Grant Report Forms

If you received a grant from the Santa Barbara Foundation, we are interested in hearing about the results of your work. Through the submission of a final report, the Foundation can learn more about the impact of our investments throughout the county and also use this to inform our programs and donors. We appreciate you sharing both successes and lessons learned. For more information regarding our final reporting policy, please visit our Eligibility Criteria & FAQs page.

  • Please refer to the award letter that you received when the grant was awarded. This will indicate the date the final report is due, as well as the final reporting instructions.

    • PDF report submission
