  4. You may have only one DSG grant project at a time. You must first finish any active DSG grant projects prior to applying for a new DSG grant. Completion of a DSG grant project is accomplished by submitting a final report on the current project.

    District Simplified Community Grant Application (DOC Version) This Microsoft Word version lets you type directly onto the computer form.
    District Simplified Community Grant Application (PDF Version)This PDF version is for those who do not use Microsoft Word.

  3. For all other Rotary Foundation Grants (Matching and 3-H Grants) go to the Rotary Foundation section of the Rotary International's web site. Disregard all references to District Simplified Grants on the Rotary International Web site, as it does not apply to club level applications.

  4. Review all of the documents listed above and note any questions you have. Once you have reviewed all of the forms and instructions, contact your assigned DSG Grants Committee member via email to set up a telephone meeting to discuss the DSG Grant process. Do this before you fill out any forms. This telephone meeting will enable you to proceed through the DSG Grant process much more quickly. The email links for the DSG Grants Committee members are HERE. Find your club and select the email link for the DSG Grants Committee member. NOTE: you will have to login as a Guest to see the email links.

  5. Once you have approval from your DSG Grant Committee contact to proceed with the application process, continue with the steps below.
  6. Review the grant application form you printed from the steps above. Using the Microsoft Word version lets you type directly onto the computer form. You can then either print the completed form and mail it OR save it and mail it as an attachment to your Subcommittee contact. You will need to use your own email program to mail attachments. Using the PDF version of the grant application will require you to fill in the application by hand and mail it.
  7. Rotary Foundation manual 144-EN explains how to fill out the form.
  8. Applications may be submitted at the beginning of each Rotary year (July 1st) and they will be reviewed and approved on a first-come, first-served basis.
