Grant Management Seminar
How is my club’s share of the
$80,000 determined?
 Each club’s Annual Fund contributions from 2013-14,
2014-15 and 2015-16 are averaged
 That average is weighed against the total three year
average for all clubs in the district and your club’s
percentage of that total is determined
 That percentage is applied to the $80,000 available
for District Grants

Grant Management Seminar
Example
 In the last three years my club and its members gave
an average of $5,250 per year to Annual Fund Share
 The three year average of Annual Fund Share giving
for the entire district was $400,000
 My club’s percentage of that $400,000 is 1.31%
 1.31% of the available 80,000 is $1,048
