As Chairman Warren said at our March District WCS meeting:
- The 2010 DSG funds are used up, and MG funds are nearly used (per Christine Huot).
- The District Grants SubCommittee (GSC) will be ready to receive your grant applications beginning April 1 – for next Rotary year
- be sure they are signed by the incoming President
- After the Grants subcommittee is finished with review and approval at District level, the goal is to submit a package of grants to The Rotary Foundation on about July 1 – beating the rush.
- For Matching Grants, avoid Future Vision Pilot districts – those grants will be denied. Check the TRF list of Pilot districts.
- District Simplified Grants are available for both local and world community service projects. Submissions start July 1, 2010. As always, pick your partners carefully and be able to explain that stewardship of funds will occur.
- The amount of World Fund available for humanitarian grants is reportedly going to be more than last year; closer to “normal”.
So, start choosing good projects … now!
