District Grants
(DG)
The District Grant program
supports service activities and
humanitarian endeavors of your
Club at the local, national and
International levels.
DGs are funded solely by District Designated
Funds, which are funds that result from your
contributions to The Rotary Foundation's
(TRF) Annual Programs Fund.
DG is a single “block” grant provided to
district, which then divides the grant among
clubs based on their applications.
Thank you for your continued support !!!
REQUIREMENTS
Project must be new: Not a project that was funded
by an earlier District Grant.
Not a project that your Club has done in the past, or
has been doing annually.
It should be substantially different.
It could be a new thrust area of a larger project.
If in doubt, please ask.
REQUIREMENTS (Coninued)
Active Participation by Rotarian
Rotarians must be actively engaged in various
phases of the project.
Planning, organizing, fundraising, publicity,
execution, reporting and review.
Analysis: What went right and what went wrong.
The project must not be a simple pass-through, in
which funds are simply awarded to another
organization.

Submission of Final Report
• Final Reports should be submitted online to the Rotary Foundation.
• All Final Reports should be approved
before new funds are released.
Reasons for the delay in disbursing District Grants
this year under the new grant management system.
 Lack of timely submission of the Final Reports
from RY 2011 -2013.
 We still don’t have Final Reports of DSGs given
last year.
 For future Dist. Grants, there should be100%
submission and approval by the Rotary
Foundation.
There will be minor changes in the
future District Grant Application, to
make the web-based process seamless
and transparent.
