Community Navigators Pilot Program

Community Navigator Grantee Performance Reporting

As outlined in the Notice of Funding Opportunity, in addition to financial reports using SF 425 – Federal Financial Report (OMB Control Number 4040-0014), all grantees are also expected to submit quarterly performance reports to SBA. The reported information will help SBA to assess grantees’ program activity and the extent to which grantees are achieving desired program results and appropriately utilizing grant funds in support of the Community Navigator Program. Submission of these reports is necessary for grantee’s compliance with the terms of its grant.

According To the paperwork Reduction Act, you are not required to respond to a collection of information unless a valid OMB control number is displayed. The number for this collection of information is 3245-XXXX. The estimated burden for preparing and submitting each quarterly performance report is 2 hours If you have any questions or comments concerning this estimate or other aspects of this collection of information, please contact the U.S. Small Business Administration, Director, Records Management Division, 409 3rd Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20416, and/or SBA Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10202, Washington, DC 20503.
