Requesting Funds
The requirements for your final report are listed here and in the letter accompanying your check. Please submit a brief final report describing the outcome of your project and what the grant enabled you to accomplish. In addition, we now require a budget indicating how your funds were spent. You may also include a small selection of programs, press clippings, photographs, or other supplementary materials. Please include at least one visual if at all possible.
If you have problems or questions concerning your final report, you must contact us well in advance of your due date. Late or incomplete final reports will be taken into account when reviewing any future funding requests.
When you are ready to begin work on your project, please fax or mail us a letter requesting your funds. We will forward a check within two weeks of receipt of your letter. If you applied using a fiscal sponsor, indicate in your letter whether the check should be mailed directly to you or to your fiscal sponsor. (The check must still be made out to your fiscal sponsor, even if it is mailed to you.) If your check is mailed to your fiscal sponsor, we will also send you a letter to let you know that the check has been sent.
Updating Project Information
Please add us to your organization's mailing list and send us a copy of any project-related announcements, press releases, or any other materials. If there are any significant changes to your project as outlined in your application, it is important that you contact us to discuss them in advance. We also ask that you notify us as early as possible of any upcoming performances.
Crediting the Foundation
Please credit us in all materials relating to your project using our full name, the Jim Henson Foundation. If you would like to use our logo in your promotional materials, please email us at info@hensonfoundation.org, and we will send it to you.
Submitting Your Final Report
The due date for your final report is given in the letter accompanying your check. We accept final reports only twice a year, on May 1st and November 1st. Unlike our application deadlines, this is not a postmark deadline. Final reports must be in our office on or before the due date.
