Over the Rainbow-Franklin County Children’s Advocacy Center is requesting $99,882 to support the provision of a Family Advocate to sustain and meet the growing needs of the children’s advocacy center. These funds will be used for the following: • Provide immediate outreach to families upon the receipt of a referral to schedule appointments, provide guidance and answer questions regarding the child’s visit to the center • Provide ongoing education and support throughout the investigative process • Assist families in the referral process for receiving trauma focused mental health services • Increase the number of children who receive trauma focused mental health services • Collaborate with Mental Health professionals to ensure children are receiving trauma-focused, evidence supported mental health treatment • Provide support and educational groups for children and non-offending caregivers • Assist families in connecting with partner victim service provider agencies for community resources and support GRANT: 48720 Short Title: 2026 Endowment ACT - CAC Page 6 of 44 SECTIONS: B. Statement of Purpose - EA-CACs/DVSOs 1. Applicants should provide a general description of their agency and the services provided, including the total number of child victims of abuse served in 2025 (physical and sexual abuse). If you are a CAC, please describe your NCA member history and current membership level (if applicable). Provide information related to any applications for NCA accreditation/re-accreditation that are projected to occur during 2026-2028. Over The Rainbow-The Children’s Advocacy Center of Franklin County (hereafter “OTR-CAC”) began providing direct services (including a Forensic Interview, Medical Exam, Victim Advocacy and Mental Health referral) in October of 2014. Since inception OTR-CAC has provided direct services to nearly 2,750 reported child abuse victims and their families. 208 children and their families received services in 2025. OTR-CAC was awarded associate membership by the National Children’s Alliance in May of 2016. In December of 2021 OTR-CAC applied for Accreditation. In October 2022 OTR-CAC was awarded accredited status. Re accreditation will be scheduled for 2027. Franklin County responds to reports of suspected child sexual abuse through a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach governed by the Franklin County Child Protection Investigative Protocol. The Franklin County Multidisciplinary Team (hereafter “MDT”) is currently comprised of representatives from the District Attorney’s Office, Children and Youth Services, Law Enforcement (encompassing 9 individual jurisdictions), Family/Victim Advocate, Medical Provider and OTR-CAC staff (Forensic Interviewer). Representatives from the MDT convene at OTR-CAC for each individual reported case of suspected child sexual abuse upon onset. Team members observe the forensic interview of the child remotely via closed circuit video and meet with the non-offending caregiver to determine the appropriate course of action to assure the safety of the child, make additional referrals of needed services for both the child and the non-offending caregiver, and determine next steps in the investigative process. For each individual case, scheduling is coordinated with each discipline by OTR-CAC staff to assure all members are available on the date of the forensic interview. OTR-CAC staff schedules the individual cases (including notifications and confirmation of all MDT members), schedules monthly MDT active case review (to include preparation of the agenda and confirmation of MDT member notification / participation) and gathering of information/data for case tracking purposes. Members of the MDT meet once per month at OTR-CAC for the purpose of reviewing active cases. Case review is facilitated by OTR-CAC. The response system previously described is designed to avoid duplication of services as evidenced by the coordination of the MDT response from onset of report. OTR-CAC provides victim support and advocacy to all CAC clients and their non-offending caregivers on site beginning at initial case outcry. A Family Advocate is present at OTR-CAC on the date of the forensic interview to meet with the family. They provide comfort, reassurance, and support along with orienting the child and family to the CAC. They assist with intake paperwork, crisis intervention, education with regards to the MDT approach/process and subsequent referrals and follow up related to Mental Health services. The Family Advocate also facilitates groups for caregivers to provide further support and education to them throughout the process. The Family Advocate participates in active case reviews as a part of the MDT function. OTR-CAC has interagency agreements with four Mental Health providers in Franklin County. These organizations prioritize OTR-CAC cases to provide timely, trauma-based services to children. Several members of the organizations participate in team meetings and case reviews. The Family Advocate assures a seamless transition to other community victim service organizations as appropriate to meet the varying needs of families to include issues with housing, food insecurity, protection from abuse orders, and court accompaniment. OTR-CAC currently offers forensic medical exams to all child sexual abuse victims at the Children’s Advocacy Center. A contractual relationship has been created between OTR-CAC and WellSpan Health York Hospital to provide services onsite at OTR-CAC by qualified medical providers. This partnership allows for child abuse victims in Franklin County to receive specialized medical services without having to travel outside of the county. GRANT: 48720 Short Title: 2026 Endowment ACT - CAC Page 7 of 44 SECTIONS: 2. Describe the problem/need that the project will address. Supporting data and facts must be provided and be specific to your project and relevant to the program and proposed request. The purpose of this project is to address the ongoing need for a Family Advocate at the Child Advocacy Center. Children and families presenting to OTR-CAC are navigating a traumatic and confusing experience. Families are managing the emotional impact of their child’s allegations, while also attempting