After the community grant review is complete, the Board of Directors’ role is to steward the final approval of the recommended slate. In doing so, the Board is not re-scoring individual applications or overriding community input. Instead, they are looking at the slate as a whole to ensure it meets BCYF’s public responsibilities and strategic commitments.

Specifically, the Board considers whether the recommended slate:

Faithfully reflects community review outcomes, including scores, feedback, and identified strengths.

Aligns with BCYF’s mission, values, and strategic priorities, including equity, youth impact, and community leadership.

Meets legal, fiduciary, and compliance requirements tied to public funding.

Maintains balance and reach across communities, issue areas, and organizational types as intended by the funding opportunity.

Is financially sound and sustainable, given available resources and budget constraints.

The Board’s approval is a final accountability step to ensure that community-informed recommendations can be responsibly funded and implemented—honoring community voice while upholding BCYF’s obligations as a public funder.
