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 Connecticut Council for Philanthropy’s Common Report Form available at ctphilanthropy.org. It may also be requested by email from Kimberley Fontaine at .
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 February 26, 2009, and each February 26 for the life of the grant period. This requirement is in addition to the Final project report. Grantees will utilize the Common 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. The Authority may be obligated to report findings of noncompliance to various State and regulatory authorities.
