Funding

Submitting Reports

Grantees are required to submit written reports on the project approved for funding. The reporting requirements and due dates are set by Program Staff and are outlined in the Grant Agreement Letter.

Online report forms are posted to your MyAccount at least 30 days prior to the due date and may be accessed through your MyAccount under the “Requirements” heading. The MyAccount owner will receive an email notification at the time the report is posted to the online account.

COMPLETING THE BUDGET FORM

To complete this form, you will need to take the following steps:

  • On the first tab of the grant budget, along with Benedum funding, enter all matching funds requested and received.
    • Enter all funding which was listed on the original project budget, submitted with the application, in the Total Project Budget Revenues and Expenses column (yellow shading).
    • Under the Total Project Actual Revenues and Expenses column (green shading), enter all actual revenue and expenses – not just Benedum funds.
  • The second tab should reflect all expenses associated with Benedum funding.

INTERIM REPORTS

  • Using the budget form linked above and following the steps above, list only the funds received to date. Do not include future funding projections as this should be a reflection of the funding activity to date. This includes capturing only funds received from Benedum to date as well; do not include projected future payments.

If you cannot find the report in your account or have questions regarding your reporting schedule, contact the Grants System Manager, at 412-246-3636 or info@benedum.org.

When contacting the Benedum Foundation about a grant, please be sure to reference the grant ID. The grant ID is an eight-digit number and begins with the year the application was submitted. i.e. 2019XXXX.

REQUESTING AN EXTENSION

The Foundation has standardized our process for amending any of the terms of your approved funding request. The standardized process is as follows:

  • Send a new email with the grant name and ID number in the subject line to your program officer.

 If budget amendments are being submitted:

  • The body of the email should include a summary of the budget amendment request (including an update to the project timeline and extension request end date, if applicable). In the email you will need to describe the rationale for the requested adjustments.
  • Please attach the original approved budget submitted with your application or, if you have had a prior amendment, the latest approved budget.
  • You will need to complete an updated budget and budget narrative on our template (make a copy of your approved project budget and edit as needed), including the proposed amendments. Be sure to clearly state the amount of funds you are moving and from which line to which line in alignment with the rationale for your request.

Note: You cannot add line items in an amendment request. Only lines that were funded in the approved budget can be modified. For example, if you did not have a travel line item in the original budget you cannot add one in the proposed budget amendment. 

If the request is solely to extend the grant:

  • If you are only requesting an extension, please document the reasons for additional time request including the new anticipated project end date.
