Reporting Guidelines for Designated Funds

RSF requires a report from each Designated Fund for every six-month period in which funds are disbursed. Your report should include both a narrative and financial report.

Financial Report

Your financial report needs to detail each disbursement that you received during the past six-month period. Please include the following information:

  • date that you received the disbursement,
  • the amount of the disbursement,
  • and a short line item detail describing how the funds were utilized.

Please do not include copies of your receipts. However, RSF does require thatreporting-guidelines-for-designated-funds you keep your receipts on file in your organizational records.

Narrative Report

Your narrative report should describe your activity during the six-month period, and helps us stay up-to-date on your work and project. You are welcome to include photos and visual materials.

Some guiding questions to help you in writing your narrative report:

  • How did the funds disbursed help you implement your project or program?
  • How did the funds disbursed help to improve your organization or project?
  • What did you learn as a result of working on your project?
  • How did you involve the community in your project or organization, and whom did the disbursed funds allow you to serve?
  • What new connections or relationships developed as a result of the disbursed funds?
  • Are you actively seeking funds for your project?
