Hello to the Champion Rotarians of District 5830!You will see more about this elsewhere in this month’s newsletter, but each of you needs to congratulate yourselves and your fellow club members on the further increase in Rotary Foundation Giving which occurred during 2025-2026. All of us should be proud! We have reason to celebrate!
Now, however, we also need to turn our attention to the use of the grant funds from our District.
Our district has a maximum district grant amount of $51,221. Your club’s share is shown on Club Runner under Forms.
Many clubs have already sent in their Club Project Grant proposals that were due by June 1st.
Regrettably, some have not. To avoid everyone calling to see if their Club submitted a request, the following clubs have substantial funds that could be used through a Club Project Grant, but we have not to our knowledge yet received a proposal.
This list is not to call anyone out, but it is to serve as a reminder that if the paperwork was begun but not submitted, it has not been received, and you cannot get the money unless you submit the proposal.
So, if you want to share in your part of the $51,221 the below you need to get in the paperwork no later than midnight August 8, 2026.
