REPORTING
To provide an update on a past grant, log in under “GRANTSEEKERS” using the same username and password you have established to complete grant applications or to view grant details.
- If a report has been requested and assigned to you, you will be able to access the report form directly from your dashboard. In the column labeled "Assigned to You," there will be a list of items awaiting your attention together with due dates; where a report is listed, clicking "Start" will take you to the report form. Alternatively, the column headed "Action Needed" will display 'cards' for each item due, together with some basic information about the grant and due date; clicking the report link on the 'card' will take you to the report form.
- If you are unsure of whether a report has been requested, you can review the history of grants for your organization by clicking on "Organization History", then "Request History." Clicking any project name will take you to the records associated with that project.
If you have additional questions, or if a report needs to be assigned to a different staff member at your organization, please contact InfoSupporting@columbusfoundation.org.
