This is a Rotary District 5030 Family Homelessness “matching” grant. We will match your clubs funding
from $2,500.00 up to $5,000.00. What dollar amount will your club be funding that we will be
matching? The total project cost will be double the amount your club provides; i.e. $3,000.00 +
$3,000.00 = $6,000.00

To qualify for these funds you and your club are agreeing to the following:

    1. Have a Rotary club program (speaker) to discuss some area of family homelessness issues in the
       area your club is located (city/county) within 9 months of today. Date planned:
    2. Ask your partnering agency to add your club to their web site as a donor or project partner. Seek
       ways to promote your project through PR and provide any PR pictures or releases to our Rotary
       District 5030 Family Homelessness Committee member:
    3. Keep good financial records and provide any financial review if the funding flows through your
       club with your final report. We recommend a Rotarian with a financial background.
    4. To have your committee and any members of your club participate in a short survey before you
       start your project and after you have completed it. This would be anonymous, Survey Monkey
       and would be used as part of a study on Family Homelessness in our region.
    5. Prepare a final report no later than 11 months after receiving your funding OR 2 months after
       the end of the project; whichever is sooner. Some projects may have a long time frame; others
       may be completed in a short amount of time. The report should include the following bullet
       points.

               How many families were actually assisted?
               What was the cost per family or individual for your project?
               Was the project implemented as you expected?
               Were you satisfied with the outcome of this project?
               Will your club continue to engage in efforts to end family homelessness next year?
               Final thoughts and insights
