District Simplified Grants 2009-10
The amount of money available for District Simplified Grants is totally based on the contributions to TRF Annual Fund three years prior. The DSG program really gives your members a-first-hand-look at how their support of the Rotary Foundation works "to do good in the world" - right here at home.
This year we had $33,800 available. Grant requests totaled nearly $58,000. Thanks to Grants Committee, and especially Chair Susan Hart (Columbia Metro), for making difficult choices.
