We appreciate staying connected to you during the course of your grant and hearing about events, stories and activities associated with your work; we recommend sending information to your Program Officer electronically. The Foundation may reach out to you to source photos, videos and content to spotlight and promote your work via our communications platforms. Lastly, we know things can change and shift during the course of a grant. If there are significant changes in the goals, budget or execution of your grant, please reach out to your Program Officer as soon as you can to discuss next steps.
We collect a majority of our reports through our Grant Portal approximately 13 months after grant approval. If you would like to know more about your deadline or the process for submission, you can refer to your grant agreement, log-in to our Grant Portal or contact us.
If your grant is ending soon and there are funds remaining there may be an option to extend the grant timeframe. Download the extension request here, complete the document, and e-mail it to your Program Officer. Extension requests will be approved via e-mail with a PDF letter stating the extension timeframe and a new report deadline. For a two-week or less extension request, please send an e-mail to your Program Officer with the expected submission date. Please note this short extension may not change the deadline in our online system.
