Get Reimbursed for Your Expenditures
Local library and statewide library service grants are paid on a reimbursement basis only. Once your reimbursement request is received, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania reimburses your organization about month from the date your request is approved.
Revise Your Project Budget
You must have prior written approval for all budget revisions if the amount of money to be re-allocated is greater than 10% of the total award. You must provide evidence that the scope of the project has not changed.
Budget revision requests must be received by May 31.
