The grant report should also include any information required for a valid receipt that is not visible on the mobile app "receipt" (see the guidelines above for what details must be included on the itemized receipt or hand-written receipt for it to be acceptable.)

titleReceipts for Shared Expenses

Receipts for Shared Expenses

If a grant expense is used to pay an individual for a portion of an expense that requires a receipt (and the portion exceeds the $25/$75 guidelines), he/she will need to submit two receipts. This includes both a copy of the original receipt with the total expense amount listed from the individual who collected the money and paid for the total expense, as well as a hand-written or mobile/banking app receipt for the portion paid to the individual. These two receipts provide Reliant with sufficient documentation of the transactions. The grant report should include all details required for the hand-written or mobile/banking app receipts, as detailed above.
