Its grantmaking activities are governed by Canadian tax laws and best practices. MakeWay uses various methods to monitor granting activities and ensure they are compliant. When invited to make a grant, sub-grantees submit proposal documentation describing activities. Before grant approval, program and compliance officers also ensure that sub-grants being supported via American funding are consistent with IRS charitable requirements and restrictions. Grantees also agree to a set of terms/conditions of the grant, ensuring that activities are compliant and aligned with sub-granting purposes. Report-backs are required at the end of the grant-term. Program officers also use a variety of interim monitoring mechanisms, including a mix of oral/written interim reporting processes.