to understand the investigative process, assure safety, and identify resources. Many caregivers lack clear information about trauma, its impact on child behavior, and the types of counseling that are available to children. The connection between observed behaviors by the family and trauma behavior is not easily made for most families. Families often have misinformation about their child’s current counselors’ scope of work or expertise as it relates to trauma and are unsure of how to navigate through finding the appropriate services. There are often misperceptions of mental health services in general as well. In 2025, OTR-CAC served 208 children and their families. More than half (53%) required referrals for mental health services. While strong partnerships with four local providers help prioritize access to care, families still require individualized guidance to understand options, complete referrals, and remain engaged in services. Continuous support is critical throughout the duration of the investigation. Caregivers frequently have questions about case progress and about new or changing behaviors in their child. Research consistently shows that engaged and supportive caregivers are key to a child’s long-term healing. Without a dedicated Family Advocate providing education, coordination, and emotional support, families are at greater risk of confusion, disengagement, and unmet service needs. 3. If you are requesting funding to support existing personnel, are you anticipating losing your current source of funding for this position(s)? If so, describe any potential ramifications if you do not receive funding for this position. OTR-CAC’s current funding through PCCD for the position of Family Advocate will be fully expended by the end of 2026. Without this funding, OTR- CAC will not be able to continue funding the personnel for this position. Children and families will be impacted by the loss of this service as without these personnel we will not be able to provide the same level of care and service to children and families. Additionally, OTR-CAC will not be able to meet the standards for accreditation through the National Children’s Alliance without the Family Advocate position. GRANT: 48720 Short Title: 2026 Endowment ACT - CAC Page 8 of 44 SECTIONS: 4. Please describe how this project impacts your ability to achieve/maintain relevant victim service standards (e.g. Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD), Pennsylvania Coalition to Advance Respect (PCAR), and/or National Children’s Alliance (NCA). ) and/or provide direct services to child victims of abuse. If your organization is not awarded funding under this solicitation, will it impact your ability to meet applicable victim service standards? If yes, please discuss the specific standard and how this would impact your ability to meet compliance. This project will help to support the continued provision of family advocacy service to families and the existing personnel providing this service. OTR- CAC has a projected budget of $379,003. We anticipate a revenue stream from the service provision contract with Franklin County CYS/LE to be approximately $120,000, based upon the projected caseload of 270 per year. If awarded, this funding will assist in filling the gap between the operating budget and projected revenue stream while we continue to actively seek additional funding sources. Fundraising events and donor support is currently needed to fund 33% of the budget that is not funded by grants or service contracts. OTR-CAC currently has four full-time employees providing direct services, two of those employees fulfilling multiple roles. OTR-CAC does not receive funding from VOCA and is currently unable to apply for that funding stream. This funding will assist OTR-CAC in helping to fill some of the gaps in the budget and allow services to go uninterrupted for children and families. The Family Advocate plays a vital role in strengthening families’ capacity for hope and healing by serving as the primary bridge between caregivers and the MDT. This dedicated position ensures that every family receives focused, consistent, and trauma informed advocacy throughout the investigative process. The role is fully aligned with National Children’s Alliance (NCA) Standard 3, Victim Support and Advocacy, which outlines essential components of family advocacy, including ongoing training, comprehensive assessment of family needs, active collaboration with the MDIT, and sustained outreach and case management. 5. If your organization has previously received funding within the past two years from PCCD or other local, state, or federal grant sources to support your services for child sexual abuse victims, please describe the source of the grant, the amount of funding, a general description of the purpose of the funds, and when funds were received. OTR-CAC received PCCD funding in 2024 through the Endowment Act Direct Victim Services Organization category. $99,882 was granted to support the Family Advocate personnel to meet the growing needs of the children’s advocacy center and meet the standards for victim advocacy and mental health for accreditation. The project enabled the center to implement trauma-based assessments of children, assist families in the referral process for receiving appropriate mental health services, increase the number of children who receive trauma focused mental health services, provide support and educational groups for non-offending caregivers, and connect families with necessary and appropriate community resources. OTR-CAC also received $50,000 from the CAC-Birth Certificate Funds. This funding supports the Executive Director personnel. The Executive Director is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the Children’s Advocacy Center as well as serving as the Multidisciplinary Team Coordinator. 6. If your organization has recently made application for funding from PCCD or other local, state, or federal grant sources to support your victim services, please describe the source of the grant, an indication of whether or not the funding is competitive, the amount of funding, a general description of the purpose of the funds, and when funds are anticipated to be received.

