Final Report

In accordance with the agreement between the CBVA and the grantee, the grantee will submit a final report of their completed project within one month of completion to receive the final 50% of the grant funding. Upon successful completion and approval of the final report, apart from committing to acknowledge the CBVA in any public representation, social media, or traditional media, the grantee will be released from any further commitment to the CBVA.

The final report aims to fully inform the CBVA of the project and is, therefore, an important document that must be completed.
