Vendor Guidance for ANR Online - Grants & Contracts
The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) administers various types of pass through agreements that can be in the form of a grant, contract or MOU/MOA. Invoicing from these agreements will now be handled through an ANR Online form, titled “Grants & Contracts Invoices” (the Form). The guidance below will assist vendors who have a grant or contract with DEC on how to properly use ANR Online for agreement payment. For any questions, please contact David Pasco at David.Pasco@vermont.gov
Please use the Grant and Contract Invoicing form to begin submitting for payment.
