I understand that this is a recommendation and not a direction. I further understand that Rochester Area Foundation (RAF) reviews all grants to ensure that the organization is a qualified charity under IRS regulations, and that the purpose of the grant is charitable in nature. RAF may deny a recommendation if the grant does not meet criteria for approval.
I acknowledge that this grant is NOT intended to:
- Fulfill an existing pledge. (An existing pledge is one made before this grant has been approved by RAF.)
- Acquire more than an incidental benefit, good, or service for any specific individual or myself.
- Pay for event sponsorship, event tables, items from a charitable auction, or other goods or services.
- Support a political campaign or lobbying activity.
- Support an individual (scholarships, tuition, awards).
- Support a private non-operating foundation.
