All grantees that are receiving College Access Foundation of California’s grants for scholarships are asked to review and abide by the Foundation’s Best Practices.
Grant Reporting
College Access Foundation of California requires reports from all grantee organizations, as part of the grant agreement. Please refer to your grant award letter for your reporting schedule.
The Foundation also collects data on student scholarship recipients from those grantees who are awarded scholarship funds (see below).
Interim and Final Narrative and Financial Reports.
Grantee narrative and financial reporting is now online through our grantee portal: Click here.
Interim Narrative and Financial Reports are required each year during a multi-year grant, and may be required mid-year on some grants.
Final Narrative and Financial Reports are required on all grants once all grant funds have been spent and all funded work has been completed.
Please complete the Narrative Report (Interim or Final) online.
Please also complete a Financial Report for each grant report and upload it as an attachment to the Interim or Final Report on the portal. For multi-year grants: if you are partway through your reporting cycle, you will need to retroactively enter information for prior reporting periods (years) on the Financial Report form. Please complete a separate Financial Report for each grant.
Accessing the Portal
If you have an existing portal account connected to your organization, you have access to your organization’s grants and grantee reports. If you do not have a portal account and need access, or a different person at your organization needs access, create a portal account by clicking the Register button on the login page, and email support@collegeaccessfoundation.org to request access to the organization’s grantee reports.
The designated Report Contact for each grant also received instructions on how to use the portal in June 2012 and a portal account was created for them. The Report Contact for the grant will receive automated email reminders about upcoming or overdue reports. If the report contact for your grant changes, please notify us.
If you have any questions about completing or submitting your grant reports, contact Joanna Saracino, Program Associate,
jsaracino@collegeaccessfoundation.org or (415) 287-1811.
Student Data Reports
For every scholarship funded by the College Access Foundation, the Foundation requires grantees to submit student data by the winter and spring of each academic year for which the scholarship was awarded. Grantees submit the report through the Foundation's secure online database (currently separate from our grantee portal used for the interim and final grant reports). Below, please find the complete list of
Student Data Collection Requirements as well as the
Student Data Release Consent Form that every student must sign and submit. A Spanish language version of the form is available
here.
If you have any questions about reporting student data, please contact Joanne Lacsina, Associate Reasearch and Data Analyst,
jlacsina@collegeaccessfoundation.org.
