Initiative grant are asked to complete a final Grant
Report no later than one year after
receiving their grant check. We rely on your candid
responses to help us assess the effectiveness of our grantmaking
program. Completing this report as a group at a regular meeting would
help gather a broad perspective from your organization.
Please type your response, or re-enter our format on a computer for
printing.
Visit the Boston Grants Initiative Grant Guidelines page for
details about our grantmaking program, who is eligible to apply,
projects we fund, deadlines, etc.
