2014-2015 District Grant Application for District Grants are submitted to the Grants Chair by May 9, 2014 and presented on May 17, 2014 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, 2015.

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.
