Reporting

Final Reports

Final reports for 2020 grants are due July 15, 2021.

To complete a final report, connect to your account using the button below. Maddox is not requesting our traditional final budget report form but will accept your organization’s year-end financials in the format shared with your Board of Directors (likely a balance sheet and P&L for your fiscal year end).  We will also reference your 990 and audit on GivingMatters.com.  If you would like to submit a report verbally, please reach out to Maddox staff.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Can I adjust my outcomes or financial allocation during the grant term?

It’s possible. You can formally request to revise your outcomes/reallocate funds by calling the Maddox staff to discuss a revision/reallocation at any point during the grant term. Please note that a revision/reallocation cannot occur after a grant term has ended.

+ What happens if I don't make all my outcomes?

It is not unusual for conditions to change making outcomes difficult to realize.  It is best if you call the Maddox office as soon as you know about the change or challenge so we can make an alternative plan together.  If you have come to the end of the grant term and outcomes  are not met, please use the report to explain why, what you have learned and any adjustments you need to make in your pending application.

+ What should I do if my agency receives negative publicity?

Please call us if you anticipate receiving negative publicity or unexpectedly receive negative publicity. We would prefer to hear the news from you rather than the media.

+ The July report deadline is in the middle of our summer program, can we change the deadline for my report?

Yes.  We frequently make changes for summer programs.  Generally, we will change the deadline to August 15 unless there is a compelling reason for additional time.

+ What should I do if the staff at our organization changes?

Any internal changes (staff, measurement tools) or external changes (public policy, partner) should be communicated to Maddox as soon as possible. Any thing that impacts your program or organization is of interest to us.  Please call early, don’t wait for the reporting deadline.
