Excess Funds for SAFER Grant

[volfireman034]

What do you do if you have excess funds from a SAFER Grant? Example given $1,500 for 3 banners but only spent $1,200? Do we have to get approval for using the money to purchase anything else or as long as it's sill with in the direct scope of the grant project we can use it to something no specifically asked for in the grant?

From the PG:

Recruitment & Retention of Volunteer Firefighters Activity Grantees

Grantees that have completed the approved scope of work in this activity and still have grant funds available may use the excess funds to continue with recruitment or retention activities provided they are consistent with the original scope of work and conducted within the originally approved period of performance. This shall be done through the amendment request process.
