What kind of a report do I need to submit if I’ve received funding in the past?

Organizations that have received a grant from our Community Grants Program in the past must include a report on their most recent Community Grants Program grant.  Use the Common Grant Report (CGR), and be sure to add a separate section with detailed responses to any asterisked items in The Denver Foundation’s most recent rationale or contract.  If you’ve already turned in your grant report, please be sure to include a copy of that report with your new application.

If, for some reason, you are unable to submit a final report with your next application, you may submit an interim report, thought it, too, must include detailed responses to any asterisked items in the grant rationale or contract.  If you have any questions, please contact Bill Inama, our Associate Grants Manager, at 720-974-2600.

What happens if I submit a proposal and don’t get a site visit?

During 2012, our staff will spend most of their time gathering feedback from the community and planning for 2013.  Therefore, we will be doing fewer formal site visits than in the past.  Many submitted proposals, especially from organizations which our staff have visited recently, will be thoroughly reviewed by staff and receive a phone call with questions, but won’t have a formal site visit.  This doesn’t mean that your proposal is weaker than it may have been in the past, or that it’s not being reviewed.