Provide a detailed description of the proposed project, specifically describing how this project will address the challenges described in the statement of purpose section. Include information on how this project addresses the goals and objectives of this funding announcement. A coordinated Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) response to reports of suspected child abuse is a foundational principle of the Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) model. A collaborative MDT approach supports efficient interagency communication, ongoing involvement of key partners, and most importantly, meaningful support for children and families. Providing services in a neutral, child-focused CAC setting is associated with less anxiety for children, fewer interviews, and timely referrals for needed services. This coordinated response promotes education, support, and treatment for child victims and their families. It also empowers parents and caregivers to protect and support their child throughout the investigation and beyond. Within MDT discussions, the Family Advocate represents the family’s lived experience and provides insight into their needs, concerns, and family dynamics. This perspective helps team members understand how investigative steps may impact the family and promote practices that prioritize compassionate, coordinated, and culturally responsive care. By restoring a sense of choice, consent, and control — elements often compromised through victimization — the Family Advocate walks alongside caregivers as they navigate a complex and often overwhelming system. This guidance allows families to move through each stage of the process with greater clarity and confidence. The Family Advocate begins working with families upon referral to OTR-CAC. The Family Advocate assists with case coordination and ensures appropriate team members are engaged. Throughout a family’s involvement, the Family Advocate engages caregivers in conversations to identify concerns, assess needs, and connect them with appropriate support. Families are offered community-based resources, referrals, and printed materials addressing body safety, consent, child development, trauma reactions, online safety, healthy relationships, and caregiver well-being. These resources reinforce that families are supported throughout the process. The Family Advocate plays a critical role in strengthening access to trauma-focused, evidence-based mental health services for children and non-offending caregivers. OTR-CAC collaborates with community mental health agencies to refer families to qualified therapists. However, ongoing strain on mental health systems and lengthy waitlists require continued relationship- building with additional providers to ensure timely access to care. In partnership with community mental health agencies, the Family Advocate conducts mental health screenings, provides clear and accurate information about trauma and treatment options, and guides families through the referral and intake process. Ongoing follow-up ensures appointments are scheduled, barriers to attendance are addressed, and continuity of care is maintained, including assistance with provider transitions when necessary. Caregivers are often managing intense emotions, behavioral changes in their children, self-blame, and disruptions within their homes. When caregivers are supported, they are better able to support their children. The Family Advocate facilitates support groups for non-offending caregivers to provide education, peer connection, and coping skills. Topics include the investigative process, trauma responses, prevention strategies, and understanding offender behaviors. The Family Advocate also coordinates victim services across agencies and participates in case review to ensure evolving family needs continue to be addressed. Through these efforts, families are better prepared to engage in therapeutic services, experience fewer barriers to care, and increase treatment participation, leading to improved emotional well-being for child victims and their caregivers. GRANT: 48720 Short Title: 2026 Endowment ACT - CAC Page 11 of 44 SECTIONS: 2.1.2. Provide a description of one or more NCA standards, or optional NCA standards (commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC), physical abuse, child abuse prevention) that the proposed project will impact. Include any successes and challenges in meeting the nine (9) required NCA Standards for Accreditation. This project supports OTR-CAC in maintaining compliance with the National Children’s Alliance (NCA) Victim Support and Advocacy Standard. The Family Advocate fulfills the required components of this standard through direct involvement with families at all stages of the process. Services include case management, resource assessment, ongoing support, information sharing within the MDT, coordination of victim services, caregiver education, and facilitation of referrals. This project also supports compliance with the NCA Mental Health Standard. NCA accreditation requires