Pass-Through Grants Journal

Grant Agreements

FY17 Grant Agreements were sent to all LCCMR and LSOHC grant recipients in mid-July. For those of you who have signed and returned them, thank you! For those that haven't, please sign and send to your assigned Grants Specialist as soon as possible. We cannot reimburse for any expenses until the grant agreement is executed.

Year-End Acquisitions

The month of December tends to be a busy time for reimbursement requests and land purchases. If your organization is planning to acquire land or an easement before the end of the year, please notify your Grants Specialist as far in advance as possible. We want to make certain we assist everyone in meeting their closing dates.

Budget Spreadsheets

When preparing to submit a reimbursement request, please make certain to use the correct budget spreadsheet for your project. The LCCMR (Trust Fund) and LSOHC (Legacy) projects have different spreadsheets. If you have any questions, please contact your Grants Specialist. We are happy to assist you.


Reimbursment Manual Training

Important Reminder

If your organization had a project that ended on June 30, 2016 and you have not yet submitted your final reimbursement request, please let your grants specialist know when it can be expected. Final billings are due within 30 days of the end of the project and additional action is needed to keep the funds available in SWIFT. The final report has to be submitted and approved by either the LCCMR or LSOHC before final payment can be made.
