What the funder asks grantees to report

Reporting

Single-year grants need a final report on completion; multi-year grants need annual interim reports and a final report, including an evaluation of effectiveness, lessons learned and an updated project budget.

Single-year funding initiatives - a final report is due upon completion of the grant period. Multi-year funding initiatives - interim reports are due annually with a final report due upon completion of the grant period.
