$144 thousand available, District Grant Applications, DRFC Chuck Arnason, Growing Local Economies, Supporting Education, Toronto
More grant applications, more $ requested:
The District Rotary Foundation Chair (DRFC), Chuck Arnason, and his crew of grant reviewers will really have their work cut out for them. In these notes sent to the writer, a clear image of the task ahead emerges.
DRFC Chuck reports that 49 clubs applied for 23 District Grants totaling $237,863.38. Unfortunately, the funds available for District 7600 Grants is only $144,000.00. Some grants may be fully funded and others may be awarded, but at somewhat reduced amounts.
Of the 23 grants, 12 are multi-club projects involving 38 clubs. There are 11 single club applications.
Half of the grant applications are “Supporting Education” in some form or another. Another 25% of the applications address “Growing Local Economies.”
Chuck hopes to announce the awardees by June 21 (TODAY!), 2018, and then he plans to escape to Toronto on the 22nd.
That is great news. Glad to see so much first round participation.
