Employee Foundation

My company has an employee foundation that is completely funded by employees and provides grants to charitable organizations. I give money to the foundation out of every check which makes me eligible to:

• Champion an organization for a grant
• Review and approve grants

Right now I am reviewing the grants and rating them for approval. The gal that runs the program is ready to throw me out of the process because I keep asking questions! :-)
The thing is....I take this all very seriously and want to make sure I am giving each group the appropriate consideration. The grants I am considering are worth about $350k. And all the organizations are trying to do the right thing, so it is tough reviewing them.
