Annual & Final Reports

All FFAR funded Grantees are required to submit Annual Progress Reports to include a programmatic and financial report. Applicable disbursements will be delayed if the requirements are not received by the due date.

Typically, all Progress Report requirements must be submitted online through FFAR’s Grant Management System. FFAR is undergoing a system transition and access to our current Grant Management System will not be available after February 1, 2022. Any reports not submitted by that date should use the templates provided below for the appropriate report and emailed to the FFAR Grants Team at grants@foundationfar.org. We anticipate the new Grant Management System will be available by mid-spring 2022 and all grantees will receive instructions on how to access the new platform.

Should any aspect of the grant change, including the project’s scope, timeline, budget or personnel, grantees must notify us using the relevant Changes & Modifications Form.
