Payment and monitoring

Where a grant involves purchase of product or services, payment will normally be made on production of copies of receipts or invoices specifically relating to items or activities for which the award was agreed.

Where it funds a post, a first instalment of an award will be normally be made on proof of appointment. Monitoring arrangements will be agreed to enable further instalments to be released at appropriate times.

Where a grant may run for more than one financial year, a satisfactory report on the year or years of operation will be called for. Guidance will be provided to organisations on reporting requirements during the initial year of funding.

To monitor awards effectively, and evaluate their impact on the local community, the Charity may request additional information from grant recipients.

The Charity reserves the right to be involved in the management of projects for which it is a significant funder.
