1. SHARE & District Leadership

2. SHARE Why is it called SHARE? Rotarians SHARE their resources with their fellow Rotarians. SHARE? The Trustees SHARE some decision-making with the districts. Rotarians SHARE Rotary with the world through their Foundation.

3. SHARE What does it do? SHARE transforms TRF contributions into Ambassadorial Scholarships, Matching Grants, Group Study Exchanges and more. SHARE?

4. SHARE What is DDF? The terms SHARE and DDF are often used interchangeably. DDF stands for “District Designated Fund.” SHARE? A district’s DDF is made up of two amounts.

5. Annual Programs Fund Contributions At the end of the Rotary Year the SHARE system divides each district’s contributions to the Annual Programs Fund in half: 50% goes to the World Fund and 50% is credited to the district’s DDF. SHARE

6. Permanent Fund Earnings The Trustees determine the spendable percentage of Permanent Fund earnings. If a district has contributions designated to PF-Share, the earnings on those contributions go through the SHARE cycle: 50% of the earnings go to the World Fund and 50% is credited to the district’s DDF. SHARE

7. The 3-Year Cycle TRF uses the earnings from SHARE’s 3-year investment cycle to pay for administration and fund development The three-year cycle gives districts time for program planning and participant selection TRF operates on a unique funding cycle, using contributions for program activities three years after they are collected

10. SHARE Keeping Track of Your SHARE Balance “Unused DDF” The SHARE system defines “Unused DDF” as DDF remaining after funds for all approved program applications and donations have been identified. SHARE balances do not reflect any DDF the district may have pledged or committed to a pending project.

11. SHARE Keeping Track of Your SHARE Balance SHARE coordinator Districts are expected to plan for and track the use of their DDF. TRF also tracks the use of all districts’ DDF. Districts can check their current “account balance” by contacting the Foundation’s SHARE coordinator. Email: share.mailbox@rotary.org
