Grant Reports

Grant reports offer the opportunity to learn from grantees’ successes and challenges and provide valuable context to refine Foundation grantmaking.

We require all grantees to submit annual progress reports.  Grantees must report on the agreed upon Project Deliverables received after the grant award notification.

The first report due date can be found in the grant award letter.  The full reporting schedule for the duration of the grant is included in the Project Deliverables documents.  Depending on the project the grant reporting schedule may differ from the table below.  Please contact the Foundation with any questions.
