Cheryle Marriner attended the District Grant Qualifying Seminar in Ballarat - Sunday 22 Oct. The process for applying for a Global or District grant is similar to previous years. There is however, a new requirement to undertake a 'survey' of the community's needs as part of the application process. The survey can be done by a local Rotary Club close to the project or by visiting the community and conducting the survey prior to applying for the grant. 469K was contributed to the Rotary Foundation last Financial Year by District 9780 (Our District). There are two main types of Grants which we can have access to: 1. Global Grants - Minimum Grant $US15K and Maximum Grant $US200K 2. District Grants - Maximum Grants $AUS3,000 per year. - Applications must be in by March as they close on 15th April
- Applications are reviewed and approved in Jun
- The funding is sent from the U.S. in July to the Districts
- Payment to the clubs is made by reimbursement only.
- For further information Brian Humphries is able to help out.
- Projects must be sustainable and have an exit strategy
- Projects must be connected to a local Rotary Group and have active Rotarian involvement at the local end.
- An MOA must be signed by the President and President Elect - these will be sent out to Clubs in District 9780 shortly.
We will be qualified to access Grants - For more information see Cheryle |
