ACT completed the grant period under budget due to two incomplete grant activities directly tied to the website transition project . The “ Weekend Experience Giveaway ” was budgeted at $ 3,450 ($ 3,000 MOT Funds , $ 450 matching funds ) was not completed because a webpage to accept entries could not be completed in time . The “ ATV Mapping ” was budgeted at $ 24,071 ($ 22,071 MOT Funds , $ 2,000 matching funds ) was reallocated to the website project and no matching funds were captured .
