Last year, twenty-five (25) projects were approved for District Grant funding and eighteen (18) scholarships for $1000 each were given to clubs for use by Year 11 - 12 students. This year we will have USD70,000 (i.e. AUD99,000) in our Block Grant to fund District Grants such as these.However, so far in the first half of this Rotary year, applications for grants have been surprisingly low. Only two District Grants totaling AUD5000 have been approved and thirteen (13) scholarships have been awarded.
Does your club need funds to get a new project up and running?
We know that the pandemic lockdowns have severely restricted the ability of Rotary clubs to carry out service projects, but now that things are opening up, a District Grant may be just the thing you need to help your club with a new project.
Please contact Foundation Grants Chair, Richard Blakeman to discuss your club’s project needs. Email: Foundation.Grants@rotary9800.org
