History Log Entries 15-May-23 by Larry Gebhardt System Entry: Creation of project page. 16-May-23 by Marianne Barker Thank you for pursuing a Rotary Foundation grant through District 5400. There are a couple of issues with your grant application. Per the Terms & Conditions for Rotary Foundation District Grants, "District grants may not be used to pay for...the operating, administrative or indirect program expenses of another organization" D5400 will not be able to approve this project as proposed. Also, this is a Tier 3 application. A club must have had at least $100/capita in giving to Annual Fund-SHARE of The Rotary Foundation in the 2020-21 funding year to apply in this tier. Your club's giving was only $48.37/capita that year. Maximum DDF available to you in 2023-24 is $1,381. 16-May-23 by Larry Gebhardt System Entry: Project sent for club signatures. 16-May-23 by Larry Gebhardt System Entry: Project signed by Larry Gebhardt. 16-May-23 System Entry System Entry: Project signed by Vince Bowen. 16-May-23 by Marianne Barker System Entry: Signature Process cancelled by user. 25-May-23 by Larry Gebhardt Updated May 25, 2023 25-May-23 by Larry Gebhardt System Entry: Project reverted to "Published". 25-May-23 by Larry Gebhardt System Entry: Project is now "Fully Pledged". 25-May-23 by Larry Gebhardt System Entry: Project sent for club signatures. 25-May-23 by Larry Gebhardt System Entry: Project signed by Larry Gebhardt. 25-Jun-23 by Marianne Barker The D5400 grants committee met on 6/24 and wants to include your project in the district's block grant application to TRF. However, it is concerned about the extent of "active Rotarian involvement" in the project, a requirement of The Rotary Foundation. On the administration side of the description tab, click "edit project page". In the addendum box write a statement being very specific as to how many of your club members will be involved and specifically what they will do to support this project. Statement needed by June 30, 2023. Meanwhile spend no money or sign any contracts that would incur costs, as you cannot be reimbursed by TRF funds for expenses incurred prior to approval of the block grant by TRF. We'll notify your club when the grant is approved. Thank you! 13-Jul-23 by Marianne Barker The Rotary Foundation approved the District 5400 block grant on July 11, 2023. We’ll send your grant award as soon as the block grant is funded by TRF. You can safely incur costs now. If you have questions or need help, please contact Marianne at (208) 308-5617 7-Aug-23 by Marianne Barker System Entry: Project approved by the District Approval Committee. 8-Aug-23 by Marianne Barker System Entry: Check for DDF payment issued by Foundation Treasurer. 17-Aug-23 by Marianne Barker Please do not reply to this email. You should have received your grant by now, mailed to your club’s mailing address Aug. 11. We are using a bill payer service this year, and the envelope will look different than in the past. Please tell your treasurer to watch for it, and not to discard. Please call me if you don’t have your check (208) 308-5617. Ignore the physical address on the check – D5400 is still PO Box 9592, Boise, ID 83707. 13-Mar-24 by Larry Gebhardt The Pocatello Free Clinic Psychiatrist project continues. Excellent reports of mental health treatment. The grant provides stipend to University of Utah Health for psychiatrist time. Other funding has been received. The service will continue 2024-25. A final report will be submitted in April for P-4707. 27-Apr-24 by Larry Gebhardt System Entry: Project has been implemented and final report uploaded. 29-Apr-24 by Christine Huot Thank you for your documents on this grant. They seem complete but the committee does have some concerns. Stipends are allowed by RI Guidelines in some circumstances but we have to watch for a pass-through grants and this looks a little like this. RI does not consider fund raising as "active Rotarian participation" and being on a board is rather difficult as it can be perceived conceived as a conflict of interest. As auditor my interpretation of the Terms and Conditions and expenses are in contradictions of RI Guidelines. I will close this great grants but if you are going to continue please address these concerns before you proceed. It looks like a necessity you are trying to help with. 29-Apr-24 by Christine Huot System Entry: Final report approved by the District Approval Committee.
