CRITERIA FOR SELECTING PROJECTS FOR FUNDING

THE CRITERIA FOR SELECTING PROJECTS FOR FUNDING THROUGH THE COLSTON E. WARNE SMALL GRANTS PROGRAM INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: - THE PROJECTS SHOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH CR'S MISSION TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND ADVICE TO CONSUMERS ON GOODS, SERVICES, HEALTH AND PERSONAL FINANCE; AND TO INITIATE AND COOPERATE WITH INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN AND ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CONSUMERS. - THE PROJECTS SHOULD BE HIGH IMPACT PROJECTS THAT PROVIDE A SIGNIFICANT RETURN FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY INVESTED. THEY SHOULD BE RESULT-ORIENTED, AND HAVE TANGIBLE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. - THE ORGANIZATION SPONSORING THE PROJECT SHOULD HAVE A CLEAR PLAN FOR DEVELOPING ALTERNATE SOURCES OF FUNDING, SO THAT THE PROJECT CAN BECOME SELF-SUPPORTING AND CONTINUE WHEN THE GRANT PERIOD ENDS. - IF POSSIBLE, THE PROJECTS SHOULD BE REPLICABLE, AND PROVIDE A MODEL FOR ORGANIZING AND ADVOCACY ON OTHER CONSUMER AND PUBLIC INTEREST ISSUES, OR IN OTHER LOCATIONS. - WE ARE ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN PROJECTS THAT PROVIDE DIRECT BENEFITS TO LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY CONSUMERS. - WHERE POSSIBLE, PROJECTS SHOULD OBTAIN MATCHING FUNDS AND /OR LEVERAGE IN-KIND RESOURCES FROM OTHER SOURCES. - THE PROJECTS SHOULD MAKE SENSE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF THE OVERALL CONSUMER MOVEMENT. THEY SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TO CAPACITY-BUILDING OF ORGANIZATIONS, AND HELP SUSTAIN THE CONSUMER MOVEMENT. - CR'S PURPOSES MUST BE MEASURED IN TERMS OF THE BENEFITS INDIRECTLY REALIZED BY THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS WHO ARE BETTER INFORMED OR BETTER SERVED AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE WORK WHICH THE MONEY SUPPORTS. "(CONSUMER REPORTS, MARCH, 1958, P. 163)" - BECAUSE OUR FUNDS ARE LIMITED, OUR OPERATING STRATEGY IS TO IDENTIFY PROSPECTIVE GRANTEES AND INVITE THEM TO APPLY. MOST GRANTS ARE AWARDED TO PRE-SELECTED ORGANIZATIONS.

MONITORING GRANT FUNDS

Grantees are required to submit program and financial reports at the conclusion of the project, including a list of grant-related expenditures, and a summary of deliverables and project results. The timing of the reports is determined according to a schedule contained in an executed agreement between CR and the grantee.
