Grantee Requirements
As a recipient of a grant from the Fairfield County Community Foundation, your nonprofit is required to follow the terms of the grant agreement, including reporting and publicity requirements.
Reporting Requirements
Recipients of competitive grants must submit both an interim report and a final report during the lifecycle of the grant. Grants of $10,000 or less only require a final report.
Download our Standard Report Form for grants up to $20,000.
Download our Investor Framework Form for grants over $20,000.
Publicity Requirements
When you have received a grant, you should notify the media and the public. This gives increased public exposure to your organization, your project and the issues you seek to address.
As part of the grant agreement, we request you acknowledge the Foundation in all media communications, public announcements (such as news releases) and printed materials (such as agency newsletters and annual reports) pertinent to the funded project. The credit line “Made possible [in part] by the Fairfield County Community Foundation” may be appropriate for your publications.
In addition, the Foundation requires a draft of a formal news release announcing the grant and describing the organization and funded project in detail. A list of the publications to which you will submit the news release should also be included along with the proposed news release.
Please email this draft news release to your designated program staff.
In addition, copies of all acknowledgments and press clippings should be sent to the Foundation for inclusion in our press book. This media book is distributed to Foundation donors and board members.
Please mail or email all published materials to:
