What the funder asks grantees to report

Reporting

A report on the activities carried out is required once the project is completed, and a progress report goes with any new application to continue it.

Once your Community Grant project has been completed, a report is required which details the activities that were conducted. 

From the builders of this site: Restoration Scope makes software for reporting to funders like this one.
