Reimbursement Receipts
Receipts must include the date, the name of the business or service provider, the product or service provided, an itemized breakdown of costs, and the total amount due. For services, the student’s name must also be listed on the receipt. Handwritten receipts will not be accepted. If receipts list only item categories (e.g., from stores like Hobby Lobby) rather than specific products, photos of the purchased items with visible prices must be provided. Please be sure to check if they’re an approved vendor
prior to submitting any reimbursement or purchase requests.
Venmo Payments
Venmo payments are an acceptable payment method to an
approved vendor. Please note that any Venmo payment must be accompanied with the corresponding invoice or receipt or they will be denied. Providing us this information helps us maintain clear and accurate records, so we appreciate your help on this!
Context & Why it’s Important
Please include the educational context in reimbursement and purchase requests, it’s helpful for the CFEF team as it:
Ensures Compliance: It helps verify that the purchases or services align with the program’s guidelines and educational objectives.
Facilitates Accountability: Clear documentation demonstrates that funds are being used appropriately for the intended educational purpose.
Streamlines Approvals: Providing context allows for faster review and approval, reducing the need for follow-up or clarification.
Supports Transparency: It creates a transparent record that can be referenced in audits or reviews.
Prioritizes Student Needs: Associating the request with a particular educational goal enhances its relevance and demonstrates its importance.
