We have a great opportunity ahead! By submitting your club’s request for District Designated Funds (DDF) by August 15, you not only meet our deadline, but also amplify your club’s service projects with matching district funds. These DDF resources can expand your projects’ reach and impact. It's well worth the effort.
To ensure a smooth process, here’s what you need:
- Submit your DDF request by August 15
- Maximum $5,000 per club.
- Your club must be certified (someone attended grant training or completed the Rotary Learning Center courses).
- Ensure your club has submitted the 2026–27 MOU to me prior to applying.
The Grants Committee needs time to review, as we aim to submit the block grant request to RI by the end of August. Let’s make the most of this opportunity to serve!
Thank you for your dedication. Reach out if you need any guidance.
Yours in Rotary Service,
