ReturnReference Explanation
PART I, LINE 2: BEFORE BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE GRANT FUNDING FROM AMERICAN FRIENDS, CANADIAN NON-PROFITS ARE CAREFULLY SCREENED THROUGH A RIGOROUS APPLICATION PROCESS AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF AMERICAN FRIENDS TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE A REGISTERED CANADIAN CHARITY AND MEET OTHER AMERICAN FRIEND REQUIREMENTS FOR ELIGIBLE LAND TRUST ORGANIZATIONS. IF APPROVED FOR GRANT ELIGIBILITY, AND BEFORE RECEIVING ANY GRANT FUNDING, THE CANADIAN LAND TRUST MUST SIGN A GRANT AGREEMENT REQUIRING, AMONG OTHER PROVISIONS, THAT THE GRANTS BE USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR LAND CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES, THAT THE RECIPIENT CANADIAN LAND TRUST AGREES TO SUBMIT TO AMERICAN FRIENDS A REPORT DESCRIBING THE USE OF THE FUNDS AND ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN AS A RESULT OF ANY GRANT, AND TO DO SO IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND THAT ANY PORTION OF A GRANT NOT USED FOR THE STATED PURPOSES MUST BE REPAID TO AMERICAN FRIENDS. ANNUALLY AMERICAN FRIENDS REVIEWS REPORTS RECEIVED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THIS REQUIREMENT. IF ANY CANADIAN LAND TRUST RECIPIENT OF GRANT FUNDING HAS NOT YET PROVIDED A REPORT, OR IF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS INCOMPLETE, AMERICAN FRIENDS FOLLOWS UP WITH THE GRANT RECIPIENT AND OBTAINS THE REQUIRED INFORMATION TO ENSURE THAT ALL GRANT FUNDING IS USED FOR ITS INTENDED CONSERVATION PURPOSE. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A CASE OF NONCOMPLIANCE BY A GRANT RECIPIENT.
