The IMPACT Tool is Now Ready for 2024 Subgrantee Reporting!

All Formula Administrators should have received an email on Monday February 3, 2025 announcing the official launch of the IMPACT tool. This email provides information regarding how to access and use the tool. If you are a Formula Administrator and you did not receive this announcement please reach out to VAWA MEI at vawamei@maine.edu.

Formula Administrators are now required to submit subgrantee data directly to VAWA MEI via the new web-based subgrantee performance reporting tool. Calendar year 2023 subgrantee data collection is now closed. Calendar year 2024 subgrantee data will be due March 30, 2025.

For calendar year 2024 data, Administrators will need to download their Administrator’s PDF form from this website (click on “STOP Formula Administrator Reporting Form” below) and submit their completed form as an attachment in JustGrants by March 30, 2025.
