District Simplied Grant

The District 6270 Simplified Grant (DSG) process is administered by the Grants/World Community Service Committee of the District, which is part of the larger Foundation Committee.

All grants must meet the standards of the RI Humanitarian Grant Guidelines. Only grant applications received prior to the deadline of June 1, 2009 will be considered for funding.

If awarded a DSG, two progress reports are required in November and in April, with a final written report submitted by May 30, 2009.
Preference will be given to applying clubs that have contributed to RI Foundation’s Annual Program Fund.
Grants are limited to one per club per year, addressing a humanitarian need. See attached listing for eligible and ineligible projects.
