APPROVED 2016-2017 GRANTS
District grants give Rotarians freedom in determining how to best spend funds donated to The Rotary Foundation by the clubs in their district. Each Rotary year, districts may apply for one district grant, which can be used to support one or more projects, based on the interest and needs of that district’s clubs. This grant is funded with District Designated Funds (DDF).
Your district may request up to half of its available DDF, which in turn represents half of the district's Annual Fund donations from three years earlier. This system, known as SHARE, enables Rotarians to benefit from the short-term investment of their donation dollars for projects of interest to them.
