| What to submit | The organization will make grants to qualified charities. Such grants will further the exempt purposes of the organization because the grantee charities will use the funds to further their respective exempt purposes. The organization does not anticipate having any written contracts with grantees, nor is it anticipated that there will be any formal relationship between the organization and the grantee charities. Furthermore, the organization has not yet determined whether it will have a specific application form or whether it will merely respond to solicited and unsolicited requests. However, at a minimum the organization will require copies of the determination letters for each proposed grantee charity and, if the funds are to be used for specific purposes (rather than merely the general exempt purposes of the grantee organization), the organization will set forth such restrictions in a standard grant letter. |
