Introduction
CIRA requires that all Net Good Grants recipients submit a final report. This report helps both your organization and CIRA learn from your experience and understand how this grant helped build a better online Canada. Your final report is due within three months of project completion. Log on to https://cira.smartsimple.ca to submit your report.
The final report compares actual project results against your original application. Grant recipients are also required to report on their actual revenues and expenses as compared to their budget and explain any variances.
Once the project report has been submitted and reviewed by CIRA, we will set up a project reflection meeting to discuss the project outcomes and your experience with CIRA. We love to tell the stories of the projects we fund and we will share project outcomes on our website as well as any photos and links that you share with us. Please visit our project list and recent featured stories for examples.
