District Simplified Grants

While many of the projects funded through The Rotary Foundation are internationally based, many local projects are also supported. Districts can request up to 20 percent of District Designated Funds (DDF) for a grant to support multiple projects locally or internationally.

One example of a local project supported by TRF is Children's Opportunity Grant 1359, which was awarded in June 1999. The Rockdale County, Georgia Rotary Club raised about 90% of the funds necessary to build the first artificial turf baseball complex for disabled children in the country in Conyers, Georgia. $10,000 in grant funds helped to establish the Miracle League baseball facility and to obtain the necessary equipment. The field opened in spring 2000.
