Background:
Minnesota Common Report Form
The Minnesota Common Report Form provides a
standardized format for a nonprofit grantee to use in reporting to
different grantmakers about work it has accomplished with their grants,
helping to make the reporting process more efficient and effective for
nonprofits and funders alike. For grantees, the form can help reduce the
amount of time they must spend rearranging basic information to fit
funders’ varying reporting requirements. For grantmakers, the form can
help strengthen and streamline
their post-grant assessment process.The Minnesota
Council on Foundations introduced the Common Report Form in March 2001. The form was
developed based on input from Council members and representatives from the state’s
nonprofit community. The
Minnesota Common Report Form was inspired by the success of the
Minnesota
Common Grant Application Form, which the Council first released in
1996.
