Utilization of grants
Information about submission reports can be found here: https://safnarad.is/umsoknavefur/
Grant recipients are required to submit a report to the Museum Council on the use of grants from the museum fund. All reports on the use of grants are submitted through the Museum Council's application website, direct links to the reports can be found below. A utilization report must be submitted for all grant types, project, operating and continuing education grants.
Reports on the use of grants must be submitted no later than one year after the project ends, but It is recommended that grantees submit reports as soon as a project is completed.
Utilization reports of grants from museum funds.
One-year grants – interim report: For grants of 1,500,000 and above, the grantee must submit a progress report to the museum board. This report must be submitted at the beginning of the following year, at the latest one year after the grant is awarded. If the project is completed within that time, submitting a final report is sufficient. However, payment of grants will not be divided into phases at this time.
One-year grants – final report: All grant recipients are required to submit a final report, which is in a similar format to the previous utilization report for project grants. This report must be submitted no later than 12 months after the final submission date of the interim report (applies to all grants, including those less than 1.5 million ISK).
Excellence Grant – Progress Report: Annually, grantees submit a progress report for Excellence Grants. The next year's grant will not be disbursed until it has been submitted and approved by the Executive Director.
Excellence Grant – Final Report: At the end of the Excellence Project, grantees submit a final report.
Grants from additional allocations: All grant recipients are required to submit a final report, the deadline for submission is usually just over a year after the grant is awarded.
