District Simplified Grants

Our District Simplified Grants program gives clubs in our district a chance to apply for grants that may be used for local or international projects. The District Simplified Grants Program was established by the Rotary Foundation in 2003 as an answer to many requests by Rotary clubs to help fund easy-to-do smaller projects. For the first time, grant money could be obtained to do local community projects.

Each Rotary district is allowed to allocate up to 20% of its District Designated Funds (DDF) to the simplified grant program. Awards and administration of the funds are left up to the district leadership but the Rotary Foundation does require an annual report on the status of all grants awarded.

This money belongs to YOU; it is money that has come back to the district from contributions you made to The Rotary Foundation three years ago.
