				  Junction
Central Vermont, in Johnson (Lamoille County) and Barre

Grant Period:
Because appropriations of the Vermont State Legislature are

				  this 12 month time.
Allocation:
The formula used to allot the General Fund money is based on
				  total number of volunteers, as of December of the previous year. * Dividing the
				  total allotment by the number of volunteers gives an allowance per
				  volunteer.
Allowable Costs:
Funds appropriated shall be used by local RSVP programs to
				  meet direct costs by supporting volunteers, such as for insurance, travel and
				  meals.
Unallowed Costs:
Funds may not be used to pay compensation to
				  volunteers.
Application:
Each RSVP program shall submit an application for the funds
				  on forms supplied by VOA. The application will include a statement as to what
				  additional activities are planned because of these funds. One half of these
				  funds shall be requested at that time. The second half of the payment shall be
				  requested by January 15.
* Official total number of volunteers, as reported to
				  ACTION.
Reporting:
- Quarterly each RSVP program will send VOA copies of
				  financial and program reports sent to ACTION.
- By January 15 each RSVP program shall send to VOA a
				  statement of expenditure of the state funds received. Each report shall include
				  a narrative identifying what activities these funds have made possible, what
				  special benefits this funding has brought to the programs.
- All sumbitted documents must be signed by the RSVP program
				  director.
- No later than July 20 each RSVP program will send a summary
				  statement both financial and programmatic to VOA with copies to appropriate
				  agencies.

				  program, one shortly after July 16. Initial payment will be made upon the

				  director.
- The second and final payment shall be made upon receipt of
				  the January 15 report and submission of a letter of request for these funds
				  signed by the director
