Report Creation – Individuals Served
10
• Based on population demographics that you selected in your application, so the fields will vary from the data you're collecting for the Data Outcomes Worksheet we request for the final report.
• TIP: Have your application in front of you so you know which demographics of people you said your project would serve with specific intervention methods.
• The Individuals Served – Total page aggregates the information you reported in the preceding pages, but asks for information about the stage of diagnosis for clients served, as well as numbers of breast cancers detected or treated.
• A separate Individuals Served table must be created for each service you said Komen grant funds would be used for in your application.
• Scroll right/left at the bottom of the table to enter the number of people for each demographic cluster
Individuals Served- Tips & Tricks
1. Please create one ‘Individuals Served’ table for each ‘service’ category funded by your
Komen affiliate grant and/or listed as an objective in your application. To create multiple
tables, click on the “Save” button to save your existing table, then click on the “Add” button
in the upper right-hand corner.
2. If you need more rows for any one table, hitting “Save” after all the rows have been
completed will create more rows.
3. If you serve an individual who could fit into multiple named groups, choose the category that
the individual would identify with first. If that information is unavailable, choose the category
that corresponds with a target population you identified in your application.
4. Unspecified (used for different categories) – means that either the individual didn’t want to
report on that data or you did not collect that information.
5. Every column should be completed - County, Race and Ethnicity, General Population (age
range), Gender, Named Groups and # Served. If, for some reason, you did not collect this
information, please provide a brief explanation in the relevant Objective page that is related
to the Individual Served table.

Report Creation – Work Plan (Objectives)
13
• You will be indicating how far along you are for each goal for each objective that was in your original application.
• TIP: Have your application in front of you so you know what your goals were for each objective.
• To choose which goal you're reporting on, select from the drop-down menu in the upper-right corner, then click on "go"; you'll see the objective & goal names pre-populate
• Enter requested information about how far along you are in completing this objective. There is a 500-character limit for each of the questions asking about goals that aren’t on track and the measurement tools you’re using to evaluate progress. Repeat for each of the goals from your application.
Tip: % complete: Enter a percentage based on the follow formula: A ÷ B, whereA = total number of unique individuals to receive the service/intervention during the grant term;B = original goal number of unique individuals stated in your original grant application
Tip: SAVE info for one objective before choosing new objective from drop-down menu.
Report Creation – Budget, Education Materials
14
• BUDGET
• This form will pre-populate from the budget from your application; you need to provide figures for funds expended to date in each category
• NOTE: Grantees have discretion to move up to 5% of total grant funds across categories without requesting a budget change through the grant-amendment process SO LONG AS equipment costs do not end up exceeding $5,000 and/or indirect costs do not exceed 5% of direct costs.
• If your project is looking like you will need more flexibility beyond 5% of your total grant for how Komen funds are spent, you'll need to submit an amendment request, with a budget change request, through GeMS. Contact the affiliate about the best timing to complete the budget change request to minimize GeMS functionality problems.
• Use the budget justification narrative box at the bottom of the page to explain any category that is not 50% spent down. Plans to address over/under-spending in any category should also be explained on the Narrative page, unforeseen challenges box (500-character limit).
