For information specific to your obligations, please refer to your Stemmler Fund contract. You will receive reminders from the Stemmler team regarding due dates for your reports.
Interim Reports
You are required to submit an interim report midway through the grant funding period. Release of the remainder of grant funds is contingent upon our receipt of your interim report.
