Overview

This free Google Docs template helps a grant holder close a project with a final report that a funder can accept without follow-up questions. It records outcomes against the agreed baseline, the spend by line and by category, the stories behind the numbers, the open items and the owner of each outcome after closure. The result is a clear audit trail and a clean handover.

The sample is the final report for a literacy grant run by Larkspur Group, a fictional organisation, with invented learners, spend and partner sites. Replace the summary, outcomes and figures with audited numbers, check each claim against the grant agreement, and name an owner for every item that stays open.

Useful for

  • A charity closing a funded program and reporting to its trustees
  • A grant holder reporting final spend and outcomes to a foundation
  • A partner organisation taking over an outcome after the grant ends

Questions

Should a final report include the missed targets?

Yes. A funder trusts a report that shows what was missed and why more than one that reports only success. Give the reason for each miss and what was learned from it.

Are Larkspur Group and the learners real?

No. Larkspur Group, the literacy grant, the learners, figures, partner sites and quotes are fictional sample data. Replace them with your own audited details before the report is sent.

How long should the records be kept?

Keep receipts, timesheets and attendance registers for at least seven years, or as long as the grant agreement requires. Check the rule in the agreement before the report is sent.
