• Plan your projects as bare-
bones, nice to have, and blue-sky

Examples
• I’m buying 20 widgets but the
vendor has reduced the
price, so I can get 30 for the
same cost. Can I buy them?
• A training project included a
buffet dinner. I bought a
glass of wine at the cash bar.
Can I submit my receipt for
the wine as part of my
training expenses?

sales tax in the quote. May I
bill it to the grant?
