What are the grant reporting guidelines?

The Foundation grantees are required to submit progress reports on the status of grants and their transformational efforts within the community. For multiyear grants, some periodic reporting is necessary before subsequent year grant is awarded. All required reporting is outlined in the grant agreements.

If you have received a grant from the Foundation, please refer to your award letter to see what is required. We rely on our community partners’ candor in the practices that resulted in not only success, but also improvements that may be explored in the future. Reports should include your anticipated outcomes as well as the short-term and long-term results.

Grantees can complete reports through the foundation's online grant portal. For information about grant reporting email our Program Officer Greg Keener at greg@shallowfordfoundation.org.
