Grants to Indian Tribal Governments Program


Brief Instructions: This form must be completed for each Grants to Indian Tribal Governments (Tribal Governments Program) grant received. The grant administrator or coordinator must ensure that the form is completed fully with regard to all grant activities. Grant partners, however, may complete sections relevant to their portion of the grant. Grant administrators or coordinators are responsible for compiling and submitting a single report that reflects all information collected from grant partners.


All grantees should read each section to determine which questions they must answer based on the activities supported under this grant during the current reporting period. Sections B, F, and subsections A1 and C3 of this form must be completed by all grantees. In sections D, E, and subsections A2, C1, C2, C4, C5, C6 and C7, grantees must answer an initial question about whether they supported certain activities during the current reporting period. If the response is yes, then the grantee must complete that section or subsection. If the response is no, the rest of that section or subsection is skipped.


For example, 1) if you are a victim services agency providing training and victim services with staff funded under this grant, you would complete A1, A2, B, C1, C3, D, and F (and answer ‘no’ in C2, C4, C5, C6, C7 and E1-E5); or, 2) if you are a law enforcement agency receiving funds to pay for staff who provide training to other law enforcement officers, you would complete A1, A2, B, C1, C3, and F (and answer ‘no’ in C2, C4, C5, C6, C7, D and E1-E5).


The activities of volunteers or interns should be reported if they were coordinated or supervised by Tribal Governments program-funded staff or if Tribal Governments program funds substantially supported their activities.
