It’s time to start for a Rotary Foundation district grant for 2024-25. The deadline for completed and signed applications is June 1, 2024. The instructions for making an application and the terms of funding were sent to your club president, president-elect, and Foundation chair in February.
Please note that the amount of grant money available to a club in tier 2 has gone up this year, thanks to the generosity of Rotarians to Annual Fund-SHARE three years ago.
A grant amount of $1,425 is assured in this tier to all clubs that meet TRF and district criteria for a grant. The maximum grant available to a club remains $5,000 but comes with stricter funding criteria than tier 2, so please read the instructions carefully. A club whose SHARE giving was less than $100/capita in 2021-22 (the funding year for this grant cycle) is not eligible to apply in tier 3. Please remember to send your application for signatures in order to finalize the application process. Two club members must sign applications: the grant manager (project contact person) and the 2024-25 club president. The 2024-25 club president cannot be the grant manager. The grant manager should not be an employee or Board member of a cooperation organization whose services are part of the project. If multiple clubs are involved, all the 2024-25 presidents of those clubs must sign. Make your application at https://www.matchinggrants.org.
The district grant committee is here to advise you. Don’t hesitate to contact subcommittee chair Marianne Barker at marianne5617@gmail.com.
If your club has an open grant from the current year, we need your final report (or progress report if the project is not yet completed) no later than May 15, 2024. Clubs that aren’t current in their reporting may lose the opportunity to receive a grant in the new cycle.
Thank you for your participation in Rotary Foundation District Grants and your financial support of the Rotary Foundation.