consistently available, evidence-based, trauma-focused mental health services for children and caregivers. A component of this standard includes maintaining interagency agreements with qualified community providers. Funding will support continued collaboration with existing mental health partners and development of additional provider relationships to expand access to care. The project also supports implementation of mental health screenings to ensure children and caregivers receive appropriate interventions. Caregiver support groups offered through OTR-CAC meet NCA criteria for supportive services, including addressing child safety, emotional impact of abuse allegations, risk of future abuse, and distress related to the investigative process. The Children’s Advocacy Center of Franklin County achieved Accredited status in 2022 and has successfully maintained compliance with the required Standards for Accreditation. Continued funding for the Family Advocate position is essential to maintaining these standards. 2.1.3. If Endowment Act funding will be used to implement an evidence-based program, discuss how that program will be implemented with fidelity to the model and the type of training, if any, personnel will take to be qualified to implement the program. N/A GRANT: 48720 Short Title: 2026 Endowment ACT - CAC Page 12 of 44 SECTIONS: 2.1.4. Provide the expected impact or outcomes of the project; describe any potential barriers to achieving desired outcomes and how those barriers will be addressed. Families engaged in child abuse investigations often navigate multiple systems simultaneously, including child protective services, law enforcement, prosecution, and mental health providers. This project will strengthen the county’s multidisciplinary response by ensuring a dedicated Family Advocate provides trauma-informed education, case coordination, and facilitated access to evidence-based mental health treatment. By strengthening referral pathways and collaboration with community mental health partners, the project will reduce barriers to care, improve engagement in services, and ensure non-offending caregivers and child victims receive coordinated support throughout the investigative process. We anticipate the following outcomes: Increased number and percentage of child victims referred to trauma-focused, evidence-based treatment. Increased percentage of referred children who attend an initial therapy appointment. Reduced average time between CAC intake and connection to a mental health provider. Increased caregiver understanding of trauma and the investigative process, as measured through satisfaction surveys or structured feedback tools. Increased caregiver participation in support services, including support groups. OTR-CAC faces ongoing barriers related to limited availability of mental health services in the community. Waitlists for therapy are often several months long. While current agreements with four community organizations have strengthened access, those providers also experience capacity challenges. OTR-CAC will continue to seek additional partnerships to help reduce delays in care. Without this funding, OTR-CAC will be unable to sustain the Family Advocate position, as no alternative funding streams are currently available. The loss of this position would significantly reduce the level of support provided to children and families. Additionally, OTR-CAC would be at risk of falling out of compliance with National Children’s Alliance standards related to Victim Support and Advocacy and Mental Health services. GRANT: 48720 Short Title: 2026 Endowment ACT - CAC Page 13 of 44 SECTIONS: 2.1.5. Discuss how collaboration/communication will occur with the local victim service agency. Families often arrive at OTR-CAC with complex needs related to abuse, domestic violence, and concerns for immediate safety. The Family Advocate assesses these needs and connects families to essential resources such as emergency shelter, legal guidance, crisis centers, and protective orders through partners like WIN Victim Services. The Family Advocate maintains close collaboration with affiliated professionals, such as victim witness coordinators in the District Attorney’s office, advocates and mental health professionals at WIN Victim Services, law enforcement entities, and caseworkers at Children and Youth Services. By staying informed about each partner’s role, the Family Advocate prepares families for what to expect and helps reduce uncertainty and anxiety. The Family Advocate also cultivates strong relationships with local mental health and victim service providers who offer trauma specific counseling, maintaining interagency agreements with local providers who prioritize referrals from our center. Through ongoing work with families, the Family Advocate identifies emerging trends relative to local community needs. These insights inform case review discussions and highlight opportunities to strengthen local support systems and processes. 2.2. Non-NCA Member Developing CACs/Satellites Only 2.2.1.

