Defining Internal or Non-Grant Funding Source (GM16.1)

Use this form to create and maintain non-grant funding. Non-grant funds are local funds, specifically, tax funds or appropriations used to fund a project. Non-Grant Funds are internal funds (related to a GL Company, Accounting Unit and Account). Non-Grant Funds do not have a sponsor nor can you bill or request reimbursement for non-grant funds. A non-grant fund may fund a single project or may fund multiple projects.
