Grant reporting and acquittal

Acquittal

Organisations that receive a grant from the Hobsons Bay Community Fund are required to provide an acquittal report at the end of the project on how the funding was used and the outcomes achieved.

You can find the online acquittal form HERE

Completing the Grant Acquittal report

The grant acquittal report helps the Community Fund understand the impact of funded projects and share stories about the important work being done across the Hobsons Bay community. The report includes questions about:

  • the activities delivered through the project

  • the outcomes and impact of the grant

  • how the grant funds were spent

  • photos and stories that help illustrate the project

We encourage organisations to share examples, reflections and photos where possible, as these help us celebrate and promote the work of local community organisations.

Completing the acquittal form

Complete the report through a short online Google Form. You do not need a Google email address to complete the form.

However, if you are signed into a Google account, your progress can be saved automatically so you can return to the form later.

If you experience any difficulties accessing the form, please contact us at: grants@hbcommunityfund.org.au
