Due Date:  As stated in the contract

Progress and financial reports are required for all BWF grants.  These reports let us know how your pilot project worked and help us understand how we might make our programs better.  Our advisory committees, Board of Directors, and staff rely on timely reports.  Late reports set back our annual work cycle and are a considerable inconvenience.

The program officer is happy to talk with you if you have concerns about the process, or if you would like insight into how to write about elements of your project that may have gone differently than planned.

BWF has provided Progress Report Guidelines to assist in the preparation and submission of Progress Reports. Institutions must provide a financial report.  Both reports must be submitted by the due date on forms that will be provided and according to the instructions below.  All PDF on-line forms and instructions referenced on this page can be accessed below. Failure to submit progress or financial reports in a timely fashion will result in deferment of payments and/or termination of funding.

Sections of the Progress Report
