FY 2009 Recovery Act

CIIS Quarterly Institution Level Report Instructions




  1. General Information


A. Quarterly Reporting Periods

Quarterly Institution Level Reports (QILR): Recipients of FY 2009 CDFI and NACA Program awards from the CDFI Fund through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) are required to submit QILRs to the CDFI Fund no later than ten (10) days after the end of each calendar quarter beginning September 30, 2009 and continuing every quarter (December 31, March 31, June 30, and September 30) for the term of their Assistance Agreements.


The QILR must be submitted electronically through the CDFI Fund’s Community Investment Impact System (CIIS), which the Awardee will access through its myCDFIFund account.


After the QILR is submitted to the CDFI Fund, the CDFI Fund’s CIIS Help Desk will review the data and send any questions to the Awardee. If the Awardee fails to respond to such questions within the CDFI Fund’s required timeframe, the QILR will be rejected as incomplete.


QILR Submission Deadlines: The Awardee must submit the required QILR by the dates set forth below:


QILR Deadlines

For every quarter ending on:

Due date:

September 30

October 10

December 31

January 10

March 31

April 10

June 30

July 10


In addition to QILR requirements, CDFI and NACA Program (Recovery Act) Awardees will be required to submit Annual Reports to the CDFI Fund in accordance with the terms of their Assistance Agreements.


Unless otherwise noted, all questions in the QILR relate to the immediately preceding quarter.  


B. CIIS Requires Responses to All Questions

The Awardee must provide a response in every “active” data field in order to submit the QILR.  Data fields that are not required are “grayed out” on the screen.  When a User leaves a page, CIIS provides a notice identifying required responses that are missing. CIIS also provides a summary Status Page to verify the completion of each QILR section.


When appropriate, CIIS will allow “Don’t Know” and/or “Not Applicable” as a valid response.  If applicable, these options will appear in a dropdown menu or radio button.


  • Don’t Know:  Use “Don’t Know” when the question is valid for the Awardee but the answer is unknown or unavailable.  For example, if the Awardee provides Technical Assistance but does not track the number of clients that received the assistance, “Don’t Know” is the appropriate response.


  • Not Applicable:  Use “Not Applicable” when the question is not valid or not applicable to the Awardee.  Please do not use “Not Applicable” for a “$0” or “0” response.  For example, if the Awardee purchases loans but did not purchase any loans during the reporting period, the number of loans purchased is “0.”  However, if the Awardee does not purchase loans at all, then the number of loans purchased is “Not Applicable.”  Please note that “Not Applicable” does NOT mean unavailable (use “Don’t Know” for unavailable).


C. Depository Institution Holding Companies

Awardees that are Depository Institution Holding Companies are only required to complete the following sections of the QILR:

  • Section IA. Basic Information (Q. 1 - 3)

  • Section IC. Staff and Consultants (Q.9-14)

Section II. Financing (Q.15-16)

Section IV. Award Compliance (Q. 20)


D. Completing Tables

Tables are used for questions where the number of responses may differ for each Awardee.  For example, in the Contributed Operating Revenue Table, a User completes one row for each type of donor that is applicable to the Awardee. General Table functions are described as:

Add Row: Click the "Add Row" button to add a new row to the Table.  For each row, CIIS will provide a pop-up data dialog box.  After completing the data dialog box for the specific row, click the "Add" button within the data dialog box to add the new responses to the Table OR click the "Cancel" button to delete the responses.

Modify Row:  Select the row to be modified by clicking the radio button in the left column of the Table.  You may only modify one row at a time.  Click the "Update Row" button to reopen the data dialog box.  Enter any changes in the data dialog box and click the "Update" button to update the Table with the new responses OR click the "Cancel" button to leave the data unmodified.

Delete Row(s):  Select the row(s) to be deleted by clicking the radio buttons in the left column of the Table.  Click the "Delete Row" or “Delete Rows” button to remove the row(s) from the Table.

Complete Table:  CIIS determines that a Table is complete when the User clicks the “Please Check Here to Confirm That the Table is Complete” check box that accompanies each Table.  If the Awardee does not have any information to enter into a Table, click the check box and skip to the next question.


Users Must Complete Tables: The QILR is incomplete unless the check box is clicked on an empty Table when the Awardee has information that should have been included in the table. The QILR will be rejected as incomplete unless all applicable Tables are complete.


Managing Pop-Ups: The pop-up data dialog boxes open as new windows.  If you “lose” the data dialog box on your screen prior to clicking “Add,” “Update,” or “Cancel,” please check whether the window is “hidden” behind other windows or programs.


After the QILR is submitted to the CDFI Fund, the CIIS Help Desk will review the report and send any questions to the Awardee.  If the Awardee fails to respond to such questions within the CDFI Fund’s required timeframe, the report will be rejected as incomplete.


USE NOTES:  CIIS provides a Notes field for each QILR question.  Users may enter and edit notes by clicking the Notes icon ( ) next to the appropriate field.  Please use the Notes field to explain financial entries that are not clearly identified in the Awardee’s Financial Report and related notes. Also use the Notes field to explain other responses that you believe the CDFI Fund may question.  The Notes are a great help to the CDFI Fund.



E. Certify the QILR


The User must certify the QILR upon completion.


CIIS has a single certification process for the QILR.  Users will be able to certify the QILR when:

The QILR is complete. (On the CIIS Home Page, select “Quarterly ILR” menu “Quarterly ILR Status” to check for completion.)

- All loans and investments that were outstanding at any time during the reporting period are pre-certified.  


In order to certify and submit the QILR, all “active” questions must be complete. Users may review the QILR completeness by selecting “Quarterly ILR Status” from the “Quarterly ILR” Tab on the CIIS Home Page.  


When the QILR is complete:

Select the “Certify” tab on the CIIS Home Page.

Confirm that the QILR are marked as complete.

Respond to the QILR Release questions.

Select "Next" button.  

Review the Certification Statement and select appropriate checkbox to agree with the statement.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Guidance issued by Office of Management and Budget on April 3, 2009 provides the following definitions for jobs created or retained:


"Jobs created” means those new positions created and filled, or previously existing unfilled positions that are filled, as a result of Recovery Act funding.


"Jobs or positions retained” mean those previously existing filled positions that are retained as a result of Recovery Act funding.

One FTE is an employee who works a work week of 35 hours or more. In calculating the number of FTEs, the hours of part-time employees should be combined.

Example (2):  If a full-time loan officer spends 28 hours per week on lending activities and 7 hours per week providing training, this person would count as .80 (=28/35 or 80%) FTEs Dedicated to Lending/Investing activities and .20 (=7/35 or 20%) FTEs Dedicated to Development Services.
