The implementation of the strategy has resulted in a more focused grant giving process. This is operated from the time of grant application, assessment and approval through to a vigorous programme of grant monitoring and end of grant review.
The Trustees consider that systematic evaluation of a project is important for a formal analysis of what has been achieved, for a chance to reflect on the experience, and to inform future work that might be undertaken. Specifically grant monitoring is undertaken both to measure the impact the Trust’s funds have made to a project and to review and determine the future funding of a project if the intention is for the Trust to support over a period of time. The interim and end of grant reviews also help to identify whether the targets outlined in the original application have been met. The monitoring and evaluation programme includes attendance by Trust personnel at project meetings, site visits, completion of the Trust’s evaluation form and written progress reports, photographs and CD Roms from grant recipients.
It should also be stated that the Trustees will only
consider repeat funding for a project/initiative where the recipient can demonstrate that the funds awarded have (a) been applied as intended; (b) met the specified objectives; and (c) have gone some way in making an impact or difference to the ultimate beneficiaries.
Should it become evident during the evaluation process that a project funded by the Trust is unlikely to proceed the recipient is asked to return the grant.
Some grants are awarded on a multi-year basis. In the main these are for a period of three years and usually not more than five. All term grants are contingent on an annual review process. This reflects the obligations placed on the recipients of these grants to meet specific conditions in order for funding to be renewed each year.
When evaluating projects and measuring their impact, the Trustees acknowledge that in some cases their grant is one part of a funding mosaic and cannot therefore take sole credit for the project outcomes.
