Prior to awarding funds, grant requests are reviewed internally to ensure alignment with the Organization's mission and to confirm the recipient's status as a qualified tax-exempt organization. Given the nature and size of these grants, the Organization does not conduct formal post-award monitoring procedures, but relies on its pre-award review and the tax-exempt status of the recipient organizations to ensure funds are used for appropriate purposes. The Organization may perform follow-up in limited circumstances if concerns arise. Grants to individuals consist solely of in-kind assistance provided through the annual Seattle/King County Clinic (the Clinic) in the form of eye exams and frames for prescription glasses. Eligibility is determined at the time of service through an intake and assessment process that evaluates financial need and includes examination by licensed medical professionals. Eye exams and glasses are only provided when prescribed during the Clinic. As assistance is provided directly in-kind and at the point of service, no post-distribution monitoring is performed.
