Golden LEAF Foundation grantee agreements require that grantees immediately notify the Foundation of any changes to the project funded, including project goals, objectives, timelines or ANY proposed changes to the grant budget. These changes require advance approval by the Foundation.

Grantee agreements state: "If the Grantee proposes to modify the budget, the objectives, or any other feature of the project funded, it shall not expend any funds from this grant for such purposes unless the Foundation has approved such proposed modifications in writing. Moreover, no further payments shall be made to the Grantee in connection with the project funded unless and until the Foundation has approved such proposed modifications in writing."

If there is a proposed change to the scope, outcomes, timeline or activities of a funded project, contact the Foundation's programs staff toll-free at 888-684-8404 or email Pat Cabe, Courtney Mills or Ted Lord. Programs staff will discuss the proposed changes with you and provide further instruction.

For budget modification requests, please submit in writing a request to modify the budget. The request should include the current approved budget and line items, the changes + or - to those line items and the revised budget as the grantee would like to see it. A justification and explanation of the changes should accompany the request. For convenience, grantees can use the Budget Modification Request Form.

For questions about any modification request, please contact the Foundation's programs staff toll-free at 888-684-8404 or email Pat Cabe, Courtney Mills or Ted Lord.
