DESCRIPTION:

For the Rotary year 2017-18 the District 5020 Community Grants (DCG) committee will run a test procedure. We will accept up to 2 grants in each of British Columbia (BC) and Washington (WA). (There wil be four total grants).  This granting opportunity is ONLY applicable to Summer Programs targeted to low income, free or reduced lunch students on summer break.  Summer literacy or nutrition or combination programs will be able to begin their project at the start of summer break in 2017, prior to the start of RY 2017-18.  

The grant will be reimbursed after all reporting is completed during RY 2017-18.

All standard application and documentation requirements remain.  This test experiment is a District Community Grant. The key difference is you will receive grant approval and begin the project prior to the beginning of RY 2017-18.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES:

Submission procedures and a detailed application checklist will be provided at Foundation training.  This Summer Literacy/Nutrition DCG application opens November 1, 2016.  Grants are first come first served by merit.
