The Rotary International District 5440
Simplified Grants Program
The Simplified
Grants Program was adopted by the Rotary Foundation Trustees to provide an
opportunity for Rotarians to use District Designated Funds (DDF) to undertake
projects in their own communities or in other regions or countries. DSG will
provide funding for community or international service projects that involve the
active, personal participation of Rotarians. The projects serve as a means of
enhancing the community and improving the lives of the less fortunate.
Application Process
Applications will be accepted from 1 July to 30 June each Rotary year.
Applications will be considered as received by the District Simplified Grants
Committee. Completed applications shall be forwarded to:

Project Criteria
Requests
for DSG awards must meet the following criteria:
Projects must respect the
wishes of the receiving community and those groups within the community which
will be beneficiaries of the project. If the project is in a foreign country,
contact must be made with a local Rotary Club in the recipient country, unless
no such Club exists in that community or in an adjacent area. In the latter
instance, involvement of a respected NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) which
is acquainted with and active in the area and which will assist in its
implementation will suffice.
