Core Grant Reporting Guidelines

Grant Reporting Guidance for Core Grantees

Core Grantees are selected by invitation from the NWFE Board of Trustees. Due dates for your organization’s reports will be communicated via email.

Interim reports 

A NWFE Board member will reach out to prompt interim reporting. It will be expected during the 3rd quarter of each calendar year.  You will have two options for how to check-in with the Board: 

  1. Phone/zoom call (20-30 mins) with a Board member (preferred)
  2. Short written summary/status of your work (approximately 1 page)

The reporting questions are the same for both options:

  • How is the work progressing? What have you accomplished since the last report? 
  • What issues or concerns are you facing with the work?
  • Tell us about your progress towards your goals. Are you on track for your goals? Do your goals still seem like the right goals with the right timeline? 

Final Reports
(for 2-year bridge grants and all 3-year Core grants awarded 2026 and onward)

Due by October 15th in the last year of your grant. Final report should include:

  • Written summary of 2-3 pages responding to three prompts:
    • Summarize the work you did and your accomplishments during the grant period.
    • How and why has your work changed from what was proposed? Have your anticipated outcomes changed as a result
    • As you look to the future, what challenges do you face (any internal organizational challenges as well as external challenges)?
    • What were the lessons you learned during this grant time period?
  • A narrative financial report indicating where the funds were spent and how those funds fit into the larger organizational budget to give us context. Please include what other sources of funding you used on this project.
