Progress Report Guidelines
The Joseph Drown Foundation is pleased to have made a grant to your organization and looks forward to receiving a summary of your progress. We have report guidelines for two types of grants: Operating Support and Program Support. Please limit your report to four pages or less and include the answers to the questions below in your report as well as any additional information that would be essential to report your progress.
Progress reports are due at the same deadlines as proposals: January 15th, April 15th, July 15th and October 15th. If you are eligible, a new application can be submitted at the same time as the report.
Please submit the report via our online portal. You must use the same log in information you used to submit the original application. Once you are logged in, go under the In Progress tab. There you will see a line item that says "Progress Report" in the Phase column. Click on View and that will take you to the report page where you can upload the document.
Should you have any questions, please contact Grants Program and Office Assistant, Anamaria Alarcón at anamaria@jdrown.org.
