| | Below you will find our templates
for the October 31st deadline, wherein we do everything for you except fill in the answers.
Copy and use verbatim each template provided.
Prepare and send an email addressed to us - mpwcfoundation@gmail.com,
between October 1st and October 31st of every year. The subject of
this email should be "EXAMP-2012- Section A Confirmation".
You should copy and paste the below templates (emails and/or attachments) (nothing less, nothing
more) and send them to us after inserting your own answers. Be sure to
conform to the following color-coding.
| Things you should read, then
possibly
change to ENTER your own information, and then if changed, change the color coding
to BLACK
Things you should read as they are
instructive in nature, but you should delete or erase them (and close up
the space) before sending them to us. (GREEN)
Things that ask questions or make statements
that will remain on the input, but which will be followed by the
below... (NAVY)
Responses to the above questions or
statements from us, that respond to the above questions or statements.
(BLACK)
Changes (this year's editings, deletions,
additions) to the above that was otherwise THE SAME as you sent us last
year. Note that in these cases, after the grants have been paid,
the changes are to be re-colored to match and become the ongoing
response. (RED). |
The template for the EMAIL that you should copy and paste is immediately below:
The following response to our 20 questions would probably be more EFFICIENTLY prepared
if you had an ONGOING AMENDABLE LIST of the answers to these questions and you
submitted it WITH MARKINGS (to differentiate) the current year's changes, if
any, on this list. Then use that list (again next year, as once again amended and updated)
for future
years.
The following is the template for the ATTACHMENT to the above email is "EXAMP-2012- 20
Questions"
 | 1-Have you read and completely understood our entire Eligibility
page and now send us this written statement affirming that you have met
(and still meet) every requirement under the heading "Each
new grantee organization MUST:" |
Yes, we are doing just that here in this
20 questions attachment.
| 2-Do you state what methods you use to ensure
continuity and consistency of your programs through re-invigoration
and eventual succession of your current management? Your
response may refer to an updated version of your annual
attachment which will be due Jan 31st that states in much greater detail just what you are
CURRENTLY doing to assure continuity |
Yes, we have already started
writing the responses and we will include them in a detailed statement called "EXAMP-2012-Continuity"
using your continuity web-page as a
starting point. This statement will use the template on the due
Jan 31st webpage as a starting point to aid our answering this.
