District Grant Management Training Update As a reminder, to be eligible to apply for a District Grant for the 2020-2021 Rotary year, your President Elect (the person who will be President during 2020-2021) must attend a District Grant Management Training during the 2019-2020 Rotary year and your Club’s Grant Chair or Foundation Chair must have attended the District Grant Management Training during the last three years. The District Grant Management Seminar covers all of the requirements and procedures for obtaining a District Grant. The third and final District Grant Management Training was scheduled for April 18 in Princeton. It has been rescheduled as a 1 hour Zoom meeting. All Rotarians signed up to attend the April 18 training will receive a set of handouts and instructions for signing onto the Zoom meeting a few days before the Training. If you have not already registered for this Training, please do so as soon as possible on the District website. Go to https://portal.clubrunner.ca/50144. Log in and then click on Member Area in the top banner. In the light blue banner click on Events and then click on Event Planner. Pick the April 18 District Grant Management Training Seminar. Then look for Register and click on View Registration Form. Note – there is no charge for this Seminar. Registration for this Seminar closes on April 15. Please note - District Grants are intended for small-scale, short-term activities that address humanitarian needs in your community. All Clubs in District 6420 are encouraged to apply for a District Grant. A maximum of $1500 will be available to each Club in District 6420 for the 2020-2021 Rotary year. Matching club funds are required, so most grants will total about $3000. It is hard to imagine a community in District 6420 that would not benefit from a $3000 Rotary project. If you have any question, contact the District 6420 Grants Sub-Committee Chair – Laura Kann – from the Princeton Rotary Club at 678-315-2406 or LKK1@comcast.net. |
