During the grant period, Freshwater Future staff are in contact with grant recipients, providing information, assistance and guidance. At the end of the grant period for each grant, a reporting form is completed by the grant recipient and submitted to Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Network and Fund, Inc. for approval. If funds were spent as outlined in the contract the file is closed and the grant recipient is sent a letter stating that their grant has successfully been closed. If not all of the funds have been expended, or if funds were expended in ways that were not in the grant contract, the grant recipient is contacted for more information. If funds remain unexpended, the grant recipient is given a time period for spending the remaining funds for activities outlined in teh original grant contract and then asked to submit another report at the end of that time period. If funds were expanded for purposes outside of the grant contract, the grant recipient will be asked to either amend their agreement with Freshwater Future to a resolution acceptable to both organizations or if the funds were spent of a prohibited activitity, the grant recipient will be asked to refund that portion of the grant award.
