Congratulations on your grant. We’re proud to support the work your organization is doing in Fond du Lac County and our affiliate communities, and we look forward to hearing how it goes.
This page explains the grant evaluation, which every grantee completes once the funded program has run, and shares how to tell the community about your grant. If you have questions at any point, please reach out to our grants staff.
Once the funded program has run, nonprofits must complete an evaluation form describing how the grant was used and how it positively impacted the community. Our grants staff include the link to the form with the letter that accompanies your grant check, and the form is also available on this page.
To come: link to the grant evaluation form, to be added during implementation
The grant evaluation is a required step to be eligible for future grant opportunities. It is also part of the summary the Board of Directors sees the next time you apply, so it’s a chance to show what your program accomplished.
To come: evaluation timing policy. The current website’s one-month deadline and late-report language are not carried forward; what, if anything, to publish about timing is to be confirmed with the Executive Director during implementation
Investments in our community are newsworthy, and we encourage you to share your story far and wide. When you do, please mention the Fond du Lac Area Foundation and the generous donors whose gifts make grants possible.
Our team can help spread the word about your most important news. A joint press release template and communication guidelines are available to help you reference the Foundation and our donors correctly.
We encourage nonprofit partners to use the Foundation’s logo when publicizing our community investments. Our general logo is available for download, and if you need a different version, please email info@fdlareafoundation.com.
To come: joint press release template, communication guidelines, and logo files for download. The current page refers to these, but no files are posted; to be supplied during implementation
Our communications staff often share grant success stories on the Foundation’s social media platforms. If your organization has an impact story and photos connected to the grant, please email info@fdlareafoundation.com.
