Form 1 CED-P PPR

Instructions for the Community Economic Development – Planning Grant (CED-P) Performance Progress Report (PPR)

This PPR is designed to capture essential updates, challenges, and future plans related to a CED-P project. Please complete each section as fully and accurately as possible, providing specific details in response to each question. For each item, use clear and concise language to report progress, barriers encountered, and any assistance you may require.

Begin by filling in the “Standard Cover Information”, which includes identifying details about your organization. For the cover information, try your best to keep your responses concise and within the box provided.

The second section titled “General Project Updates” requires a response for each item. This section covers high-level information on updates & accomplishments, equity, challenges, technical assistance needs, and upcoming activities. Each of these responses has an 80-word limit. Try to keep your responses brief but complete. However, if you need more space, you can upload an additional document with your full answers.

The last section, “Activity-Specific Updates” has a series of questions for several CED- Planning activities including community & stakeholder engagement, economic development visioning, assessing local assets, identifying viable business markets, supportive services partnerships, funding opportunities of differing sources, business planning, and other activities. For this section only, you may write “N/A” in the response field for any of the activities listed that do not apply to your project during the reporting period. Each of the full-length responses has an 80-word limit. Try to keep your responses brief but complete. However, if you need more space, you can upload an additional document with your full answers. The funding responses are much shorter, and you should keep responses within the boxes provided.

These reports are essential for tracking program impact and identifying opportunities for growth. Respondents should ensure each response accurately reflects their activities and needs during this reporting period.