GRANT: 48720 Short Title: 2026 Endowment ACT - CAC Page 16 of 44 SECTIONS: E. Procurement Details 1. Subgrantees shall use their own procurement procedures and regulations, provided that the procurement conforms to applicable federal law and the standards identified in the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR 200.320). At minimum, PCCD grant recipients and subrecipients must follow the procurement standards as written in Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards - 2CFR 200.318 through 200.326. Methods of Procurement Subgrantee must have and use documented procurement procedures, consistent with the standards of 2 CFR 200.320; §200.317, §200.318, and §200.319 for any of the following methods of procurement used for the acquisition of property or services under a federal award. (a) Procurement by micro-purchases. Procurement by micro-purchase is the acquisition of supplies or services, the aggregate dollar amount of which does not exceed the micro-purchase threshold (§200.67Micro-purchase). To the maximum extent practicable, the subgrantee must distribute micro-purchases equitably among qualified suppliers. Micro-purchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive quotations if the subgrantee considers the price to be reasonable, based on research, experience, purchase history or other information and documents it files accordingly. (b) Procurement by small purchase procedures. Small purchase procedures are those relatively simple and informal procurement methods for securing services, supplies, or other property that the aggregate dollar amount, which is higher than the micro-purchase threshold, but does not cost more than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. If small purchase procedures are used, price or rate quotations must be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources. (c) Procurement by sealed bids (formal advertising). Bids are publicly solicited and a firm fixed price contract (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming with all the material terms and conditions of the invitation for bids, is the lowest in price. The sealed bid method is the preferred method for procuring construction, if the conditions in paragraph (c)(1) of this section apply. (1) In order for sealed bidding to be feasible, the following conditions should be present: (i) A complete, adequate, and realistic specification or purchase description is available; (ii) Two or more responsible bidders are willing and able to compete effectively for the business; and (iii) The procurement lends itself to a firm fixed price contract and the selection of the successful bidder can be made principally on the basis of price. (2) If sealed bids are used, the following requirements apply: (i) Bids must be solicited from an adequate number of known suppliers, providing them sufficient response time prior to the date set for opening the bids, for local, and tribal governments, the invitation for bids must be publicly advertised; (ii) The invitation for bids, which will include any specifications and pertinent attachments, must define the items or services in order for the bidder to properly respond; (iii) All bids will be opened at the time and place prescribed in the invitation for bids, and for local and tribal governments, the bids must be opened publicly; (iv) A firm fixed price contract award will be made in writing to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Where specified in bidding documents, factors such as discounts, transportation cost, and life cycle costs must be considered in determining which bid is lowest. Payment discounts will only be used to determine the low bid when prior experience indicates that such discounts are usually taken advantage of; and (v) Any or all bids may be rejected if there is a sound documented reason. (d) Procurement by competitive proposals. The technique of competitive proposals is normally conducted with more than one source submitting an offer, and either a fixed price or cost-reimbursement type contract is awarded. It is generally used when conditions are not appropriate for the use of sealed bids. If this method is used, the following requirements apply: (1) Requests for proposals must be publicized and identify all evaluation factors and their relative importance. Any response to publicized requests for proposals must be considered to the maximum extent practical; (2) Proposals must be solicited from an adequate number of qualified sources; GRANT: 48720 Short Title: 2026 Endowment ACT - CAC Page 17 of 44 SECTIONS: (3) The subgrantee must have a written method for conducting technical evaluations of the proposals received and for selecting recipients; (4) Contracts must be awarded to the responsible firm whose proposal is most advantageous to the program, with price and other factors considered; and (5) The subgrantee may use competitive proposal procedures for qualifications-based procurement of architectural/engineering (A/E) professional services whereby competitors' qualifications are evaluated and the most qualified competitor is selected, subject to negotiation of fair and reasonable compensation. The method, where price is not used as a selection factor, can only be used in procurement of A/E professional services. It cannot be used to purchase other types of services though A/E firms are a potential source to perform the proposed effort. (e) [Reserved] (f) Procurement by noncompetitive proposals. Procurement by noncompetitive proposals is procurement through solicitation of a proposal from only one source and may be used only when one or more of the following circumstances apply: (1) The item is available only from a single source; (2) The public exigency or emergency for the requirement will not permit a delay resulting from competitive solicitation; (3) PCCD expressly authorizes noncompetitive proposals in response to a written request from the applicant; (4) After solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined to be inadequate (5) The acquisition of property or services, the aggregate dollar amount of which does not exceed the micro-purchase threshold. Micro-purchase (2 CFR 200.67) means a purchase of supplies or services using simplified acquisition procedures, the aggregate amount of which does not exceed the micro-purchase threshold. Micro-purchase procedures comprise a subset of a non-Federal entity's small purchase procedures. The non-Federal entity uses such procedures in order to expedite the completion of its lowest-dollar small purchase transactions and minimize the associated administrative burden and cost. The micro-purchase threshold is set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 CFR Subpart 2.1(Definitions). It is $15,000 except as otherwise discussed in Subpart 2.1 of that regulation, but this threshold is periodically adjusted for inflation. Simplified acquisition threshold (2 CFR200.88) means the dollar amount below which a non-Federal entity may purchase property or services using small purchase methods. Non-Federal entities adopt small purchase procedures in order to expedite the purchase of items costing less than the simplified acquisition threshold. The simplified acquisition threshold is set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 CFR Subpart 2.1 (Definitions) and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1908. As of the publication of this manual, the simplified acquisition threshold is $350,000, but this threshold is periodically adjusted for inflation. Formal Procurement methods. When the value of the procurement for property or services under a federal financial assistance award exceeds the SAT, or a lower threshhold established by a non-federal entity, formal procurement methods are required. Formal procurement methods require following documented procedures,. Formal procurement methods also require public advertising, unless a non-competitive procurement can be used in accordance with §200.319. A proposed formal advertised or competitive negotiated procurement for which only one bid or proposal is received is deemed to be a noncompetitive procurement. Does this application include any procurements by noncompetitive proposal? No 2. If you answered "No" to question 1 above, the applicant agency must keep documentation on file to support and verify the competitive method of procurement.

