Thanks Alyse. I would love to see any emergency policies. We established an emergency fund to help nonprofits, but had not considered allowing grants to students or others. Bettie

One of my questions would be how it works? Do you make the assistance grant directly to the student or to the school? Our policies currently do not allow grants/scholarships to be paid to individuals or to for profits. So that may limit our participation with an emergency assistance fund for students. Bettie

@AlyseBraaten , @SarahBattersby I would love to know more about a regional scholarship provider collaborative! Bettie

I fully agree. That's why I've included those (outcomes) in our application - and we'll be able to share it in the report side so they can see what they said they would do. And why I included examples of objectives and outcomes and links to a resource for more information. Most of our grants are small, but we still want to…

Great thoughts. I was 'raised' in the Community Action Agency world of Results Oriented Management and Accountability (ROMA) process - a long time ago. It is/was a good process, albiet cumbersome. BUT, even as the lead grant writer and program evaluator for our agency, I asked those same questions / thoughts @TomWickersham…

@jessicamace I was wondering the same thing as I am in the process of developing our grant applications. We just have the Standard license for GLM so we do not have branching capability. I am putting in questions specific to #of persons to be served, geographic areas of service, and type of population served…

@BethNuttall Thanks! I will have to look into that. Have you used it with electronic agreements built into Foundant GLM or SLM?

These are great, Lisa! Thank you for sharing! Bettie

We actually give our beneficiaries 3 choices (what was I thinking??) To preface: we determine our distributions at the end of each fiscal year (12/31). We remove the amounts from the endowment, put in an interest bearing account. A letter is sent to each beneficiary organization along with a fund report letting them know…

Hi Danielle Those are great questions. I especially like the one about the time expected to complete. I will also ask a question about the ease of using the online system and if the instructions were clear. (I have had some feedback in that area from a user. I'll let you know how it goes! Bettie

Hi @LisaBoxWilliams , I would love to know more about how you use the merge file function. I have not yet tried that! I would love to see an example of what you give to your board. Would you be willing to share? Thanks so much! Bettie

Carol Reynolds - thank you! I agree that less is better and tying it to the specific grant cycle is important. I also want to keep the number of forms to a minimum, though I realize that one size does not fit all. But this is very helpful. I may ask you for some examples of your pdfs. Bettie

Hi Leslie I'm still working from home but we have a document retention and destruction policy that lists how long things should be kept. I'll ask my assistant to find the backup documents that we used to develop that policy along with a copy of our policy and send it later. Best regards, Bettie

Thank you Elsie! This is helpful information. You are right - transition doesn't happen overnight. So we are slowly working on it. As things settle down, we'll be meeting with some new IT providers about various services. I appreciate the information and advice. Bettie

Thank you for sharing this form! Great ideas - I especially love that they've already incorporated the changes happening because of COVID-19.

Our region in PA goes to yellow on Friday. This classification still recommends telecommuting where possible. Currently planning to keep things as they are for now. We only have 3 employees. I (E.D.) work from home. The Administrative Assistant works in the office. The Office assistant is able to work from home on assigned…

We are also looking at this - having just signed a contract with my phone/internet provider via Docusign. I have so far this past month set up electronic Grant Agreements and Conflict of Interest and Confidentiality Acknowledgement Forms through Foundant's GLM and SLM modules. I'll be adding the Scholarship Acceptance and…
