Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ's):
How long is the application process?
Once an agency submits all the appropriate documents-IRS 501c3, Articles of Incorporation, and a current list of the Board of Directors- the Agency Capacity Department calls to set up a monitoring visit. If an agency does not have all the documentation, naturally the application process will be longer.
What is a monitoring visit?
As an affiliate of Feeding America San Diego (FASD) is required to monitor all partner agencies at least once every two years. The purpose of the monitoring visit is to:
ï Learn more about our partner agencies and determine how the Feeding America San Diego can serve them best.
ï Verify that our partner agencies are storing and distributing food safely and in accordance to the requirements outlined in the Agency Agreement.
What could an agency do to prepare for a Monitoring Visit?

After an agency is monitored, the Agency Capacity Department will send a letter informing the agency if they were approved or not.
