Progress Report Supplement

BACKGROUND & PURPOSE

The Corporation for National and Community Service provides the VISTA Progress Report Supplement (VPRS) as an addendum to the regular quarterly progress report required of organizations approved to sponsor a VISTA project. The VPRS is submitted on an annual basis and is intended to cover activities over a single fiscal year, regardless of the individual program year. The VPRS is the vehicle through which projects submit specific data elements needed by the Corporation to report on performance. Corporation personnel will use the reports to track Corporation and VISTA specific performance measures on an annual basis.

• All VISTA projects are required to submit the VPRS once per year

• The project supervisor should complete the VPRS

• AmeriCorps VISTA members should be allowed to review the completed reports, but should not be required to complete the report
