When the Robert B. McMillen Foundation awards a grant, we enter into a partnership with you that we hope will provide new insight into effective ways to strengthen our communities. Completion reports are our primary tool in measuring the achievements of the projects we support, and help strengthen the Foundation’s grantmaking program by highlighting new directions and issues to address. Your stories also help form the basis of our discussions with future applicants as we explain the kinds of projects the Foundation seeks to support.

We ask for your honest, critical attention in completing this report. We are interested in what contributed to the success of your project, as well as reasons that made other goals more difficult or impossible to achieve. A completion report should also help you assess your accomplishments. Taking time to evaluate your work is an effective way to recognize the hard work contributed by those involved, and point to ways to improve, not merely justify, an on-going project. We encourage you to share your findings with those who participated in your project and others interested in your work.
