District Grant Applications;
 
  We do have increased funding available for District Grants this coming year so can offer the support to more clubs. It is a great way to double the effectiveness of your club’s contribution to a project.
Here's a quick summary about grants
  • Up to $2500 for local projects and $5000 for international projects.  
  • Must be matched by the club
  • Must be completed within the Rotary Year
  • The project must be a new one and not already be started
  • Preference will be given to clubs that plan full club member involvement
  • The Rotary Club is responsible for the simple recording of payments and the grant funds and will be required to give a summary when the project is complete.
  • The club must be qualified to take part with the Rotary Foundation. We are as I have attended the District Assembly Foundation talk and will complete the webinar.
 
We look forward to Boards and Avenue of Service chairs discussing their project plans prior to the new Rotary year starting and making applications for Foundation assistance through District grants.  Applications should be in before the end of June 2022.
 
PDG Tony Castley has advised that the time for the district grant applications to the club can be extended to Friday June10th. Applications will be assessed and the most worthy will be forwarded to District by end June.
