). The prospective grantee must also have the capacity to fulfil the terms of the grant and be willing to furnish MCF with evaluative reports. Three of the grantees: the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, Alcohol Justice, and The Buck Institute for Education, receive annual grants pursuant to court order. The Foundation closely monitors these grantees to ensure they are qualified to receive grants.	ExplanationTxt
