Current Grantees

We value our relationship with grantees and the tremendous work they do. We seek to build trust, communicate clearly, and listen and learn continuously from our partners to ensure we fulfill our mission.

Ongoing Communication

Please notify us if:

  • Your tax-exempt status has changed

  • You would like to reallocate funds within your approved grant budget

  • You have unused funds at the end of your grant period (the time between payment of your grant and your reporting deadline)

Reporting

Grant reports are shared with our Trustees and are an integral part of our giving program. Annual reports and a final report are due according to the dates in your grant letter. We will not consider a new request until we receive the final report for a previously awarded grant.

We prefer reports that are concise, with a narrative no more than 5 pages long. In general, a report should include:

  • An update on your organization’s programs, operations and financial position

  • An update on the funded work, including any changes in scope, budget or timeline

  • Progress made toward the goals outlined in your grant request, and any lessons learned that will help to sustain or improve your work

  • Your appraisal of the impact of the funded work

  • A summary accounting of grant expenditures and other funds raised, including an updated donor list

Please refer to your original grant letter for specific reporting requirements. Submit your report using our online grant portal by clicking “Submit Requirements” below. If you have questions about reporting, please contact Jenny Zhang Morgan. If you need technical assistance with our portal, please contact Emily Patteson.

Grant Publicity

The Foundation does not require anonymity, but we do not seek publicity for our grantmaking. Our intention is for grantees to receive the credit and attention due them for their work.

Grantees are free to identify the Foundation’s support within your organization and in your communications with other prospective donors. Please consult the appropriate program officer regarding any media interviews, press releases or publications concerning specific grants.
