District Designated Fund Projects

Greetings Fellow Rotarians,

On the International Service Section of the District website, we have created a tab for District Designated Fund (DDF) projects.

Our goal is to encourage small and medium size clubs with limited DDF allotment to post their project(s) in this section so that other clubs might be open to using their limited funds to support another club’s worthwhile project.

We know that every club has “their special project” but we also know that there is Strength in Numbers.

  • 13 clubs have less than $500 in DDF allotment
  • 11 club have $500 to $1,000 in DDF allotment
  • 20 clubs have between $1,000 to $2,000 in DDF allotment

If you’d like to post your project on the website, please supply us a brief overview:

  1. Club
  2. Title of project (if you have one)
  3. One to two sentences on the project
  4. Funding goal 
  5. Any image or photo

A couple of important reminders:

  • The final Grants Qualification Webinar will be provided on Tuesday February 11, 2020 @ 5:30pm. 
  • You can register for the final webinar from this link:
  • February 11:   https://rotarydistrict5240.org/event/final-2020-21-club-grants-qualification-webinar/
    • Club Qualification:
      1) Clubs must have two members attend and participate in a District Qualification session.  The session is done by Webinar and is about 60 minutes in length. One of the attendees must be the President Elect.

2) Club must be qualified and certified in order to receive District Grants and Global Grants.

3) An unincorporated club must agree and adhere to the provisions of the DRFC District and Global Grants Policy.

4) An incorporated club must agree and adhere to the provisions of the DRFC District and Global Grants Policy with a club resolution

5) As of Jan 15, 2020; a total of 49 Clubs have been Qualified through previous (3) sessions; and (8) Clubs have been Certified. To get Certified, these Clubs still need to sign and submit the Club Memorandum of Understanding.  

We look forward to posting your project and spreading the word of good deeds throughout our district.
