7)+Reporting+Requirements

** REPORTING REQUIREMENTS: ** The LHIP seeks to ensure accountability for grant funding through a system of reporting, while designing reports which aim to be useful for grantees and to minimize bureaucratic burden. Each congregation will be required to submit a __mid-year report__ by Thursday, 12/16/10 and an __end of year__ report for extended LHIP grantees by Wednesday 5/11/11, and for new and renewed LHIP grantees by Wednesday 6/15/11**.**

**1. MID-YEAR PROGRESS**: A completed report ([|LHIP Cong Ed midyear report template 2010-11 grantees.doc]) which includes (1) a description of your actions implementing your initiative to date and (2) successes/challenges you have encountered and your responses thereto.

**2. YEAR-END REPORT**: A completed final report which includes (1) a description of your actions implementing your initiative since December, (2) successes/challenges you have encountered and your responses thereto, (3) information for congregations which may wish to adapt your initiative for themselves; (4) updated documentation on the wiki.

FINANCIAL REPORT:** An updated budget report indicating the grant funds expended to date and explaining any significant discrepancies between anticipated and actual expenditures. This should be the most updated version of the budget you included in your proposal. Here is the template to be used:

 **4. OBJECTIVES:** An updated “objectives grid” recording the project’s current qualitative and quantitative objectives. This, too, should be an updated version of the grid you originally included in your proposal. Here is a blank template (although updating your own, from your proposal, should be much easier):

**5. WIKI UPDATE:** Posting materials relating to the implementation of your project to date on your congregation’s page of the Legacy Heritage Innovation Project wiki website (https://legacyheritageinnovationproject.wikispaces.com). These materials should be organized according to the following categories:

a. __Publicity/marketing materials__: copies of any materials (letters, brochures, flyers, newsletter articles, d’rashot, sermons, newspaper articles, web articles, etc.) promoting participation in your initiative. b. Educational materials: thumbnail descriptions and copies of any lesson plans, texts, syllabi, training materials, etc. you have used to date in implementing your approach. c. Materials developed relating to systemic congregational change (if any), such as training materials for lay leadership or staff.
