Final  Report (12 months) for General Support Grant or Project Grant

Please limit final reports to five pages, addressing the following questions.  Use a separate section heading for each of the questions.  Please note that the final report is to be signed by an officer of the organization’s governing body.

• What was your most significant achievement or impact, and why?

• Were all three of your original goals accomplished as well as you had hoped?  Why or why not? 

• Did your program represent the most effective approach to tackling the issue?  With the benefit of hindsight, as you continue your work what might you consider doing differently next time?

• What were your failures or disappointments?  What did you learn from them?

• Did you encounter any unexpected difficulties?  If the project was unable to accomplish parts of its agenda, what were the barriers to doing so?

• What partnerships or collaborations were created or have you entered into in the past year as a result of  this grant?  Will these collaborations continue?

• Are you planning to continue the project or program and why?  How will you fund it?

• Financial information:

  • An accounting of the total project and organization expenditures with an explanation if this account differs from the original budget.

  • What percentage of the project or organizational budget (if general support grant) was actually raised, and what were the major funding sources for it?  If there was a significant shortfall, what budget or program adjustments were made?

  • A year end statement (audited if possible) of all income and expenses at the close of the fiscal year for your organization.
