Form And Line ReferencePart I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside USFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationTo monitor grants, we require two reports including photos/video and receipt. One report with photos is due within 6 months of receiving the first grant installment payment. The second installment is released after the report is approved. The final report is due within 12 months of the grant being awarded and includes copies of receipts showing how funds were spent (and showing they were used for direct expenses only), and photos/videos of the project. Further, some projects receive an in-person site visit from a TPP volunteer or representative, a phone call or check in conversation from a staff person or representative, and we monitor the project on social media as well.ExplanationTxt
