GRANT HOLDERS FAQs

We have three types of reports which apply to all funding programmes, regardless of size and duration of grant:

• Progress report 
• End of year report (multi-year grants only)
• Final report 

When your reports are due, we will send you a link to the relevant form a month in advance so don't worry about having to figure out which form you need to use. 

• Progress report: this is a very quick touchpoint six months after the start of your project. If your project is on track, just tick the box to let us know that that's the case and there is no need for you to provide any further information. If you are experiencing delays or difficulties with your project delivery, just let us know by ticking the appropriate box and we will contact you to discuss any flexibility you might need. 

• End of year report (multi-year projects only): if you hold a multi-year grant, we ask you for a light touch summary of how things are progressing compared to your project's intended outcomes. Typically, this is required 12 months after the start of your project.

• Final report: this is when we ask you to reflect on your project's overall achievements. For grants in these funding programmes, we ask you to report at the end of your grant period (typically 12 months after the start of your project if your grant was for only one year). 

During your grant: every six months we will send you a reminder and a link to the relevant form for you to complete.

At the end of your grant: after the end of your project, we will send you a reminder and a link to the relevant form for you to complete. We can be flexible if you need extra time. 

Through our online platform. We will send you a link in the reminder email.  

If you need to finish the form at another time, you can request a Save and Resume unique link which is valid for 30 days for you to return to your online form whenever you are ready to finish filling it in. 

We publish guidance to each reporting form on our Guidance for Applicants page. 

Reporting is a condition of our funding. We appreciate that a project may run into difficulties, but we expect you to proactively contact us and let us know at the earliest opportunity. We will always work with you to find a workable solution, so do not hesitate to keep in touch.

If you do not submit progress reports, and do not keep in touch with us during your grant, we reserve the right to ask you to return your grant.
