Blowitz-Ridgeway Foundation has been monitoring the spread of COVID-19 with much concern for the challenges and risks that our grantee partners are facing. We recognize that the COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted your operations. Therefore, the Foundation has altered the reporting requirements and eliminated the 6-month report.

It would also be helpful for us to understand the magnitude of the challenges you are facing and the ways that we might be helpful now and going forward. Please address these questions in your final report:

• What organizational changes have you made in response to COVID-19, and how has this affected your operations?

• What are your current primary challenges and concerns?

• What impact has the COVID-19 crisis had on your financial health and stability?

Please note that you must log in with the same User ID and Password used to submit the online application. The form will be located under the “Requirements” tab. (If you do not see it under that tab, look under “In Progress Requirements”). In addition, you may contact Laura Romero, Grants Manager, if you have any questions or need assistance accessing your account. Please note that 12-month Final Reports should be based on the time period listed in your grant application, not when you received the grant.

An expense report is also required. For the financial/expense report you may provide a Financial Report that shows the Year-to-Date Actuals Comparison to the Budget that was submitted. Or you may download the expense form here.

1.) In your application, you stated that your goals and objectives to be accomplished during grant period. Please state your organization’s success in meeting those objectives and any problems encountered. If there were any changes to the original goals and anticipated outcomes, please explain.

2.) In hindsight, what do you wish you had done differently?

3.) Has the organization or project been able to find continuing financial support or move toward self-sufficiency?
