Tips for a Successful Grant – provided by West Springfield Rotary Club

• 1. Connect with the District 7610 Staff - Global Grants Chair (Andrew

Wade) and the District Governor (Janet Brown) -- ensure there is District funding (DDF) available for your project.

• 2. Rotary International staff are also very helpful.
• 3. Get a firm commitment from partner clubs - a signed MOU on their

contribution and what you will do with them.

• 4. Clubs from other Districts can be helpful – but you will need to have

their District approve your grant application too before RI will begin the review process.

• 5. Avoid July if you can. Key leaders change with the new Rotary year

and this creates delay.

• 6. The RI application cannot move forward until your revenues and

expenses match exactly.
