This is a page for brainstorming ideas about improving the grants approval process.
Options For Verifying Grants
There are two parts to verifying an grant's eligibility. The first is to verify the eligibility of the organization. Options for doing this are:
- Check business registry.
- Check website. (What do we look for?)
- Check contacts from website: like board members, other people in positions of leadership.
- Ask for paperwork like brochures, etc.
- Ask to see organizational plan.
- Interview them about projects, past, present, and future. (Other questions?)
The second is to verify the contact's association with the eligible organization.
- Do they have an organizational e-mail?
- Is their name on the website?
- Call another contact from the website if possible. Can they vouch for the person who contacted Free Geek?
Red Flags
These signs should make us look more closely at a grant.
