Grantee Resources

The Grant Utilization Report helps the Norton Trust understand how your grant was used and the impact it had on your organization and the community.

Reports are due no later than September 30 following the grant period. Submission is required for consideration for future Norton Trust grants.

Your report should briefly address:

• Project Summary: What was accomplished, when it took place, and who benefited.
• Impact: How many people were served and what difference the project made.
• Grant Expenditures: An itemized list showing how the Norton Trust grant was spent.
• Changes: Explain any significant changes from the original project or budget.
• Supporting Materials: Include photographs, testimonials, publicity, or other materials that help demonstrate the project's results, if applicable.

A lengthy report is not necessary. A clear summary and accounting of the grant funds, along with relevant supporting materials, is sufficient. Most importantly, tell us what the grant made possible and how it benefited your organization and the community.

We are pleased to support your organization through an Elizabeth Harding Norton Trust grant. We encourage grant recipients to share the news of their award and recognize the Trust’s support in appropriate communications related to the funded project.

 We welcome opportunities to highlight the work made possible through Norton Trust grants. Organizations may share photographs, project updates, or other information about their funded project with the Trust.

If your organization issues a press release or other public announcement about the grant, we appreciate being notified and receiving a copy or link when available.

 If you have questions about acknowledging your grant or communicating about your funded project, please contact the Elizabeth Harding Norton Trust.
