Once the grant has been approved, the funder will be interested in receiving feedback on your performance, progress, outcomes and budget management.
The table linked below reflects an overview (not exhaustive) of the kinds of reports required for grants from various entities. Additionally, there are links to a detailed overview of what each section of the report should include, how often the reports should be developed, and how often they are due.
Based on the identified funders from Week 1, provide an overview of the reporting requirements and assess what is required to meet these requirements. How are these requirements different and similar to the information provided in the table below? Determine if a cover letter or email is required to accompany the submission of the reports. Finally, what kind of supporting documentation would you include in the appendix or attachment section?
