We encourage you to keep donating to The Rotary Foundation (TRF) - and we share information along the way about some of our projects - but we wanted to give you access to reports show what TRF allowed us to do in 2021-22 in our communities - and what we did and continue to do on the five Global Grant projects approved in 2021-22. Click either of the links above to get some specifics

On the Global Grant side, last Rotary year, District 6900 invested $292,545 DDF of your generous Rotarian foundation donations to support international projects selected by individual District 6900 Clubs, and groups of clubs, to build better futures for us all.  Our global grant activities were supported by more than 35 D6900 clubs.  The five grants reflected Clean Water & Sanitation, Literacy, Disease Prevention and Economic Development areas of focus. District 6900 GG DDF Funds also funded 2 Global Grant Scholarships for postgraduate studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution and Disease Prevention.  Additionally D6900 hosted a student from Japan who is in the US studying Public Health.  

"Doing Good Globally" allowed D6900 Rotarians to touch and change the lives of 28,583 people around the world. and support projects valued at more than $750,469.00.  Thanks to everyone involved, over 28,000 lives were changed last year at an average cost of $10.23 per person.  Thanks to all of you, Doing Good in the World continues to inspire us all.  Some simple facts about how we got the money for 2021-22:

1. All money was given to TRF by generous Rotarians in District 6900 during Rotary Year 2018-2019.
2. TRF invested the donations for two to three years, using the earnings plus 5% for foundation operation.
3. After three years, TRF returns the remaining donated funds to District 6900 in two ways: A) 50% of the funds are sent to the District as District Designated Funds (DDF) and used to fund District and Global Grants, and B) 50% goes to the TRF World Fund to be used to match District 6900 DDF $1 for $1 inside Global Grants.

District 6900 is allowed to set aside 3% of their annual DDF funds for administrative expenses and up to 20% of the funds for "Contingency Expenses (for things requiring funding that were unanticipated at the time the grant application was submitted).  We do this each year and, at Rotary year end, donate all funds remaining unspent to Polio eradication.
