3/22/26 Update
Our Lightning Round of Global Grant Champions presenting their fundraising pitch to Clubs with gDDF on 3/19 was well attended!
Here's the link to the zoom recording -- please use this password to access it: RYb?8?p!
The presentations from 14 Global Grants can be found at this link. Please continue to collaborate across our active Clubs! Contact each other, increase our successful record of active Global Grants in all Areas of Focus, and improve the learning among our members! Our mantra: DDF ... Use it or Lose it!! Jon Winston is waiting for your DDF transfer forms!!
And, the international learning and fun continues:
This Saturday, 3/28/26 9 to 10:30 am Pacific: our Grants Review Subcommittee Training session will present and discuss Stewardship of Global Grants. This training is critical as most of our Global Grants go off the rails because we goodhearted Rotarians just want to help! Managing a project to achieve its objectives, within budget, AND measuring it will need to be in the final report! Learning this before the GG is designed should reduce the headaches at the end!
Please join your Rotarian colleagues this coming Saturday, 3/28 9 to 10:30 am!
