IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt01. The REC Foundation has adopted a multifaceted approach to maintain records and substantiate grants/assistance. They have adopted a Standard Operating Procedure to collect and reconcile these grant awards. The procedural documents that govern this are titled "SOP: Tracking Team Grants," "SOP 930: Grant Opportunities & Procedure," "Apply REC Foundation Team Grant," 2016-2017 Grants Process Summary, and "2016-2017 Grants Available Chart." In summary, these documents outline the procedure to verify the "requirements" provided by sponsors/donors of the REC Foundation, the procedure by which applications will be approved for funding, the process by which materials/support will be distributed, verification of receipt, and reconciliation of materials/support given. Additionally, digital records are stored in form of shared Google Drive tracking documents, each product "sku" distributed (tracked by coupon code), and through tracking resources available at RobotEvents.com. 2. Following our adopted operating procedures, applicants complete an "application" consisting of 19 questions. These 19 questions range from asking if an applicant is a school designated as "Title 1" by the United States Department of Education to a description of organizational need. These 19 questions allow our staff evaluators to determine the eligibility of applicants to receive materials per operating procedures, sponsor/donor guidelines, and applicable legal guidelines.
