Final and Interim Report Guidelines

A final report is required for all organizations that receive a grant. If the program that is being funded is not completed by January 1 of the grant year, an interim report is also required. Final reports are due after the program has been completed; interim reports are due on the same date that new proposals are due – for 2008 that will be January 15.

Internship program requirements are at the bottom of the page.

The report itself should be one page in length. The budget breakdown can be submitted as a separate page.

When composing your report, please use the following guidelines. (For interim reports, cover only as much as is relevant to that point. Then discuss what is known about the remainder of the program.)

1. Identify the program and how much funding was received. Describe the program and
   its components, and specify how the Academy funds were used.
   
   
2. Was the program well received? What effect(s) did it have on the participants? How
   many people participated or attended?
   
   
3. How did the grant impact the program?
   
   
4. Are there any improvements you’d like to make to the program?
   
   
5. Describe how the Academy was acknowledged
   
   
6. Include a final budget breakdown for the program. (separate page)
   
   
7. Include copies of any program literature and other materials in which the Academy’s
   logo or “special support” statement appear.

For returning internship programs:

Your report and request for continued funding will remain one and the same. You will continue to have two pages to describe your program, report on the previous year’s funding and ask that the funding continue. The proposal itself can be very brief, essentially letting the Academy know that you wish to continue the program and requesting a grant amount. Be sure to include brief reports from both the interns and, if possible, the industry professionals who are overseeing their work. An application form is also necessary.
