District Grants

 
 
District grants offer clubs and districts flexibility in carrying out activities supporting the Foundation Mission. Districts are encouraged to distribute these grant funds for relatively short-term activities, either local or international. 
 
Districts can request up to 50% of their District Designated Fund (DDF) in one annual block grant that will, in turn, fund club service projects. Clubs apply for funds online through the district website’s Grants portal and all applications are due by 31 July.  In August, applications are reviewed at District and The Rotary Foundation (TRF) levels, then TRF authorizes the final project list and mails a check to D5840 for distribution.  The award from the DDF is between $250 and $2,500 per grant application (on a matching basis), and a club can submit no more than five District grant applications.
