Grant applicants must be a qualified 501(c)(3) organization operating in sonoma valley. The organization has a formal grant application process: grant oversight committees, composed of member-volunteers, are formed to review each grant application, interview semi-finalists and select finalists. The finalists present their proposals to a membership meeting. Members votes determine final grant recipients, which are announced at a subsequent membership meeting. The grant oversight committees obtain signed contracts from the grant recipients prior to disbursing funds. The grant recipients report on their use of the grants at a mid-year membership meeting.”
