Periodic Updates
We ask each grantee for 1 brief Update midway through the grant year. This can simply tell us what’s happening with your project and organization. (For example, answer “What?” “So what?’ “Now what?”) The updates are submitted online through the grants system under your current grant Follow Ups.
- Environmental Justice update: Due October 1
- Education and Social Justice update: Due February 1
Annual Reports
- Environmental Justice Annual Report: Due April 1
- Education and Social Justice Annual Report: Due August 1
The Annual Report (for 1st and 2nd year grants) and the Final Report (for 3rd year grants) is due about 10 1/2 months after funding, which enables our board to consider potential renewal/continuation of funding at the end of the grant year.
The Annual/Final Report should address how well you accomplished what you undertook. It should correspond to the evaluation scheme you proposed in your application and include outcomes as well as outputs. Especially important are any surprises – negative as well as positive – that you encountered, and the actionable learning that you can take away from these.
We require a financial accounting with narrative to accompany the annual report for all grants. You may use your own format for this and there is an upload link in the application. Our Annual/Final Reports are online in our Grant Application system in Follow Ups.
We also welcome news about your notable achievements and/or undertakings at any time. We enjoy seeing any photos, manuals, workbooks, CDs, or other media you produce.
