Impact Report

Congratulations on your Campus Sustainability Fund grant! We’re excited to hear about your project's accomplishments and next steps. Impact Reports are important records for each grant. 

This report is a requirement for approved projects and can be submitted anytime from May - June, but no later than June 30th. Should a project conclude sooner than May, the final report can be submitted at the close of the project, once all data is collected/ finalized.  

Impact Reports are not just for your team and the CSF Committee to understand your project’s progress, but also for the rest of the campus community to review. All Impact Reports will be posted on our webpage, Funded Projects, under your project’s page so individuals interested in your project can learn more about your project’s trajectory, challenges, impact, and achievements. 

If the CSF Committee feels that insufficient information is provided, the Committee will request a new submission. 

Please provide all Standard Metrics that are relevant to your project. In the “Requested Metrics” section of the Impact Report, you must enter all the cumulative metrics of your project that have been requested by the CSF Committee and selected by your project team.
