TRF invests the money our District contributed for 3 years, and then makes it available to us in the form of Grants to support our local and international projects. Contributions are made by clubs and individual Rotarians to the Annual Programmes Fund. 3 years later: 50% is credited to our District 9910 Account – the District Designated Fund (DDF) - for use in district and global grants 50% is credited to TRF’s World Fund which funds Programmes and Operations, including TRF contributions to Global Grants . The funds available for projects are completely reliant on the contributions made by clubs and individuals 3 years earlier! • The magic of The Rotary Foundation (TRF)!
