Baptist Healing Trust monitors all grants awarded by utilizing both progress reports and site visits. The Trust requires an appropriate evaluation plan for the funded project to be submitted for approval as a component of the Award Agreement (contract) that is completed once a grant is awarded by the Trust. An appropriate evaluation design includes description of the overall evaluation design and projected outcomes. The Trust deems such evaluation efforts as helpful to projects to meet their goal(s), particularly by pointing the way to developing or improving projects in the course of implementation. Grantees work with BHT staff in establishing an evaluation plan for the funded project. The Trust generally requires semi-annual reports that outline grant activity including both programmatic and financial performance.

The Trust asks that all grantees agree to work in collaboration with BHT staff and independent evaluators by providing data which is reasonably requested, by being reasonably available in matters relating to the grants, and responding cooperatively to feedback which may arise from the evaluation process (i.e., making improvements in the program as deemed necessary for success).

The Trust also asks for unaudited financial reports during the term of the grant for both the program funded by the Trust and for the organization as a whole.
