Attend a workshop

Each workshop will be recorded and be made available on our website.

Complete Compliance Intake Process

Each organization must be compliant and in good standing with the City's compliance requirements to use their grant funding.

Review this checklist or page before beginning this process.

Submit your Reimbursement Request

After completing the compliance intake process, grantees must submit a reimbursement request to claim their grant payment.

NEW REQUIREMENT: Mid-Cycle Grantee Reporting

FY25 GFTA grantees are required to submit a Mid-Cycle Grantee Reporting Form in order to be eligible to receive their FY26 GFTA grant. The reporting form will cover the period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.

GFTA is now accepting the FY25 Mid-Cycle Grantee Form on a rolling basis until Thursday, July 31, 2025. Grantees may submit their report only in the link they received via email on January 9, 2025. Prior to submitting online, grantees are encouraged to fill out this template. We do not accept reports via email.

We encourage grantees to submit their report once programming and/or fiscal year is complete to expedite their FY26 award process. To receive support, grantees are invited to attend one of our monthly Technical Assistance Sessions.
