Adherence to this policy is a requirement to transfer funds. It also outlines the scope and boundaries, responsibilities, and the steps for various vetting methods such as Expenditure Responsibility (ER) and Equivalency Determination (ED). Any NGO that serves the development and advancement of underserved segments of Turkish population, with a specific focus on education, healthcare, environment and natural disaster relief may apply for BTF Grants. Organizations that serve political parties and religious organizations or are formed to help terrorist organizations either directly or indirectly, cannot become applicants. Both the new applicants and previous grantees are subject to a pre-grant inquiry process. New applicants undergo a detailed inquiry, whereas previously granted NGO Partners are expected to complete their missing and obsolete documents. Once the required documents are submitted, BTF reviews and approves their validity. Additionally, a 501(c)(3) public support equivalency is performed for the revenue streams of the NGO. BTF also implements a hybrid approach for vetting by referring to the IRS's two vetting methods, Expenditure Responsibility (ER) and Equivalency Determination (ED). ER is a method to ensure that the grants made to foreign organizations are used solely for charitable purposes with tracking of each expense item. With the ED method, the applicant NGO is vetted as an equivalent organization for crossborder giving. This vetting is based on a detailed inquiry representing the applicant's legal standing. Required documents for the vetting are these: Security check from OFACs Sanctions List History and experience Detailed explanation of previous project management experience, Last Affidavit approved by the local governors office (Document 21 for Associations, and Document 5 for Foundations), Bylaws, Founding Articles, Organizational chart, A list of governing board, key officers, and project officers, Annual reports for the last two years, Financial Statement for the last two years, Budget for the last two years including the current fiscal year, Statement of purpose, Statement of a separate USD bank account including the accounts full name, Banks swift code, IBAN, and the province (The document should be stamped and signed), Major Donor list Names, and contact info of professional team.

The programs and initiatives are closely tracked and recorded in the Grants Module of the Bridge to Turkiye CRM/Data Base.
