Community Impact Grant Program Reports

For Community Impact Grants, a program report must be submitted every quarter services are provided using grant funding from UWSN.

Click here to access the general quarterly report template.

  • Future grant disbursements are conditional on the submission of quarterly reports. These reports include information on program status, program staffing, program outputs, program outcomes, client stories and photos, volunteer opportunities, media recognition, implementation challenges, and lessons learned from implementation.
  • Please submit completed quarterly reports to CommDev1@uwsn.org

In 2022-2023, quarterly reports are due on:

  • October 11, 2022
  • January 11, 2023
  • April 11, 2023
  • July 11, 2023

UWSN may also request your participation in bi-annual client-level impact, feedback, and outcome surveys.

When possible, please provide stories in your quarterly reports that include client photos and testimonials of how your support transformed lives, what kind of support was provided, and the success that clients are experiencing.

Do you need to request a change to your grant award budget or project scope? Use the Project Scope Change Request form.

Were you awarded funding from UWSN? Please remember to complete the Community Impact Grant Project Planning Survey.
