Does checking apply to re-grants and scholarships?
Yes. When you sign a new grant agreement and issue a new grant payment, you should list-check. Likewise, when you give a scholarship you should list-check. Q: Do we list-check if we pay a third party for conference registration fees for staff from another organization? What about if we support other organizations by reimbursing travel costs, providing meals, etc. when those organizations attend meetings or training? Are all these grants? A: If in doubt, the safest course of action is to list-check. If the activity primarily benefits the mission and program of the organization or individual receiving the money it is a grant. If the activity primarily benefits the mission and program of the organization donating the money, it is not a grant. Paying a contractor for services is not a grant. Q: Should we check an organization’s official name and its acronym when the acronym is more commonly used. A: List-check using the full name.
