Grants Purchasing Card

Using the Purchasing Card for Grant Purchases

Use of the Grants Purchasing Card is done through the Office of Grants Administration, Grants Administration Manager. You should not use your departmental purchasing card for any grant purchases. Any individual, who desires a Grants Purchasing Card, should reach out to the Grants Administration Manager at MooreK@ccsu.edu. All users of the Grants Purchasing Card must attend a Grants Purchasing Card training session. 

The Grants Purchasing Card may be utilized for telephone, Internet and mail grant purchases; however, the use of the card for a grant or contract requires some forethought. Careful judgment must be exercised before you make a purchase with the card against grants. You must clearly understand what constitutes an allowable charge to your particular program.
