The Impact100 South Jersey Grant Finance Review team seeks new or existing members with experience in accounting or who are comfortable with basic business math and Excel. We’re making an early ask because the committee’s work begins before the end of our membership drive.
The first step in our Core Mission Grant review process is for applicants to submit their IRS Form 990s and financial statements for the prior three years so the Grant Finance Review Committee can ensure they meet eligibility requirements.
The Work: Members of this committee review the financial statements and information potential applicants submit, and complete a spreadsheet with key indicators and ratios. You may also make notes to help determine the applicant’s eligibility to move forward to apply for a Core Mission grant. Our goal in this process is to ensure that organizations invited to submit full applications are financially healthy enough to manage a large grant.
Timing: Non-profits submit their financial information in the Fall, and reviews are completed between mid-December and mid-January so we can advise those who are eligible to begin their Core Mission grant applications. This work is completed well before tax season. This committee’s work is done remotely, and meetings are virtual.
Members interested in participating in this critical grant review step should join or renew by October 15th. This will allow us to time to organize the committee and provide training.
