Recipients of a Boston Grants 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.


You may download the final report form in:
Acrobat (PDF) format,
Microsoft Word, or
Rich Text Format (RTF).
