Obtaining DDF For Your GG • The total amount of DDF for Global Grants will be divided into 4 equal amounts. One Fourth of the total DDF will be available to clubs on a quarterly basis. • Why? • Avoids “shark feeding” • Ensures that DDF will be available for the entire year • Any uncommitted DDF will be rolled over to the next quarter
How to Submit a GG to D5240 • Use GG form found on district website. Only electronic submissions will be reviewed. • The only way to get D5240 DDF is to submit it to the Global Grants Committee for review • Quarterly review of GGs by committee • August 15 • November 15 • February 15 • May 15 • The committee will only review completed grants for the purpose of DDF awards
How Will GGs Be Evaluated? • If there is enough DDF available in the quarter in which you submit your GG, it will be evaluated solely on TRF requirements for GGs • If the request for DDF exceeds the amount available in any given quarter, the GG will be evaluated on a merit basis
