Timelines Timelines District Grants District Grants
2015-2016 District Grant Application for District Grants are submitted to the Grants Chair by May 8, 2015 and presented on May 16, 2015 to the Committee by the Clubs in person. The committee then reviews the projects and assigns a value to each. Projects may not start until notification by the Grant’s Committee. Projects for must be completed by March 31, 2016.
Significance of March 31stSignificance of March 31st We have had a difficult time getting final
reports on District Projects. Closing off the projects at the end of March will allow for final reports and new proposals to be done prior to the start of the new Rotary year. This will lead to a more consistent flow of money and getting approved for the District Block Grant much faster giving the Club more time to get their project completed.
