  4. District Simplified Grants • Administered by district leadership • DDF (maximum 20% of new DDF) • Local or international projects • District is sole sponsor

  5. Matching Grants • Matched funds for humanitarian endeavors • 1:1 match for DDF • .5:1 match for cash • Local and international sponsors • Matching Grants (US$5,000 - $25,000) • Competitive Matching Grants (US$25,001 - $150,000)

  6. 3-H Grants • Long-term, self-help benefits • Integrative approach • Rotarian and beneficiary participation • 2-4 years • Previous Matching Grant partnership • 10% minimum contribution

  7. How Does Timing Work Out?

  8. Business Cycle (3-H)

  9. How much District Designated Funds (DDF) was available for Matching Grants this year? • We had $137,959 in DDF available for Matching Grant projects this Rotary Year ($96,740 for this RY + $41,219 from last RY). • Our District will have used most of this allocated amount after submitting 14 MG applications, involving 17 Rotary Clubs from our District alone!

  10. How much District Designated Funds (DDF) was available for District Simplified Grants this year? • We had $39,203 in DDF available for District Simplified Grant projects this Rotary Year • Our District will have used all of this allocated amount – we received 24 DSG applications, involving 45 Rotary Clubs from our District!

  11. Where will all this $$$ go? For example: • Londrina, Brazil • Wum, Cameroon; • Sunyani Central, Ghana; • Pignon, Haiti; • Kathmandu, Nepal; • Turks and Caicos Islands; • Joniskis, Lithuania; • Rivne, Ukraine; • Odessa, Ukraine; • Smila, Ternipyl, and Bershad, Ukraine; • USA (Virginia); and • Luanshya, Zambia. Our District 7610 DDF will eventually end up in 10 countries around the world through Matching Grant Projects alone, not to mention countless local communities in our own District through our DSG Projects.

  12. Keys to Success • Project meets real needs of receiving community • Project plan with goals and anticipated outcomes • Rotarian, club, district, and community support • Effective partnerships and communication • Proper fiscal oversight – Rotarian participation and STEWARDSHIP!!!

  13. Appropriate Use of Funds • Humanitarian projects • Rotarian participation in projects • Development of Rotary networks • Spend consistently with TRF guidelines and approved application • Vigilant oversight

  14. Inappropriate Use of Funds • Construction/renovation • Purchase of land or buildings • Salaries of cooperating organization employees • Cooperating organization expenses • Post-secondary education • International travel (except VSG & 3-H)

  15. Inappropriate Use of Funds • Establishment of foundation or trust • Personal benefit • Duplication of TRF or Rotary program • Reimbursement of existing project • Excessive support of beneficiary • Inauguration parties or meetings

  16. Stewardship • TRF funds - sacred trust • Competent and thorough supervision • Standard business practice • Implementing projects as approved • Financial review of projects • Timely and complete reporting • Reporting irregularity to TRF
