Grant recipients are required to submit a final report that describes
the funded activities and the progress made toward reaching program goals.
Any changes in the program's implementation as described in the original
proposal should be fully discussed.
The report should include a narrative description of the program, how staff was involved in carrying out the program activities, and the impact it had on program participants. The report should also include a financial statement that compares the original program budget to actual expenses and income. Any significant variances should be explained.
Final narrative and financial reports must be received and approved by the Arts Council before any subsequent proposals will be reviewed. The final report must be received separate and prior to an organization submitting a new grant request. Grant recipients are encourage to provide reports as expeditiously as possible once a funded project has been completed. But in all cases, the report must be received prior to an organization submitting a new grant request. These reports assist the Council in gaining a better understanding the organizations we fund and inform our future grant making. We hope that these reports will provide an opportunity for grantees to reflect on their work and its impact on the community.
Although it is not required, we encourage you to use the Chicago Area Grant Report designed by the Donors Forum.
