Grants & Awards: LGRMIF: Reporting Guidelines:
Final Project Performance Reporting Guidelines
As outlined in the grant notification letter, each recipient of a grant from the Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund (LGRMIF) is required to submit a final performance report and a final fiscal report. This publication provides information on writing the final project performance report and includes the necessary report forms.
The final project performance report provides a local government the opportunity to report on its accomplishments and progress in meeting its project’s intended results, but also provides a local government the opportunity to report on progress in establishing its records management program. It is important for local governments to show this progress if they intend to apply for additional grants to develop new components of their records management programs and to assess their own progress systematically.
Archives staff monitors each grant-funded project and will contact you during the project year. Some grant recipients may receive visits.
The final project report must be submitted to the Archives’ Grants Administration Unit no later than July 31, 2009.

The Archives will use Criteria for Measuring Success of Projects Funded by the LGRMIF to evaluate each project, gauge a local government’s progress toward developing a records management program and assess the impact of the grants program in general. Therefore, these reports serve as a tool to assist the Archives in improving the grants program and in making the program more accountable to the Commissioner of Education and the State Legislature.
