IRS990ScheduleF/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Each grantee is a local pastor who has been screened prior to receiving any funds. They have been referred by other known sources. We receive monthly reports from each person, indicating in detail how they have spent the money to benefit the target children. Magdy Bassaly, a member of the board and Secretary/CFO monitors these reports and conducts Skype calls with each, in addition to visiting countries a minimum of twice a year. No pastor receives more than $400 per month, and only when they have submitted their report with pictures for the previous month. A BFK board member conducts personal visits 2-3 times per year. Academies receive no more than $2,000 as startup funds.
