IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0GRANTS TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ARE REQUESTED AND MONITORED BY PROGRAM STAFF.

A REQUEST IS SENT TO THE WSAF FINANCE DEPARTMENT WITH THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: 1) AN OUTLINE OF THE PROPER USE OR RESTRICTIONS FOR THE USE OF THE FUNDS BY THE RECEIVING ORGANIZATION; 2) A LIST OF THE RECEIVING ORGANIZATIONS BOARD MEMBERSHIP; 3) ANY KNOWN OVERLAPPING BOARD OR EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIPS; 4) A STATEMENT FROM A STAFF MEMBER STATING THAT THERE EXISTS NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST BETWEEN THE ACTION FUND AND THE RECEIVING ORGANIZATION, BETWEEN THE EMPLOYEE OR THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AND THE RECEIVING ORGANIZATION, OR ANY BOARD MEMBER; 5) A COPY OF THE RECEIVING ORGANIZATION'S ANNUAL BUDGET. REVIEWS ARE DONE BY FINANCE STAFF TO ENSURE THAT GRANTS ARE MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACTION FUND'S MISSION AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. ONCE THE FUNDING IS APPROVED AND ISSUED, PROGRAM STAFF MONITOR THAT THE RECEIVING ORGANIZATION HAS USED THE FUNDS AS AGREED. ON ACCEPTANCE OF PROPOSAL, THE RECEIVING ORGANIZATION MUST SIGN A LETTER OF AGREEMENT, WHICH OUTLINES THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE GRANT, RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON THE USE OF THE FUNDS, INCLUDING LOBBYING RESTRICTIONS, DUE DATES FOR INTERIM AND FINAL NARRATIVES, FINANICAL REPORTS, AND TANGIBLE SUCCESSES ACHIEVED WITH THE FUNDING, INCLUDING ANY UNEXPECTED CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED DURNG THE GRANT PERIOD. THE NARRATIVE AND ACCOUNTING ARE REVIEWED BY TWS PROGRAM STAFF TO ENSURE PROPER USE AND ACCOMPLISHMENT OF GOALS. WHERE APPROPRIATE, A MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION FOR EXPENDITURE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS MAY BE REQUESTED.
