Can I use grant money to reimburse purchases made before the grant was awarded?

Answered By Ariele Gregerson, Editor


The use of grant money on reimbursing purchases before the grant was awarded depends on the grant you are applying for. There are grants that specify complete reimbursement of the purchases incurred using the grant money prior to the approval of the grant provided that it is specified on the line-item budget duly approved by the grant-awarding body. Therefore, the use of grant money for reimbursement of purchases made prior to the awarding of the grant is applicable.

On the other hand, there are also grant agreement which states that "no purchase may be incurred prior to the awarding of the grant". In other words, you can not made any purchase prior to awarding the grant to you, which means there will be no reimbursement that will happen because you did not make any purchases prior to the approval of your grant. Therefore, the use of grant money for reimbursement is inapplicable.
