Safe and Clean: FAQ
Do I have to submit a receipt to receive a check from Keep Cincinnati Beautiful?Yes, in order to receive a check from KCB, you must submit detailed receipts of all purchases. If you are hiring someone to do labor, please submit the original invoice from that transaction (after their work on the project is done).
Do my volunteers have to be from the neighborhood where the project is occurring?
No, volunteers can be from any neighborhood near or far as long as they are in fact volunteers and are unpaid.
Does my application have to be in on the deadline or is there a little leeway?
Out of respect for all those who hustle to get their applications in before the deadline, if your application is not in by 5 PM on the due date, it will be entered into the next round of applications and will be considered then.
I want to do a project over a longer period of time than a year. Can I spread out the money over two or more years?
The money from Safe and Clean grants is to be used for one-time costs during the span of one year only. If all of the money is not spent during that year, the money is returned back into the Safe and Clean fund. A community may, however, apply for additional grants as long as each project has a separate end goal or purpose.
I want to modify my project after the contract is signed. Can I do that?
Once the contract is signed, a grantee may not change the project’s plan unless a meeting has been scheduled with Keep Cincinnati Beautiful and the grantee has signed a modified contract with a representative from KCB. Reasons for a modification must be sited specifically in a proposal for modification that can either be mailed, emailed or faxed to our office.
