[lstac] rolling grants

[cboyden at library.ohio.gov]

Hi, Jamie.

We offer Open Grants<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/lsta-grants/#AvailableGrants> year-round and on a rolling basis.  Thanks to monthly meeting with our Fiscal Team, I am able to remain informed of how funds are being spent throughout the grant year - avoiding "running out of funds for Open Grant awardees."

As for the mechanics of the grant, folks can apply any time, though I think the website discourages submission during the last quarter of the calendar year due to the SPR, but that's purely for my own sanity.  I should also note that there are submission dates listed on the website, but they are more like guidelines and really posted more as workflow control than anything else.

Depending upon the submission date (month), and the timing of the project, the contract will be written for the current or next FFY.  Sometimes this requires a phone call and flexibility on the part of the awardee.   Ultimately, the grantees are less concerned about which FFY the funds are coming from; they just want their grant projects funded.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any further questions or want to talk more about this offline.  Sometimes talking through scenarios is most helpful.

Hi, everyone,

Do any of you administer rolling subgrants? Our humanities council accepts applications for mini-grants on an ongoing basis until funds are exhausted. If you accept subgrant applications on a rolling basis, I would love to know how that works for you -- in vivid detail!

Thanks!
