Acknowledgment Letter

An acknowledgment letter that includes the program name, the grant amount and the statement “No goods or services were provided as a result of this contribution” should be submitted promptly after receiving a grant payment.

Site Visits

All grantees are encouraged to coordinate with staff at least one site visit per year so that the foundation may observe and more fully understand the programming supported. The foundation understands that some programs occur during certain times of the year and looks forward to working with its grantees to schedule these visits at a mutually agreeable time.

Grant Report or Scholarship Update

Effective January 2024, the Siragusa Family Foundation no longer expects organizations receiving a grant in the amount of $10,000 or less to submit an annual grant report, unless you are part of our Siragusa Scholars portfolio. In lieu of the report, we encourage grantee partner organizations to schedule a site visit or meeting with foundation staff once per year. If you would like to share narrative updates, we welcome receiving a report that your organization has completed for another funder.

Organizations receiving a grant in the amount of $15,000 or more are asked to submit a grant report detailing activities supported by the foundation during the grant year. A site visit or meeting with foundation staff once per year is also encouraged.

Information about the grant report and scholarship update is available here.

Staff Updates

Grantees should promptly update the foundation about any staff changes that occur within their organization, specifically those regarding persons involved with a grant, i.e. executive, development and program staff. The Staff Update Form can be submitted as often as needed throughout the year.

Other Changes

Grantees are also expected to notify the foundation immediately if the following should occur:

• The organization’s tax exemption is revoked or if there are any reasonable grounds to believe that it may be revoked.
• The organization cannot expend the funds provided for the purposes specified in the award letter.
• There is a change in the organization’s corporate structure, or if there is a significant change in management or operation.
• There is a change with relation to the program that is being funded by the foundation.

Please contact the foundation staff with any questions or concerns.
