How do you keep up with grant projects after the project is completed? Can you ensure these projects are still saving students money?
How do you keep up with grant projects after the project is completed? Can you ensure these projects are still saving students money?
Every year, we reach out to all of our grant teams to see if the use of the no-cost or low-cost materials is still happening, if the same or different resources are used, or if usage has discontinued, along with any reasons for discontinuation. If they respond, we update our grant savings numbers per the response. If they do not respond, we zero out this project’s savings for that time period. If they respond in a future year that use has continued, we will update the numbers appropriately. Discontinued projects are no longer checked on in future years.
