District Simplified Grants Awarded
Grants awarded in recent years are listed below. Each year, the District received "District Designated Funds" (DDF)
from the Rotary Foundation. The amount of DDF each year is fifty percent of our donations to the annual programs
fund three years earlier. We are then authorized to use fifty percent of DDF for simplified grants.
