For Grant Recipients
Congratulations on receiving a grant from the Community Foundation! We are delighted to help support your organization’s work. Thank you for your interest in OICF.
Reporting Requirements
When a representative from your group accepted your grant check, he or she agreed to report back to OICF when the project was completed, and received a reporting form. Reports (final or interim, if necessary) for 2008 grants were due February 1, 2009. Reports for 2009 grants will be due on or about February 1, 2010. Reports must include invoices and receipts for expended funds. Can’t find the reporting form?
Multi-year grantees should file an interim report. Youth grant recipients should also file a brief report about what they did with the youth grant funds.
Partners in Philanthropy Grants
If you received funding from one of our named Partners in Philanthropy, please send them a personal thank you for helping you. If appropriate, please invite the Partner(s) to an event connected with the grant (for example, a celebratory dinner, a performance, a class, or an athletic practice or contest). Keep them informed about your project. After all, they cared enough to fund it! You can send the Partner(s) a copy of your grant report, or OICF can do this for you.
A Change of Plans?
Grants are provided by OICF for the specific purposes stated in each approved grant application. Each project is weighed against all other proposals received that year. If your organization’s project changes, or you do not require all of the funds awarded, you must contact the Grants Committee chair to discuss your situation. In most cases, unused funds must be returned to OICF. A simple scheduling delay can usually be accommodated.
