District
5360 Grants Committee
District 5360
has created a District Grants Committee (DGC) as
required by The Rotary Foundation in the Future Vision initiative.
Our District
is one of the 100 Pilot Districts which are proving out new procedures
for the use of SHARE funds entering the District. SHARE
Funds,
also known as District Designated Funds (DDF) may be accessed by
qualified clubs in our District as part of the new DISTRICT
GRANTS and GLOBAL GRANTS. These Grants apply domestically and internationally
for projects, scholarships and vocational training teams.
Mandate
-
Qualify clubs annually to be eligible for District
and Global Grants from Rotary Foundation
-
Determine assignment of District SHARE allocation
(DDF) among eligible grant types
-
Report to clubs and the DG and District Foundation
Committee on use of these District Designated Funds
-
Keep records for all District Designated Funds
-
Report & resolve misuse of SHARE funds
-
Educate clubs on Foundation Grants and Community
Initiative Programs(Alberta Lottery funds)
-
Advise clubs in completion of their forms and
reports and advise clubs in the management of their projects,
if requested.
-
Liaise regularly with clubs in the District
regarding information, updates, and changes related to DDF
allocation of District
and Global Grants.
You are encouraged to educate yourself on the various
types of grants and the role of the DGC by studying the materials
accessed
via the DOCUMENTATION tab
above. District Designated Funds are generated by donations
originating in our District; let’s
make sure we put them to good use. Start your project planning
early!
