Kresge's work in this area, please visit: http://kresge.org .
Grant Term/Return of Funds
This Grant, in the amount of $500,000, is in the support of the Project.
The Grant period begins August 01, 2019 and ends November 30, 2021 ("Grant Term" and "Reporting
Period") unless terminated earlier as provided for in the Grant Agreement. Any Grant funds that have not
been used for, or committed to, the Project upon expiration or termination of this Agreement must be
returned to Kresge within 45 days after the final report is due, unless the Parties otherwise agree in
writing. Kresge encourages the Grantee to contact its primary contact at least one month before the final
report is due if the Grantee needs an extension of time or alteration of its activities.
Termination/Withholding Payment
Kresge may modify, suspend, or discontinue any payment of Grant funds or terminate this Agreement if
(a) Kresge is not reasonably satisfied with the Organization's progress on the Project; (b) there are
significant changes to the Organization's leadership or other factors Kresge reasonably believes may
threaten the Project's success; (c) there is a change in the Organization's control; (d) there is a change in
the Organization's tax status; or (e) the Organization fails to comply with this Agreement.
Kresge reserves the right to cancel, modify, or withhold any payments that might otherwise be due under
the Grant, to require a refund of any unexpended funds, or both, if in Kresge's sole judgment any of the
following occurs: (I) Grant funds have been used for purposes other than those specified by this Grant
Agreement (such action is necessary to comply with the requirements of any law or regulation affecting
your Organization's or Kresge's responsibilities under this Grant or to avoid the imposition of penalties or
excise taxes), and (2) your Organization's performance under this Grant has been unsatisfactory.
