Grant Follow Up

Congratulations on receiving a grant from C3F! By signing the grant check, you agreed to several conditions, including providing a public announcement of the grant award, and completing some kind of grant follow up reporting.

All grantees will need to complete at least one short written summary paragraph of their grant in the online grants system, but there are three options for grant follow up. Grant follow up options include:

  • a site visit with C3F staff,
  • a phone or Zoom call with C3F staff, or
  • a full 5-6 question written report to be completed in the online grants system.

We recognize that all grant work isn’t the same and that some grant work may be more appropriate for site visits than others. Grantees received a link in their grant award letter to notify C3F staff of their preference for grant follow up. If you need the link resent or have questions about how to choose a follow up option, contact Ashley Cousens or Megan Havrilla DeHoog.

A follow up report must be completed and returned by the end of the grant period, or when the grant work has been completed, whichever comes first. The grantee is responsible for completing the report form using the online grant software. Log in using your email address and password that you used when you submitted your grant request. If you forgot your password, you can reset it on the login screen.
