For those of you who have already signed and returned your
Grant Agreement, thank you! Just a friendly reminder for those who haven't yet;
please sign and send those in to your Grants Specialist as soon as you can.
While you can still incur costs associated with your project, we are unable to
reimburse you for any expenses with an unexecuted grant agreement. If you have
any questions, please contact your Grants Specialist.
Important Reminder for Projects that ended on
June 30, 2014
If your organization had a project that ended on June 30, 2014 and
you have not yet submitted your final reimbursement, please contact your Grant
Specialist to notify them of when the reimbursement request can be expected.
Final billings are due within 30 days of the end of the project period and
additional action is needed to keep funds available in SWIFT. As a reminder,
the final report must be approved by either LSOHC or LCCMR staff before the
final payment can be made.
The Grants Unit would like to thank everyone who attended our
annual Reimbursement Training webinar session on September 4. Approximately 40
of you spent the morning with us and educated or re-educated yourself on our
process and procedures. We have posted the link to the training PowerPoint
on the training page on our website for your reference.
If your organization is planning to acquire land before the end
of the year, please notify your Grants Specialist well in advance of the ten
business day requirement if possible. December tends to be a busy time for
reimbursement requests and land purchases and we want to make sure we
assist everyone in meeting their closing dates.
The DNR offices will be closed on the following dates:
Tuesday, November 11 for Veteran's Day
Thursday and Friday, November 27 & 28 for Thanksgiving
Thursday, December 25 for Christmas Day
Thursday, January 1, 2015 for New Year's Day
