Granted Project Resources

If you have been awarded a TGIF grant this page has everything you need to keep your project organized and on track.

Once you have signed and returned your Award Letter, please be sure to connect with your TGIF committee liaison. Your liaison will serve as your point of contact for the duration of the current academic year. They are available to help with any questions or assistance you need from TGIF. If you are unsure who this person is, please contact tgif@ucdavis.edu. 

As you begin work on your project it is recommended that you communicate with your liaison about your project timeline. Specifically, TGIF requests two reports from each project: the midpoint report and the final report. The midpoint report is intended to serve a project check-in. These are a good opportunity to share any milestones reached, challenges, and next steps with the TGIF committee. Once the midpoint report has been reviewed and approved by the TGIF committee, the second half of project funds will be dispersed to your project’s account. 

The final report is a great way for TGIF to learn about your project’s accomplishments, impact, and any improvements that TGIF should consider that your team has identified. These reports should include detailed information about the project that TGIF can use to promote your work through our website and social media accounts. Please be sure to include photos of your project that TGIF has permission to share through these channels.

Expectations for Granted Projects:

• All projects must return a signed Award Agreement to the Grant Manager prior to receiving funds. Projects will be held responsible for meeting the terms of said agreement and any other documents and obligations.
• Any changes to project scope of work, budgeted expenditures, or other changes to the project as proposed, accepted by the Committee, and agreed to by the project applicant, must be brought forward to the Grant Manager and full Committee prior to making such changes to the project scope or expenditures.
• All projects funded by the Committee shall submit a progress report at the project mid-point to the Grant Manager, per the progress report template available on the website.
• All projects funded by the Committee shall submit a final report at the conclusion of the project. The report must include a budget detailing the spending of all funds and follow the final report template available on the website.
• Upon review of a report, the Grant Manager and/or Committee shall judge whether the funds were spent within the scope of a project. If the Grant Manager feels the funds were spent outside of project scope, they may recommend that the Committee require return of funds to TGIF.

If you have questions, contact your liaison or email the Grant Program Manager at tgif@ucdavis.edu.
