Information For Current Grantees
We are honored to work with some of the most dynamic, impactful organizations in Western New York. In order to build and maintain these strong partnerships, we ask all grantees to recognize and respect their ongoing responsibilities to the Oishei Foundation.
The following information applies to organizations that have been approved for a grant; if you are interested in applying for a grant, please see the Info for Potential Grantees page.
Reporting
At The Oishei Foundation, we are committed to learning from every successful initiative - as well as those that fall short of expectations. By studying the results together, in partnership with our grantees, we ensure that everyone benefits from the resulting data and insights. To support this learning-first approach, every grantee is required to submit periodic reports.
Reporting & Grant Requirements
- If you have received a grant, you will receive reporting requirements in your Grant Award & Agreement letter as well as additional reporting and payment schedule details along with your payment letter(s).
- See page three of our Quick Resource Guide for guidance in submitting your signed agreement.
- Notification of upcoming report requirements will also be sent by email and will be available in the grants management portal.
- Generally, a final report is due 30 days after the conclusion of the grant period and interim reports (if applicable) must be submitted and approved before each subsequent payment is issued.
- Please allow 30 days for the Foundation to review and approve your interim report(s). Failure to submit interim reports in a timely manner may result in a delay of payments.
- Both of our reporting forms also include the option of submitting a simple video to highlight your project/program, including its progress, value and impact.
