As a CHCF grantee, you are required to submit narrative and financial reports. Guidelines and templates are provided below. Please refer to your grant or contract agreement for specific requirements and submission deadlines. All reports should be submitted online through CHCF’s Grants Portal. Read instructions on using the Portal.
It is the grantee’s responsibility to notify CHCF about any delays in reporting. If the delay changes the end date of the project, a no-cost extension must be requested.

Financial Reports, Invoices, and Expense Reports
CHCF typically requires financial reports for project for which a line item budget was submitted and approved. Financial reports should be completed using CHCF’s Financial Report Template (link below) or a similar spreadsheet. The first column of the report should reflect the approved budget for the project. If the template does not provide enough lines for each budget item, please insert additional lines and use additional pages rather than combine line items. (Note: Any line-item changes in excess of 10% or $1,000 must be approved by CHCF. Refer to your grant agreement for details.)
