Return ReferenceDescription of Organization's Procedures for Monitoring the Use of GrantsReturnReference
ExplanationMAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF THE TEXAS GULF COAST AND LOUISIANA, INC. DOES NOT PROVIDE CASH GRANTS TO INDIVIDUALS, BUT RATHER GRANTS WISHES TO SELECT BENEFICIARIES THAT MEET THE SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR THE WISH-GRANTING PROGRAM. THE ORGANIZATION GENERALLY ALLOCATES FUNDS DIRECTLY TO THE VENDORS FOR THE WISH EXPENSES, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TRAVEL STIPENDS (I.E. MEALS, TIPS, GAS, ETC.) FROM A STANDARDIZED WISH BUDGET. ALL WISH EXPENSES ARE DEVELOPED BY THE VICE PRESIDENT OF PROGRAM SERVICES AND ARE APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT & CEO. THE SUPPORTING WISH EXPENSE DOCUMENTATION IS RETAINED BY THE ORGANIZATION. OF THE TOTAL 439 WISHES GRANTED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, TRAVEL STIPENDS OF $550,799 WERE PROVIDED DIRECTLY TO APPROXIMATELY 320 WISH BENEFICIARIES. THE ADDITIONAL CASH GRANTS OF $2,259,232 WERE PAID DIRECTLY TO VENDORS BY THE CHAPTER FOR THE BENEFICIARIES' WISHES. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2011, THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF THE TEXAS GULF COAST AND LOUISIANA CHAPTER WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE WISH FULFILLMENT FUND OF THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF AMERICA. THESE FUNDS ARE USED TO HELP GRANT WISHES IN CHAPTERS WITH LIMITED FUNDS. $200,000 WAS PROVIDED TO THREE OTHER MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION CHAPTERS. THE INTENDED USE OF THE FUNDS IS NOT DIRECTLY MONITORED AS THE RECIPIENT CHAPTERS ARE INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATIONS WITH THE SAME MISSION OF GRANTING WISHES TO CHILDREN WITH LIFE-THREATENING MEDICAL CONDITIONS.Explanation
