I noticed that a grant has ended but the grantee did not use the entire award amount. What happens to the “leftovers”?
If a grantee is reimbursed for the project as it goes along, and doesn’t use the entire amount of the grant, the funding gets de-obligated and returned to the State. If a grantee receives all its funding up front, it is required to refund any unused portions of the grant. At times, DCEO has gone to court to have funding returned to the state.
