7) A brief statement committing to provide Single Socks with a report, not to exceed one page, of how the work is progressing. We would like to receive this report within six months of your receipt of the grant monies, or within one month of the completion of the work, whichever comes first.

Please note that, for the Spring 2013 Grant Cycle, proposals considered for grant funding will be limited to pantries, kitchens, and other organizations that directly distribute food stocks to people in need. 

Single Socks is very appreciative of organizations that engage in educational and infrastructure-building activities.  We anticipate soliciting funding proposals for this type of work in our next grant cycle.

8) A signed statement, by the appropriate person within the applying organization, committing that the information submitted in the application is accurate.
