Grant Recipient Expectations
- The Workforce for Georgia Grant will be awarded up front.
- Each grantee will be required to sign a grant agreement before funds are released.
- Workforce for Georgia Grantees are responsible for tracking the outcomes of the project or program. Grantees will submit two evaluation reports indicating impacts of the program to date: One at mid-year and one upon completion of the program. The evaluation reports are the grantee’s opportunity to share the project’s progress, outcomes, lessons learned, and best practices.
- All grantees must distribute a retrospective survey to students participating in the funded program. The GFPE will provide the survey to grantees towards the end of the grant period, and the grant manager will be responsible for ensuring the participants have ample time to complete the survey.
- Representatives from Georgia Power Foundation and the Georgia Foundation for Public Education will request an in-person or virtual site visit in spring 2027 to observe the program/project in action.
- Any media or social media posting should include Georgia Power Foundation’s and the Georgia Foundation for Public Education’s logos, social media handles, and be shared.
