Reporting

Interim and Final Report

Interim Report

An interim report must be submitted for grants that are still in use or have not yet been withdrawn. The interim report can be short — just a few sentences providing a status update.

Final Report

A comprehensive final report must be submitted once the use of the grant has ended. Thus, a final report must eventually be submitted for every grant award — either once the grant has been fully used, the project has been completed, and/or part of the grant has been cancelled.

For example, if a grant is awarded on 9 October 2024, an interim or final report must be submitted by the end of the following year (31 December 2025). If the grant is still in use at the end of the year following the award year (2025), an interim report must be submitted by 31 December 2025, and in subsequent years a final report must be submitted for the grant in question.

Full-Year Working Grant

Exception: A recipient of a full-year (12-month) full-time grant does not need to submit a report in the year following the award year if they apply for and are awarded a new grant for the same purpose — i.e., a continuation grant. In such cases, the continuation grant application serves as the report.

A final report on the entire project and the grant periods must be submitted at the end of the calendar year in which the use of the most recent grant for the same purpose has ended.

Submitting the report

The report is completed in the online grant service. Reports submitted through the online service do not need to be mailed to the Foundation.

• In the “Grant title” of the report form, state the name of the project, e.g. doctoral studies “The title of the dissertation” with which it is possible to identify your project.
• In the Final report, you must tell concretely what the grant was used for. For example, what the artistic work has included, what it means to complete the publications as you have planned etc. Write a “story” (Final report) that tells how your specific project has progressed with the help of the grant.
• The manager in charge is responsible for reporting the work of projects and working groups.
• The report must be sent to the Foundation within the time limit. Dismissing the report can lead to problems in applying for a grant in the future.
• Change requests entered into reports on the use of the grant will not be taken into consideration. Free-form requests to change the use of the grant must be submitted separately to Wihuri Foundation (by mail, email: pdf attachment or in the Online Grant Service as an attachment to the Messages field).

It is also polite to show gratitude by mentioning the Foundation’s grant in CV’s, publications, concert programs, exhibitions catalogues and in other comparable situations.

Note: The grant application and its appendices are one process: If you have previously received a grant from the Wihuri Foundation for the same project, the role of the grant in promoting the project should be clarified in the application in May (this is an appendix to the grant application or part of the work plan). A grant-report must be submitted separately to the Foundation starting from the year after awarding  – except if you have been awarded a one-year fulltime grant and a continuation grant*).
Change requests entered into reports on the use of the grant will not be taken into consideration.

We are happy to receive hard copies of written works (fiction and non-fiction) created with the support of our grants. You can send the works to our office at Kalliolinnantie 4, 00140 Helsinki.
