Global Grants: Change in DDF Matching Rules for Our District!

District Governor-Elect Don Fipps and the District Rotary Foundation Committee have approved a more generous District Designated Funds match of club cash contributions for Global Grants. For the 2023-2024 Rotary year, club cash contributions will be matched 150% or 1.5 times the cash contribution amount. For example, if a club contributes $5000 for a global grant, the club would be eligible for $7500 of DDF. This decision was made to make it easier for clubs to do Global Grants in light of recent changes in The Rotary Foundation World Fund match rules. The DDF limit for each club remains at $10,000 per club per Rotary year, which can be divided among several projects or used for a single project.

A revised copy of the Grant Policies for the 2023-2024 Rotary year is attached. The change described above is highlighted in yellow.

Two Rotary Clubs Support Red Shoe Day

Each year, teams of volunteers gather at intersections across San Diego and collect donations from morning commuters to support San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House. This is their largest community fundraiser and helps the Ronald McDonald House provide a “home away from home” for families with children in local hospitals. Joining this effort were the Rotary clubs of Chula Vista Rotary and La Jolla Golden Triangle. On May 24, these clubs donned in vibrant red set out to hustle motorists for donations to this worthy cause. Looks like they had a lot of fun doing something good for the community.
