<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Quick question for those of you who do subgrants…</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Do you award grants to library Friends groups on behalf of the library? These would be official nonprofits (501c(3)).
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">If so, do you require any documentation from the library’s governing authority to allow such an arrangement?
