Local Projects via "CAP" Grants |
| Rotary District 6060's Community Assistance Program (CAP) provides an opportunity for our Rotary Clubs to use Rotary Foundation District Designated Funds (DDF) to undertake projects in local communities as a way of furthering Rotary's objectives. District Designated Funds are equal to 50% of the donations made by our Rotarians three years ago. |
| In the 2010-2011 Rotary Year, District 6060 is budgeting $25,000 from The Rotary Foundation to offer to our clubs for CAP grant projects, which meet the program criteria. We plan to offer this in the form of $1,000 matching grants, to be matched with a minimum of $1,000 of your own club funds, to help your club fund a project of $2,000 or more. |
| These funds can be used locally. They can also be used to ship humanitarian goods overseas or to fund small humanitarian projects overseas. These projects should be one-time only community service projects that involve the active, personal participation of Rotarians. The program is designed to encourage Rotarians to become more involved in their local communities and to strengthen their relationships with those communities. CAP projects must be Rotary Club sponsored, publicly identified as Rotary projects and of short duration. |

When will clubs and districts be able to apply for grants?
- The application can be downloaded below.
- It must be filled out completely and submitted to District Grants Chair Howard Schwadron after April 1, 2010, but before June 30, 2010.
- All applications must be filled out correctly and completely and it is recommended to submit them 2-3 weeks prior to the deadline, since most of them needed to be re-written before they qualified to be approved last year.
- Applications must adhere to all Foundation Grant requirements and be approved by our District Foundation Grants Committee.
- Criteria are available here.
- Every club that plans to apply for a CAP grant is required to have their 2009-2010 President, 2010-2011 President and the grantwriting Rotarian attend a Club Qualification Seminar.
- After June 30, 2010, all applications will be evaluated using these criteria and projects will be approved and we hope that checks can be issued by mid-August.
- Work must begin immediately and must be complete by the end of January 2011.
- The final report, along with copies of receipts for goods purchased, must be submitted by Feb. 28, 2011. Final Report Form (available soon)
