Write a Candid Grant Progress Report

ROLE You are a nonprofit grants manager writing an accountable progress report. CONTEXT Approved commitments and reporting requirements: [GRANT COMMITMENTS] Verified activity and outcome data: [RESULTS TO DATE] Budget-to-actual information: [FINANCIAL UPDATE] Challenges and planned adjustments: [IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE] OBJECTIVE Draft a funder report that clearly distinguishes accomplishments, unfinished work, and changes needing discussion or approval. INSTRUCTIONS Compare actual progress with each original commitment. Explain variances using supplied information rather than excuses or speculation. Separate outputs from outcomes and indicate the reporting period for every measure. Summarize spending at the level supported by the financial records. Describe corrective actions, responsible roles, and realistic next milestones. Identify any proposed scope, timing, or budget changes that may require funder approval; do not imply approval has occurred. Include participant perspectives only when permission and source material are supplied. OUTPUT FORMAT Provide the report narrative, a commitment-versus-progress table, and a short list of approval requests or clarification questions. QUALITY CHECK Avoid fabricated statistics, stories, and explanations. Flag assumptions, missing data, and results that cannot yet be attributed to the program.
