The IRS is allowing employees to forgo their leave in exchange for employer cash payments made before 1/1/07 to benefit  the Hurricane Katrina victims.

My question - Our research assistants are primarily grant funded, and I know that you are not permitted to charge contributions to grants, would this be considered a contribution? Would this be considered a legitimate grant expense or would this be considered a donation?

Thanks for your help.

Marie
