FROM THE DISTRICT

District Grants Information from Myrna Inglis, Chair

In 2022 – 2023, Clubs have been busy with projects to assist the homeless, support Ukrainian refugees, ship containers of supplies to Eswatini and hopefully Nicaragua, purchase park benches and Christmas decorations for the town, provide a method of solar cooking to a refugee camp in Kenya and more.

The possibilities are endless but must meet Foundation eligibility found in the Rotary Foundation Terms and Conditions for District Grants document located in the documents section of the grants module.

Current status for 2022-2023 grant projects

• 3 projects need more information before requesting approval from the District Grants Committee.

• 17 projects have been approved.

• 8 projects have been funded.

Please complete the Individual Project Report or Final Report as soon as possible while the details are fresh in your mind. Send me a message when you are ready for the review. The deadline is May 31, 2023.

This can be an extremely busy time for District Grants as the proposal deadline for 2023-2024 projects is also May 31.

Looking ahead for

2023-2024

(a) The Qualification course is located under the Rotary Foundation heading on the District Website. The MOU is also there.

(b) Please remind your current President and your President-Elect to sign the MOU and send to Pat Cavan. Two clubs are already fully qualified, and 15 members have completed the course.

(c) When you do the course, please remember to submit your name and Club at the end so your course completion can be uploaded to the data base.

Do you need project ideas for your Club? Check out the links to previous year’s projects under Foundation on the website.

Just a reminder. The money for District Gants now is from a portion of the contributions to the Annual-Share Fund of three years ago.

So, let’s Contribute Today to ensure adequate funding for grant projects in 2025-2026.
