How Does This Website Work?
This website is meant to facilitate communication between Rotarians with a service project looking for some funding, and Rotarians with funding looking for a project. The parties can be from anywhere in the world. The website also helps the districts through their DDF application process. The website displays a personalized page for each project, with the contact and budget information, and possibly pictures and other materials. This is a great way to show the great work Rotary is doing through projects all over the world. Here is the step by step process.
1. |
A Rotarian somewhere in the world publishes a service project on the website. He/she fills in the description of the project and gives his/her contact information. The Rotarian can make reference to the specific project web page while he/she tries to find a club partner to fund the project. To find out how to publish a project, go to the Submit Project section of this website.

2. |
If the project needs additional funding, a Rotarian somewhere else can look at the project page and decided he/she would like to support this project. He/she pledges support to the project by filling the relevant form on this website. The project page is automatically updated and an email is sent to the project originator to announce that the project is now fully funded. To find out how to signup for a project, go to the Pledge Support section of this website.

3. |
Once a project is Fully Pledged the parties follow the application process in their district to get some matching District Designated Funds (DDF). This most likely involes having the project electronically signed on this website. While the project is being worked on, the web page can be used to display the project information, including documents and pictures. Check out with your District leadership for the details of the application process.

4. |
Once completed, the web page is a great testimony of the good work achieved by all parties through the Rotary Foundation. Don't forget to upload pictures and other material to have a better display of your project. This website can act as a central repository of project information, including reports, receipts, etc.
