[lstac] Giving out funds in advance or only reimbursements

[NIELSEN Buzzy * SLO]

We recently started giving out some LSTA-funded grants in advance, which we'd already done for years with a state-funded grant we run. We're giving out grants that are $20,000 or less in advance, which is based on my spending authority. We reimburse for larger grants, unless doing so would pose a hardship for the grantee.

Cheers!

LSTA Coordinators,

My CFO has posed this question to me for the wisdom of the group. Do any of you give out funds in advance (once a grant agreement has been signed), or does everyone do strictly reimbursement? Any advice greatly appreciated!
