What is a District Managed Grant?
District Managed Grants (DMGs) support local and international humanitarian service projects. They are funded through a Rotary Foundation Grant awarded to District 7930. These grants are managed by the District 7930 Foundation Committee and the District Managed Grant Subcommittee. Any questions should be directed to the chairmen of these district committees.

Who can apply?
Rotary clubs from District 7930 who have completed the 2017-2018 Grants Management Seminar and filed their signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the District Foundation Chairman may apply. The clubs must be in good standing with Rotary International. This includes payment of dues and being current on reporting for previous grants.

Medford Rotary Donates to Food Pantry
The Medford Rotary Club is happy to present a donation to Pastor Ronald Pierre of the Evangelical Church of Holiness for their Food Pantry.  Pastor Ronald Pierre joined the Rotarians for lunch and was presented the donation for the Food Pantry, which is in need of a new refrigerator.  Pastor Pierre said "the generous  gift certificate to Home Depot will help toward this purchase."  He also thanked the Medford Club for donating holiday food baskets to his church for the past several years.  The Church in turn distributes these food baskets so families in need can have a real holiday meal. 
 
Anne Powers, Past President met Pastor Pierre at a Rotary District Assembly along with other Non-Profits who are in need of donations, or hands on service.  She was happy to see that we could join with one of these non-profits right here in Medford.  It was a win - win situation for both the Food Pantry and Medford Rotary.
