The District has money for your Projects. But your Club must apply by 15 August 2019 to get these grants. So as you start putting together your project description, budgets, team members, make sure your Club qualifies for the District grants. Review the requirements on the District Grants page and check off the requirements. If any are not yet done, get your Club Rotary Foundation Chair to help you. Don't have someone assigned to the job? It time to do so.
The District Grants page has all the information and help guides for you. If you need more help - first contact your Area Assistant Governor, He or she can refer you to our District Grants Chair Dave Schribman. The District team will do everything possible to get your Club qualified and guide you in the application process.
Please remember, you only have until 15 August - yes two more weeks, to complete the qualification requirements and put in your grant requests. So hurry.
