All CHEFA grantees are required to file a final project report with the Authority within 90 days of the end of their grant period. The report must be filed using the Authority's form attached below. Please contact us to have the Word version emailed to you.
Beginning with the 2008 grantees and thereafter, an ANNUAL report will be required and due near the anniversary of the Board award date. Thus all those awarded Client Grants in 2008 must file an annual report with CHEFA by March 1, 2009, and each March 1 for the life of the grant period. This requirement is in addition to the Final project report and applies to Client and Open Grants. Grantees will utilize the Authority's project report form for annual reports.
All requests for modifications to the CHEFA grant period, reporting period and budget must be made in writing to the Authority in the format of the Modification Request Form. To obtain a form, contact Kimberley Fontaine at
Modifications may not be requested during the final 60 days of any grant period, nor after a grant period has ended.
Grantees are reminded that the grant agreements require that grantee entities maintain and separately account for the funds disbursed by the Authority, and provide for an audit of those funds. The failure to ensure that the file is accurately maintained and funds are spent as delineated in the budget provided to the Authority constitutes a breach of the agreement and a finding of noncompliance.
Grantees are required to use and retain capital assets purchased with grant funds for a minimum of five years. Disposal, transfer, or sale of said assets with five years of award will constitute noncompliance with the grant award. The Authority may be obligated to report findings of noncompliance to various State and regulatory authorities.
