District
6900 Grant Funds are available for projects that will begin during the
2024-2025 Rotary year. District Grants are $2,000 this year and are intended to
support a compelling project that will meet an identified need in a community
that falls within Rotary's seven areas of focus and that will
involve the active participation of Rotarians. The District must accept the
Community Grant application by May 15, 2024.
This grant
program is part of The Rotary Foundation (TRF). TRF distributes funds for
District Grants to Clubs, and the specific amount each year is based on how
much the District clubs contributed to the Rotary Annual Fund three years
earlier. Therefore, the dollar amount available for grants varies each year;
increased giving to the Annual Fund increases the amount available for Grants.
Grant Factors for Community Grants: Please provide limited information, but enough so we will understand the problem. Stats are not necessary. Example: Prior requirements - "62% of our area is below the poverty level and 43% of high school students read at an 8th-grade level". Now, it can read, "Due to poverty and lack of home support, our high school students struggle to read at grade level."
Four Grant Factors
Members of
the District Grant Subcommittee will review all District Grant applications per
TRF guidelines. TRF will then review and approve a single block District Grant;
funds may be spent on grant projects only after TRF approves the plan. Don't
hesitate to contact Kay Williamson, District Community Grants Chair, at
706.302.2614 if you have any questions.
