EXHIBIT C WOUKNEQUAT oNG ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT GUIDELINES The annual progress report from your project to the Kellogg Foundation is an important document. It is a permanent record of what you are achieving and what you are learning in the process which can help others. Preparing this report allows you-and the Foundation-to carefully analyze your work and the context in which that work is being done. This analysis helps to shape future grant-making directions. Each annual progress report should address the results of the project year just completed. The Founda- tion does not expect a project to unfold exactly as originally planned. In fact,success is often achieved because a project made changes. The lessons learned in making changes or from not being able to attain certain goals are as important as the successful outcomes. We encourage you to share your successes and frustrations. The format below is suggested as'a means of helping you to respond to the important evaluation questions that were identified specifically for your project. Many of these questions state in general terms what your own project has stated in specific terms. Feel free to modify this format if needed as long as substantive points are covered for your project. Strive to be brief but complete. Each annual report should build upon the last,con- taining just enough information from previous project years to refresh the reader's mind and to describe the maturation of the project. Project Summary (1-2 pages) This introduction to the full report tells the reader what to expect by "setting the scene." Succinctly restate the project's intended goals,the strategies you have undertaken to achieve them,and the methods by which you are evaluating these efforts. Weave into this brief summary the important questions for evaluation which were stated in your commitment letter. Note if changes have been made in any goals or strategies.
