This contract also obligates grantees to inform MAZON in advance if they are unable to carry out the work for which a grant was received, in order to get MAZON approval for alternative use of the grant or to return the funds to MAZON. These grantees must submit annual written reports to the Israel Director and the Executive Vice-President as a requirement of funding, which are reviewed by Israel and US staff and shared with the Board of Directors. The report requires a narrative account of what was accomplished by the expenditure of the grant funds during the period covered by the grant. MAZON holds bi-monthly convenings of multiple grantee cohorts, to discuss programs and jointly strategize activities, which all grantees are required to attend. In addition, the organization holds one in-person conference which all grantees are required to attend.
