Why are there grant reporting requirements?

 

One role of the Nova Scotia Gaming Foundation is to fund projects and the NSGF must provide a detailed yearly report to the Minister, Health Promotion and Protection, disclosing the funds allocated through research grants, community projects grants and other activities. The reports provided to the NSGF about the use of funds provided to various health and community organizations provide the basis for the annual report prepared by the Nova Scotia Gaming Foundation. Therefore, prompt and complete grant reports are required from all grant recipients.

 

When is the grant report due?

An "Interim Report" is necessary to help keep the Foundation informed of your progress to date.  The due date of an Interim Report will be decided on a project-by-project basis.  The Foundation will advise you, at the time of your grant acceptance, the date on which your Interim Report is due. You will also receive a reminder letter that your Interim Report is due for submission.  The letter will include a sample of the required format of your report.

 

The final grant report is due when the grant period is completed, as outlined in the grant contract. If a grant report is expected to be overdue, the grant recipient should contact the Nova Scotia Gaming Foundation to let them know about the difficulty and to request any required assistance. Any amendments to the grant contracts, including the deadline for reports, must be made in writing and signed by both parties to the contract. No additional grants will be awarded to organizations that have outstanding grant reports.
