<p class="MsoNormal">I will advance funds upon request but require they be spent within 30 days of them receiving the check. I much prefer to only do reimbursements because I have been burned by doing advancements a few times. Reimbursements are a great compliance
tool for me. To me, this is where risk assessment and monitoring is helpful. If I feel confident in the grantee to spend it properly, I usually don't have an issue advancing funds.<o:p></o:p></p>
