The Community Foundation uses final reports to understand how non-profits have used grants from the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation and the impact the programs have had on our community.  We also use the reports to communicate back to our board members, donors and grants teams.  

Final Report Deadline
Final reports are due within one year of the grant or after the completion of the funded program, whichever is first. Grant evaluators are notified when final reports are not completed by previous grantees. An organization's failure to return final reports may be taken into consideration during future funding evaluations.

Final Report Guidelines

If your organization has received a grant from us, please provide us with the following information in accordance with our Grant Agreement:

• Summarize activities, accomplishments and any obstacles associated with the grant implementation and grant program.
• What difference did this project and grant make and how do you know?  Include information about participant satisfaction if appropriate.
• Provide an example, story or quote that illustrates what you consider to be the most significant change in people’s lives as a result of the project.
• Report specific data about the number of people who participated in or were affected by this program; what the effects have been from the program’s implementation on the individuals involved, your organization, and the community.
• How has the grant been leveraged to attain additional support?  Has this grant been instrumental in attracting additional support in the form of people, money, goods, services or publicity?  If so, describe.
• Make an accounting of how the funds were expended—actual income and expenses for the program.  Provide specific expenditure items and amounts, as well as other funding sources.
• Provide copies of any marketing materials or media coverage.
• Send pictures of the project in action (if applicable and appropriate) for inclusion in our promotional materials. Note that we would welcome electronic submission of these materials.

Feel free to email the report and pictures, if applicable, to martha@ggbcf.org.   Thank you for your cooperation!
