| IRS990ScheduleF/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | Renaissance Charitable Foundation Inc. (Foundation) applies a risk-based approach to its grant making decisions, which is executed per our written Grantmaking Due Diligence Policy. Our overall policy encompasses grants to charities inside the United States as well as to organizations outside the United States. This policy is designed to substantially reduce the danger of our grants being: made to an organization engaged in terrorist activities; used for non-charitable purposes; or made to an organization known by the Foundation to violate its agreements. The recipient of each of the Foundations grants must agree to fully expend the grant money exclusively for purposes that the Foundation deems are charitable purposes.The Foundations due diligence activity for grant recipients that are foreign organizations include conversations between the Foundations officers and the proposed grantees officers/directors. If both organizations agree to continue working together to consider the grant, the proposed grantee submits an executed affidavit to the Foundation along with supporting documentation that describes the following information about the proposed grantee: organization structure; charitable operations; leadership personnel and structure; financial situation; and procedures upon dissolution. The Foundations purpose in reviewing such affidavit and supporting documentation is to learn whether the Foundation (or its counsel) can make a good faith determination that the proposed grantee is an organization that could be described in 509(a)(1), (2), or (3) of the US Internal Revenue Code. If the Foundation determines the answer is yes, then the Foundation and the proposed grantee may enter into a formal, written grant agreement, which describes the timing and charitable purpose of the grant as well as the grantees post-grant obligations. Before making a grant to a foreign organization, the Foundation conducts a terrorist check on both the organization and its key leaders through a third-party service. The Foundations general policy for making grants to foreign organizations is to wire cash from one of the Foundations checking accounts to an account in the name of the grantee. |
