Timelines

Open year round from a proposal and
a funding standpoint.
Timelines
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 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.
