ReturnReference Explanation
PART I, LINE 2: ELIGIBLE CANDIDATES FOR THE HUMAN RIGHTS FOUNDATION'S (HRF) GRANTS ARE INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS WHO CARRY OUT PROJECTS THAT PROMOTE AND DEFEND HUMAN RIGHTS IN CLOSED SOCIETIES. IN ORDER TO ASSESS ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARDS AND GRANTS, HRF'S LEGAL AND POLICY DEPARTMENT CONDUCTS DUE DILIGENCE ON A SELECT NUMBER OF CANDIDATES. AFTERWARD, THIS LIST IS REVIEWED BY THE PROGRAMS DEPARTMENT OF HRF, WHICH THEN REQUESTS GRANT APPLICATIONS FROM THE CANDIDATES. THE GRANT APPLICATIONS DESCRIBE CANDIDATES' PROJECTS, INCLUDING THEIR STATEMENT OF NEED, GOALS, PLAN OF ACTION, AND BUDGET. THE APPLICATIONS ARE THEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED. AT REGULAR INTERVALS, HRF ASKS THE RECIPIENTS FOR AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRESS OF THEIR PROJECTS. AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE FUNDED PROJECTS, PURSUANT TO THE REPORTING GUIDELINES SET FORTH BY HRF, HRF REQUIRES RECIPIENTS TO SUBMIT A FINAL REPORT DETAILING HOW THE FUNDS WERE USED AND THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND IMPACT THAT WERE MADE. THIS INCLUDES RECEIPTS, INVOICES OR EQUIVALENT DOCUMENTS ACCORDING TO THE COUNTRY WHERE THE PROJECT IS CARRIED OUT. GRANTS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BITCOIN DEVELOPMENT FUND THAT ARE GIVEN TO DEVELOPERS ARE MONITORED VIA THE DEVELOPER'S GITHUB PAGE. GITHUB DISPLAYS THE GRANT RECIPIENT'S CODING WORK, UPDATES, AND PROJECT PROGRESS. FOR GRANT SELECTION, HRF REVIEWS THEIR PREVIOUS CODING WORK, CONSULTS WITH EXPERTS IN THE RELEVANT COMMUNITY, AND ANALYZES THE FEASIBILITY OF THE GRANT PROPOSAL.
