-
Using the NEW Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Quarterly Report Template
This training is for RLF Grant recipients and project officers. Consultants for grant recipients may attend as well. Team ACRES will walk through the newly revamped RLF Quarterly Report Template, which is expected to be available in ACRES by the end of June. This template can be used for submitting quarterly performance reports for RLFs that are operating under an open cooperative agreement (not a closeout agreement).
