Rotary clubs contribute generously each year to the Foundation. At the end of each Rotary year RI credits an amount equivalent to 50% of the contribution made for the year ended 3 years earlier, to each District.

This is called the District Designated Fund, [DDF] and Districts use these funds for various projects, the most popular being to finance a second GSE outgoing team and Matching Grant support to clubs.

DDF not used at the end of a Rotary year is carried forward to the following year.

Clubs are encouraged to enquire and request for this support via a Matched Grant from the Foundation as this facility would not be possible without their contributions. The return on their funding for a project is compounded handsomely.
