IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS FOR GRANT RECIPIENTS:

Quarterly expenditure reports are no longer required for FY 2026 due to

final expenditure report is due within 20 calendar days after the project is completed. It should describe the use of the grant funds and actual project expenditures. If actual project expenditures are less than expected (so that the amount of the grant is greater than 50 percent of the total project expenditures), the applicant shall refund the amount of the grant that is in excess of 50 percent of actual project expenditures, including any interest earned on the unexpended portion.
