  24. Issues faced in 2010-2011 Clubs with outstanding reports, project lead not assuming responsibility Confusion about Member Access Finding partners and fundraising (time consuming) Online system not user friendly, slow Clubs not paying attention to DDF requirements Host DGs and DRFCs taking too long to authorize online Proposals Clubs taking too long to submit their application, thus tying up DDF Clubs not listening to Grants Committee advice Clubs not communicating with their partners/GC/TRF Rotary District 7620 Grants Committee

  25. Case Studies You finally found a host club in a war and drought ravaged African country. This Rotary Club has struggled but is in desperate need of a Global Grant and they need you to partner with them. You agree and spend over 200 hours of project design, etc. Your Global Grant application is submitted to TRF and then you find out the club has 3 outstanding Final Reports. Your Global Grant is officially on hold until the Final Reports have been accepted by the TRF. Your host partner appears indifferent to this issue. What do you do? Rotary District 7620 Grants Committee

  26. Case Studies You have a reliable host club, a great sustainable project, a responsive cooperating organization and an international club that supports you on every level. Your problem? You don’t have the resources to raise $50,000 in 6 months. What do you do? Rotary District 7620 Grants Committee

  27. Case Studies You are engaged in a complex multi-year Global Grant which involves over $300,000 of club cash contributions and multiple district DDF from 5 countries. Interim reporting has been poor or non-existent and despite repeated attempts to get all countries to adhere to reporting guidelines, you have nothing but empty promises . You cannot apply for further grants until the reports are are in good order. Disappointed and de-moralized, your club decides it would be best to sever ties with all of your partners. Is this the best course of action to take? Rotary District 7620 Grants Committee

  29. Club Memorandum of Understanding Good for one year Entire club responsible for use of grant funds Club must disclose any potential conflict of interest Club must cooperate with all district and TRF audits Club must certify 3 members Club must establish succession plan Rotary District 7620 Grants Committee

  30. The club MOU is a legal document between the club and the district. By signing this agreement, the club president and president elect are authorizing it, which enters the club into a legal agreement with TRF to abide by all Rotary Foundation and Rotary International policies.
