Final Narrative and Expenditure Reports - Hablamos Juntos

Q. Can we submit the reports electronically
You must submit hardcopy Reports to the Foundation. The Foundation receives two
printed copies of the Final Narrative Report and two printed copies of the Financial
Expenditure Report.
You must submit hardcopy Reports to the NPO and electronic versions. Be sure that you
send the NPO one printed copy of the Final Narrative Report, one printed copy of the
Financial Expenditure Report, one electronic copy of the Final Narrative Report, and one
electronic copy of the Financial Expenditure Report. Electronic submissions must be
emailed to the NPO at the following email address: info@hablamosjuntos.org
Q. When are the Final Narrative Report and Financial Expenditure Report due
Both reports are due by October 31, 2003. We encourage our grantees to submit them
earlier to ensure that any changes or revisions that need to be made can occur before the
October 31 due date.
Q. How long after the reports have been submitted can grantees expect any final
payment that may be due
Grantees should allow up to four weeks for receipt of final payment from the Foundation.
This is contingent on acceptance of your final narrative and expenditure reports.
Q. What does the Final Narrative Report consist of
This report consists of two distinct parts: a narrative and a bibliography or catalogue of
materials developed by the grantee that has been disseminated nationally.
The Final Narrative Report is a substantive record of the activities conducted by each
grantee and how goals set forth for your planning process have been met. This is achieved
by responding to seven key questions (see p. 11-16 of the RWJF Reporting Instructions)
such as describing the importance of your local partnerships / collaborations to the
project; how internal and external challenges were addressed and what the local impact
has been of the project. You have been capturing much of this information on your
quarterly progress reports. You may wish to refer to them as you prepare the Final
Narrative Report. You will note that some of the questions will be less relevant for you
given that the focus of your work has been on planning. In these cases it is appropriate to
indicate “not applicable” as the response.
The Final Bibliography consists of an itemized list of the “products” developed as a direct
result of your grant activities. This part of the report will be more limited as the focus of
your grants has been a planning process (see p. 17-27 Reporting Instructions) and we do
not expect grantees to have extensive bibliographies as part of their final report. For most
of our grantees the bibliography/products will not be applicable and this should be clearly
