How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)
Many of the competitive grants awarded by the foundation require a progress report during the grant period and/or a final report at the end of the grant period. progress reports are generally expected for multi-year commitments as a way to assess the work undertaken toward achieving original objectives. the final report process has three primary objectives: assessment of what's been learned, impact of support on the core mission, and demonstration of accountability. when reviewing a grant application from an organization that has received prior funding, grants committee members and foundation staff often consider the content of prior reports. the foundation will not consider applications from organizations that have overdue reports. some of the grants awarded through non-competitive processes will also follow this final report process if suggested by the donor; otherwise, we rely on the donor's advice regarding the use of granted funds and decisions to continue to fund an organization in the future.
