Mission

THE UNITED NATIONS FOUNDATION PRIMARILY MAKES GRANTS TO THE UNITED NATIONS AND ITS RELATED/AFFILIATED AGENCIES AS WELL AS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN SUPPORT OF OUR MISSION. MONITORING OF FUNDS GRANTED TO THOSE AGENCIES CONSISTS PRIMARILY OF GRANT REPORTS RECEIVED QUARTERLY, SEMIANNUALLY OR ANNUALLY AS STIPULATED IN THE GRANT AGREEMENTS. FROM TIME TO TIME, THE UNITED NATIONS FOUNDATION ALSO REQUIRES INTERMITTENT UPDATES FROM GRANTEES TO MONITOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF GRANT-RELATED RESOURCES AND ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS AND PROGRESS OF GRANT ACTIVITIES.
