Register please by March 9 (Saturday)

The Grant Management Seminar is on March 16 and any club wanting to receive a District Grant or be a participant in a Multi-Club District Grant must have at least one person (more are welcome) attend the GMS.

So be sure that your club is in the game! Go to dacdb.com calendar and register for Pete’s sake.

You can take a look at and download the training documents that will be used at d7600foundation.org. https://d7600foundation.org/grants-scholarships-2/

Two of the documents are the Memorandum of Understanding or MOU and the Top Ten Tips for applying for a grant.

A little news you can use!

SuAnne Hardee Bryant (R) Grants Chair

Clubs, have the members you assigned to work on your 2018-19 district or global grant application register for the Grant Management Seminar (GMS) which will be held on March 24, 2018,   Registration is at the dacdb.calendar by scrolling down to the March 24th date.  It will again be held at the Colonial Heritage Club in Williamsburg, Virginia.  It will be from 8:30 until Noon and the price of $25 includes a Full Southern Breakfast.

 

It is important that a club send at least a couple of grant assigned people so that if one person moves, gets sick, or goes off on a honeymoon, there is another club member who knows the drill.

Last year a very well known club was declined on the first pass. Why?  Because the grant writer had not submitted the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding).  Why? Because the grant writer was not one of the three people from the club who attended the GMS.  Happy ending though, the club received its grant on the second pass.

Remember that the grant application process is totally online.  No FEDEX, no faxes, no personal hand deliveries to the Grants Grants Chair.  If you want money for that special project, accept all the training and suggestions you can get.

A GMS webinar will be held in April but it is still in the planning stages and the registration is notyet available for it.

A Wrap Up of Last Week’s Questions

Everything worth knowing is worth repeating!

Three primary questions this week:

1.  What are the responsibilities of the Foundation Advocates?

2.  Where can I find the 2015 -2016 MOU?

3.  Why hasn’t a Paul Harris Fellow donor in my club received his recognition form The Rotary Foundation?

Responsibilities of Foundation Advocates:

We have dealt with the first question at the District Team Training Seminar, the Presidents-Elect Seminar, we likely will do so again at the District Team Training Seminar on April 25th, on this blog and on our website.  In one basic sentence … The role of the Foundation Advocate is to coordinate with Club Foundation Chairs (CFCs)  in his or her assigned area, the District Rotary Foundation Committee (DRFC), and with the complimentary Area Governor to assist clubs in setting and recording the clubs’ Foundation giving goals, provide information on applying for district and global grants, and meeting the Foundation giving goals set by the clubs.

To accomplish those duties the Foundation Advocates must reach out and interact with the CFCs, DRFC, and with Area Governors for given areas.  This topic has been addressed before in this blog below and in the other venues mentioned.  For your convenience  here is a link to the D7600AdvocatesRoleResp-2013cdw_1 and it can be found on the Resources and documents page of this blog, on the Advocates page on http://www.rotary7600.org.

2015-2016 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU):

Here it is … 2015-16 District Grant Club MOU (1).  It and other important grant related documents are located on the Programs/Grants page on http://www.rotary7600.org and on the Foundation Resources page of the http://www.rotary7600.org.  It is also on the Resources & Documents page of this blog.

This question was prompted by a hardworking CFC because his President-Elect professed to not knowing where it was.  One issue which arose was that on http://www.rotary7600.org navigation may be a hurdle.  On the home page there is a menu on the left hand side of the page.  One scrolls down to ‘The Rotary Foundation’.  If you click on that page you get the nice page with Probs’ picture on it and do read that page.  To get to the other pages under ‘The Rotary Foundation’ what one must do instead is let the cursor hover over ‘The Rotary Foundation’.  This will bring up a menu of six pages. That is where you will find the ‘Programs/Grants’ and the ‘Foundation Resources’ pages. Move to the page you want and click.

Paul Harris Fellow Recognition Time-Frame:

This question needs follow up.  You are the local brain trust … how long does it normally take for the Paul Harris Pin and Certificate to arrive at a club? Does it come to the Club address or to the President’s address?

Waiting to hear from you.
