Do's and Don‘t • Do: • Submit documentation on time. • Augment grant documentation with visual evidence such as “before and after” pictures of an improvement project, flyers produced to advertise an event, or other materials developed with the funds. • Document more than the amount of the grant to ensure expended funds can be fully accounted for. • Don’t • Use CASH for purchases. Whenever possible, pay with organization check or credit card for best evidence of purchase. • Claim expenditures under this grant program for which your organization has or will claim from any other source.
