ReturnReference Explanation
PART I, LINE 2: IN 2017, CLIMATEWORKS FUNDING SUPPORTED REGIONAL PARTNERS AND OTHER GRANTEES WELL KNOWN TO CLIMATEWORKS FROM GRANTS AWARDED IN YEARS PAST. THESE ORGANIZATIONS HAD UNDERGONE AN EXTENSIVE VETTING PROCESS PRIOR TO BECOMING RECURRING GRANTEES. CLIMATEWORKS PROGRAM STAFF PERFORM DUE DILIGENCE ON PROSPECTIVE GRANTS AND EVALUATE THE PAST SUCCESS AND HEALTH OF THE PROSPECTIVE GRANTEE. ALL ORGANIZATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A GRANT NARRATIVE PROPOSAL AND BUDGET. PROPOSALS ARE EVALUATED ON THEIR PROJETED OUTCOMES AND ALIGNMENT WITH CLIMATEWORKS' MISSION AND STRATEGIES. OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION INCLUDES: THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET; YEAR-TO-DATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; PRIOR YEAR AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; GOVERNMENT-ISSUED TAX STATUS DETERMINATION DOCUMENTATION; A LIST OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND AFFILIATIONS; AND BIOGRAPHIES OF KEY STAFF INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT. ALL GRANTEES ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN AND RETURN A GRANT AGREEMENT, WHICH STATES THAT FUNDS MAY BE SPENT ONLY FOR THE SPECIFIC CHARITABLE PURPOSES STATED IN THE PROPOSAL. ALL GRANTEES MUST BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE ANTI-TERRORIST FINANCING AND ASSET CONTROL LAWS, REGULATIONS, RULES, AND EXECUTIVE ORDERS. ALTHOUGH NOT LEGALLY REQUIRED, CLIMATEWORKS USES EXPENDITURE RESPONSIBILITY BEST PRACTICES TO MONITOR ITS FOREIGN GRANTS. CLIMATEWORKS CONFIRMS THAT GRANTEES' BOARD MEMBERS AND KEY STAFF DO NOT APPEAR ON THE SPECIALLY DESIGNATED NATIONALS (SDN) LIST. DEPENDING ON THE DOLALR AMOUNT, EITHER THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE PRESIDENT & CEO, OR A VICE PRESIDENT APPROVES THE GRANT. CLIMATEWORKS REVIEWS EXPENDITURE RESPONSIBILITY REPORTS TO ENSURE THAT THE FUNDS WERE SPENT EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE CHARITABLE PURPOSES STATED IN THE PROPOSAL AND WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE OTHER RESTRICTIONS OF THE GRANT.
