What is expected of an applicant organization during a personal interview or site visit to discuss a specific grant request?
Depending on the grant request that has been submitted, site review teams from Dr. Phillips Charities will ask questions about the specific request to understand if the project is integral to the mission of the applicant organization and has been carefully developed with the full knowledge of the board and staff of the organization. It is important that key board and key staff members be present and able to participate fully in the discussion of the request. Questions will usually be asked about governance, financial management, staff capability and program implementation and evaluation. Most site visits last about one and one-half hours.
