Dear Grant Recipients,
Please submit this mandatory final report by June 30, 2026. If you still have unused funds, please use them as soon as possible. If there has been a change in the grant request or if you have any questions regarding your grant, please contact me at katie@santabarbaraeducation.org as soon as possible. If you submitted receipts for reimbursement, the check can take up to 14 business days to process. Feel free to send a follow-up email if it has been longer than 14 days as sometimes checks get lost in the mail or an email gets buried.
Kind Regards,
Katie Szopa
