Your opportunity to qualify for matching money for your local or global project is coming soon.  District 6630 will receive $94,786 in District Designated Funds as part of the Annual Fund Share program. This amount is equal to 50% of our Rotary Foundation Annual Fund contributions from three years ago (2018-19).  We can allocate up to 50% ($47,393) for local projects.  The other 50% can be allocated for global grants, polio plus and peace fellow programs.
 
Among other things, two club members must attend a Grant Management Seminar (GMS) to be eligible for a matching grant.  Other qualifications include:
 
Your club must:
  • be current on Rotary International (RI) Dues
  • be current on District Dues
  • be current on reporting for any existing grants
  • have attained $40 in per capita giving, to The Rotary Foundation's Annual Fund,    prior to June 30, 2021 (based on club membership as of July 1, 2020).  Your per  capita giving status may be found on your Club Fundraising Analysis report from  Rotary International.
  • submit your grant inquiry for your local project no later than May 15, 2021.
 
Global Grant applications may be submitted at any time during the year.
 
We will be holding two GMSs in February.  Due to Covid19 restrictions, we will be holding the GMSs via Zoom.  Below is the registration link on ClubRunner.  You must register to be able to attend.
