What are the reporting requirements from the grantees?

Grantees are required to submit an interim report during the course of a project and a report of project accomplishments at the conclusion of the grant. The due date for the interim report is listed on the grant agreement. The final performance report is due within sixty days after the end of the grant period. Interim performance reports serve as a measure of progress achieved on a project and help to identify problems regarding the program or the administration that need to be resolved. Final performance reports become a permanent record of project accomplishments. Read more on the formats of the reports on Our Grantmaking Policies.
