Reporting Overview

A workplan must be approved before work can begin on this grant. The workplan should be developed in eLINK. For equipment & supplies expenditures greater than $3,500, the grantee must describe in the workplan how all equipment purchased will continue to be used for the same program through its useful life, or, if the use changes, a commitment to pay back an amount equal to either the cash value received or a residual value approved. The workplan will lock upon submittal to BWSR for approval, preventing edits to the approved budget but allowing you to enter expenses and reporting details as work is completed. If you need make revisions to the workplan after it has been approved and locked, please consult with your Board Conservationist.

Grant recipients are required to report on grant outcomes, activities, and accomplishments in eLINK according to the requirements outlined in the grant agreement and policies within BWSR’s Grants Administration Manual.  Clean Water Fund grant agreements stipulate that the grantee must “comply with requirements for project signage.” The logo may be displayed on legacy-funded construction projects; at access points to any land or water resources restored, protected, or enhanced through Legacy funds; or on printed and other materials funded with money from one or more of the funds. The Legacy logo should be prominently displayed on the grantee’s website.
