DISTRICT GRANTS MESSAGE FOR JUNE 2023

Myrna Inglis, District Grants Chair

This message for the June Foundation Newsletter marks the end of my four-year term as District Grants Chair.

I have had the pleasure to serve with four District Governors, two Foundation Chairs, and about 150 members who were and are qualified to administer District Grants.

By the end of May, I will have funded $161,441 in District Grant funds for 125 projects. See the chart below.

The grant interactions represent the number of different active, funded, and cancelled grant projects on which I interacted with grant administrators.

These grant funds represent projects valued at approximately $500,000 or more.

I want to thank all Clubs for the varied and interesting projects that they have proposed and carried out both in our local communities and abroad. These projects are posted in the Rotary Foundation area on the District Website.

Everyone needs tech support, and Martin Ward and Dennis Dinsmore never failed to come through when I wanted to develop a teaching tool, change a document on the website, or when revisions were needed to an existing information sheet.

I want to thank my husband, Morgan, for supporting me and never complaining when I spent the afternoon on the computer working on grants or when I took my laptop on vacation.

You will be reading this after May 31, so all final reports will be in, District Grants will have been funded and the Proposals for 2023-24 have been added to the Grants Module on the District Website.

Please welcome Pat Cavan, my successor, from the Wiarton Rotary Club.

Thank you to all members of District 6330 who support the Rotary Foundation Annual-Share Fund which makes all this grant activity happen.

 This report was prepared May 12, 2023, and the amount represents $30,904 paid out and the rest pending on receiving the final reports,

Thank you to all the Grant Administrators. Your attention to detail and dedication to the projects was very evident in all your reports. Thanks for all the work you do for Rotary and for District Grants.

Yours in Rotary Service
