MAILING OF APPLICATION
All applications should be delivered to a representative of the Baughman Family Foundation or mailed to the following address:
THE BAUGHMAN FAMILY FOUNDATION 107 Steele Court Sunset, SC 29685
No original documents should be sent. The Foundation is not responsible for returning any portion of the application or material attached to it.

PROCESSING THE APPLICATION
Applications are reviewed and discussed by a Foundation Review Committee. The Review Committee may contact you for more information, or possibly ask for a meeting. When the committee members have assured themselves that they understand what how the proposed grant will be used, they will evaluate your proposal in the light of the Foundation’s mission, other applications and available funds and will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will evaluate the proposal, taking the Committee’s recommendation into consideration and vote either to approve, reject or table the grant proposal. The Board of Directors meets twice per year and the results of the Board of Directors’ review will be communicated to you as soon as possible. All approved grants will be administered according to the instructions of the Board of Directors.
GRANT MONITORING
The trust placed in The Baughman Family Foundation, by its own donors and contributors and its status as a tax-exempt charitable organization, requires the highest fiscal integrity. The Foundation is responsible for the “stewardship” of charitable dollars; and in return, the Foundation wants to ensure their proper and lawful use by our grantees. The requirements for grantees are simple. First, grant monies must be used in accordance with the purposes set forth in the grant proposal, for purposes clearly identifiable as charitable under applicable federal and state laws. Any variation from the proposal must be approved in advance by the Foundation. Secondly, where projects or programs are operated for less than anticipated budgeted figures, all excess (unexpended) funds must be returned to the Foundation. The Foundation reserves the right to ask for a final narrative and financial report detailing how the funds were used. Some of the Foundation members may ask to meet with the grantee (or its representative) and to visit the project or program site. The Foundation could decide to call for an independent audit, and on rare occasions, it may be necessary to cancel a grant entirely. Such action, however, is highly undesirable for us as well as the grantee. The Baughman Family Foundation will stand firm on its obligation to ensure that all grants are spent solely in furtherance of the charitable purposes on which the funds were donated to the Foundation.
