Grant Recipients

If your organization has been awarded a grant:

  1. Reporting- We do not require a formal follow-up site evaluation of the projects we support but we do require a six-month report. This report shall include the progress of the measured outcome(s) of the project supported and an update on the project’s budget. If the grant was for the purchase of certain equipment, please provide a copy of the paid invoice. If reports are not submitted, the Foundation reserves the right to terminate or suspend the grant. Please refer to your grant agreement for the specific terms and reporting requirements of your grant. We consider ourselves partners with the community and in that light, we are eager to have honesty in our communications with grantees. We really want to know what went well, what problems were encountered, and what lessons were learned. We understand that sometimes the best plans are not realized and other times unexpected results happen. Be candid. Inform us of your disappointments as well as your successes. Your report should be emailed in pdf format to: [email protected].
  2. Publicity- The Parker Foundation does not seek recognition for itself. If we wish to honor individuals, including Mr. and Mrs. Parker, through a memorial grant, we’ll make that suggestion to you. On the other hand, if publicity about our grant will, in your opinion, help your organization and encourage others to support it as well, then we’ll be pleased for you to publicize the grant. Information concerning The Parker Foundation and the Parkers, suitable for use in press releases if you wish, is contained in our website.
  3. Plaques, framed certificates, memorabilia, and miscellaneous items are unnecessary.
  4. Future Support- The approval of a grant does not imply future support. 
  5. Finally, congratulations! We are pleased to be partners with you in an endeavor, which we believe, will better the lives of the people of San Diego County. We hope that our interest in and enthusiasm for your good work will inspire and challenge you and be of almost as great a benefit as the grant funds themselves.
