D6330 Use of Government of Canada Funds
(from the December 1, 2018 Issue of the Zone "Beyond Borders" Newsletter - read the full issue here)
This article written by PDG Doug Burnard, DRFC District 6330, Zone 24 East is featured in this month's Zone Newsletter - take a look to learn more about how our Canadian clubs can take advantage of  Government of Canada grants for international projects.
 
Clubs in District 6330 have been doing International Projects for many years through the Matching Grants Program and now the Global Grants program. D6330 has always been a strong supporter of The Rotary Foundation so the DDF was enough to provide support for the International projects, at least one Ambassadorial (now Global) Scholar annually and some District Grants.
 
The change in The Rotary Foundation guidelines, which provide for up to 50% of the District Designated Fund can be made available to Clubs for District Grants has resulted in an increase from a few community projects to 40 or more annually in the District. Over 50% of D6330 Clubs participate in one or more District Grants.
