Travelers should adhere to the following guidelines to stay In-Policy. 
 

	
 
* Flights.  
 
   * Before you buy tickets, save a screenshot of a flight search that
 
     shows the least expensive fare available from multiple airlines for
 
     the dates you need to travel.
 
   * Book at least 14 days in advance.
 
   * Fares within $100 of that lowest fare you found are In-Policy, even if
 
     you book on a different site or for different dates.
 
   * Fares over $750 domestically or $1,500 internationally require
 
     Conservancy's pre-approval.
 

	
 
* Hotels. 
 
	* Hotel fares < GSA rates are In-Policy.  Visit 
 
          http://www.gsa.gov/perdiem to determine the rate for your 
 
	  destination.
 
        * Be sure the receipt from your hotel includes the dates of your
 
          stay, not just a total.

== Reimbursement Procedure
 

	
 
Note that reimbursements are only processed once per week.  While we usually
 
can turn around reimbursements in about two weeks' time, please be advised
 
that Conservancy officially does reimbursements on a NET-30 basis, starting
 
from the date that complete materials are received.  If this is an issue,
 
Conservancy is available to prepurchase expensive items like airline tickets
 
on your behalf, so that you don't need to be reimbursed.
 

	
 
If you seek to be reimbursed for Conservancy Project expenses, please send
 
the following, in a self contained email (with attachments as necessary),
 
cc'ing your Project Leadership Committee address (PROJECT@sfconservancy.org)
 
for Project approval:
 

	
 
  * a brief paragraph explaining what was accomplished for the project
 
    during your travel and/or with the funds being reimbursed.  This can
 
    be informal; it's just for our records to confirm the travel advanced
 
    the not-for-profit mission of both Conservancy and the project.
 

	
 
  * A brief report listing the items to be reimbursed.
 

	
 
  * Full receipt(s) for everything, unless the travel policy does not
 
    require receipts (e.g., for per diem expenses).
