Grants for the Jewish Elderly Post Award Procedures

These Procedures are necessary in order to allow the Foundation to track the progress of the grant recipients and provide the required fiscal and programmatic oversight.
The Grants Committee wants each grantee organization to succeed and we want to partner with each organization to help insure that happens.
All grantees are welcome to seek advice and/or provide feedback to the Grants Committee at anytime.
If any problems arise and/or a Grantee organization encounters trouble meeting its goals they should notify the Grants Committee immediately.

The Grants Committee will provide oversight for the duration of all grant projects which may include a visit to the grantee organization and/or the appointing of liaisons from the Grants Committee to the grantee organization.
Any changes to the Project Team (from that which was provided in the organization’s grant application) must be reported to Lisa Stanger.
Semi-Annual Progress Reports and a Final Report(note, depending on timing, a Final Report may be combined with a semi-annual progress report) must be submitted to the Grants Committee. The Semi-Annual Progress Reports are due beginning 3 (three) months from the date of the award, and again, six months thereafter (unless a final report has been submitted). Once a Final Report is submitted, reports are no longer required. The Final Report is due 60 days following the completion of the grant.
An awardee must inform its membership and the community of its receipt of funding from the Community Grant Program.
All public relations material relating to the funded project must include reference to the Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven.
In the case of equipment or capital improvements, there should be prominent and permanent notation or plaque that the purchase/project was made possible by a grant from the Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven.

No distribution of funds will be made until all requested paperwork is submitted. Grant funds may only be used as described in the budget. Re-allocation of funds must be approved by the Grants Committee.
The Financial Director listed on the funded grant must sign off on all Progress Reports and the Final Report.
The Grants Committee will work with the grantee to determine the best way to provide documentation and payments.

These guidelines are provided to help you articulate and evaluate your grant activities. The report allows us to track the progress of our grantee organizations and to provide the required fiscal and programmatic oversight. Re-allocation of funds must be approved by the Grants Committee.
Reports should be prepared by the Project Director as specified on your grant application and signed off by your specified Financial Director
DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS IS DEPENDENT ON COMPLETE REPORTING AND TIMELY SUBMISSION OF PROGRESS REPORTS.
Semi-Annual Progress Reports and a Final Report (note, depending on timing, a Final Report may be combined with a semi-annual progress report) must be submitted to the Grants Committee. The Semi-Annual Progress Reports are due beginning 3 (three) months from the date of the award, and again, six months thereafter (unless a final report has been submitted). Once a Final Report is submitted, reports are no longer required. The Final Report is due 60 days following the completion of the grant.
Note, if any of these days fall on a Federal or Jewish holiday or weekend, the report is due on the following business day that is not a holiday.
If a section or question is not applicable to your grant, write “not applicable”. Please number the pages of your report.
Please add any additional information that may be helpful to our understanding of your progress.
