IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE ROCKFORD EDUCATION FOUNDATION (REF) AWARDS GRANT DOLLARS TO EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING WITHIN THE ROCKFORD COMMUNITY BASED ON A REIMBURSEMENT PROCESS. ALL GRANTS ARE AWARDED AFTER REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS AND ENSURING THE GRANT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE REF GRANT GUIDELINES. ONCE THE APPLICATION IS APPROVED BY THE REF BOARD OF TRUSTEES THE APPLICANTS ARE NOTIFIED INITIALLY VIA A GENERAL EMAIL FOLLOWED UP BY DETAILED APPROVAL IN A LETTER THAT IS SENT TO THEM THROUGH THE ROCKFORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS (RPS) INTERNAL MAIL OR U.S. POSTAL SERVICE IF A NON-RPS GRANT. RPS GRANTS ARE MONITORED VIA TWO DIFFERENT PROCESSES. UNIQUE TO RPS AWARDED GRANTS, ITEMS PURCHASED AS A RESULT OF AN AWARDED GRANT ARE PURCHASED BY RPS AND THEN RPS INVOICES REF TO REIMBURSE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. SECONDLY, SIMILAR TO GRANTS OUTSIDE OF THE RPS (PAROCHIAL OR COMMUNITY GROUP) THE GRANTEE PURCHASES ITEMS WITH THEIR PERSONAL FUNDS, PROVIDES REF WITH RECEIPTS AND/OR PROOF OF PAYMENT, THEN THE REF WILL REIMBURSE THE GRANT APPLICANT FOR THE PURCHASED ITEMS PERTAINING TO THE APPROVED GRANT.
