This year the initial deadline of is May 15, 2018 has been extended to June 1, 2018 to submit your district grants. Remember, the District will match on a 2 for 1 basis, so you can really extend your club dollars for a very worthy community project near you or even abroad.
The process is straightforward and the 3 primary forms that need to be submitted can be found on the left side of this page.
The 3 forms are:
- Club Memorandum of Understanding – simply have the current President and the President Elect sign the last page.
- Club Financial Management Plan Template – Enter your club name (2 locations) and date on the first page.
- 2018-2019 District Grant Application – Complete the application and secure 2 signatures. Instructions are provided in the document. Remember, the club must contribute their own funds at a rate of 1/3 of the total grant amount. So, if a grant amounted to $3,000, the club would need to provide $1,000 and the District would award $2,000. Be sure to provide evidence of estimated costs, such as an estimate from a vendor or a screenshot of an online merchant.
These forms can be submitted to:
Other club qualification requirements:
- At least 2 members must participate in grants training each year. The District conducted 3 sessions thus far, but if you can still take the online training here.
- Enter club Annual Fund giving goal in Rotary Club Central.
- Support the Rotary Foundation at least $50 per member.
- Submit final reports for all open District Grants from prior or current year (217-2018). If the grant is not yet complete, a progress report is needed.
- Maintain a grant bank account to receive and expend all grant funds.
Now is the time to get your share of the money!
