CEP developed the Applicant Perception Report (APR) as a companion to the Grantee Perception Report.® Based on a separate, shorter survey, the APR allows foundations to understand the candid perspectives of declined applicants on a number of important dimensions. Individual reports include comparative data based on applicant perceptions of more than 25 foundations.
