The original Colorado Common Grant Report (CGR) was released in July 2002 as a companionCommon Grant Report logo to the CGA.  Funders accepting the CGA often also accept the CGRF to facilitate efficiency in reporting processes.  The CGR was revised in 2009, launched in August of that year, and is now available to download. Be sure to check with your grantmaker to learn when they plan to adopt the revised CGR.

Please click on the left-hand link above to download the document; you can then save it to your desktop so as to write your report. It is a Word document, compatible with Word 97-03 as well as with Word 2007. For more information about the revision of the CGR, please read here.

The new CGR User's Guide is a guide to assist you in using the CGR effectively.  This document is in PDF format with bookmarks, and can be used on-line or as a desk-top reference tool. Click the right-hand link above to download it.

As with the CGA, confirm with your specific funder that the CGR is acceptable for their purposes.  Make sure you tailor your documents for your grant and your funder, including requirements or evaluative information specific to the grant and/or funder. 

To download the 2002 Common Grant Report, please click here. We have included the format here because it continues to be accepted by many funders, and is a good tool for assisting you in reflecting and reporting your work to funders. The CGR is in a format that allows you to download, edit, modify, and save. Its accompanying Tips for Users document (also 2002) is also available for download.