Yes GRANT: 48720 Short Title: 2026 Endowment ACT - CAC Page 33 of 44 SECTIONS: G. Fiscal Accountability 1. Subgrantee Accountability The following procedures have been implemented across all of PCCD's funding streams to ensure fiscal accountability of PCCD grant funds. Financial Back-up: PCCD will periodically verify that grantee expenditures are consistent with approved budget categories, are eligible for reimbursement and that grantees are maintaining supporting documentation. PCCD has implemented a process where grantees are notified that they are required to submit the financial documentation to support the expenditures reported for some or all of the categories that are included in their Egrants fiscal report. Grantees are only required to submit this documentation when they are specifically notified by PCCD. Egrants users have the ability to attach documents to fiscal reports. Accounting System Documentation: PCCD requires that all grantees maintain an accounting system which can identify all PCCD revenue and expenditures for each PCCD grant separately from all other revenue and expenditure sources. All financial transactions should be able to provide a clear audit trail. Programmatic Back-up: PCCD will periodically verify that data submitted by grantees in their program reports is accurate. PCCD will select one or more performance measures/data categories each reporting period and require grantees to submit documentation to support what was reported on their Egrants program report or other reporting tool. Subgrantee Payment: All subgrantees are required, at a minimum, to submit quarterly fiscal reports. PCCD will only make payments to reimburse actual expenditures reported on the fiscal reports. If an agency is experiencing cash flow problems, they may submit fiscal reports monthly and PCCD will reimburse reported expenditures. Line Item Detail: PCCD's fiscal report allows grantees to include line item expenditure detail instead of just the overall budget category expenditures. Grantees are required to provide line item expenditure detail consistent with the line items included in their approved budget. On-site monitoring: PCCD completes on-site monitoring of grants across all funding streams (state and federally funded projects). Grantee risk classification: PCCD utilizes a risk classification system to identify and focus the use of agency resources on those agencies that may be most in need of additional assistance. 1.1. Does the applicant acknowledge that they have read, understand and will abide by PCCD's fiscal accountability procedures? Yes 2. Financial Management The following questions pertain to the applicant organization's accounting and financial management systems. 2.1.

Signature on the timesheets is affirmation that the report is an accurate accounting of the actual time the employee spent on the project. Must be prepared at least monthly to correspond to one or more pay periods Volunteer time and personnel costs being used as match must be accounted for in the same manner as personnel being charged to the grant Minimum standard for employees working solely on a single activity or cost objective: Must be an after-the-fact certification that the employee worked 100 percent of their time on activities eligible for reimbursement under the grant project Must be prepared no less frequently than every six months Must be signed by the employee and supervisory official having first-hand knowledge of the work performed GRANT: 48720 Short Title: 2026 Endowment ACT - CAC Page 35 of 44 SECTIONS: Applies to full-time and part-time employee Recommended Best practices: Employees record time on a daily basis Project codes/names are provided to the employee in advance * The above standards are based on the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR 200) and the Office of Justice Programs Financial Guide. ** Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) may follow their own established policies for documenting personnel expenses provided that the IHE's policies are in compliance with the Standards for Documentation of Personnel Expenses referred to at 2 CFR 200.430.
