5. District 6890 DDF Allocation Pro rata share of available DDF to be determined and “reserved” for clubs Based on TRF - AF giving three years prior (e.g., 2012-2013 for 2015-2016) Clubs have first opportunity to decide allocation of their money to projects Subject to eligibility requirements 5

6. District 6890 DDF Allocation Contribution “Circuit Breakers” & Project Minimums In order to sponsor a project under these guidelines, clubs must achieve one of two “circuit breakers” in the contribution year: 1.) Contribute a minimum of $2,500 to APF or 2.) Reach $100 per capita giving to APF Clubs not qualifying to sponsor grant eligible projects may still assign their reserve DDF to a partner club’s project of their choosing. This applies to both DISTRICT and GLOBAL Grants, and assumes club has participated in annual Grants Workshop and submitted signed MOU. TRF has set a $30,000 minimum for GLOBAL Grant projects, meaning total funding from all sources (including partner clubs outside D-6890) must be $30,000 or more. 9

7. District 6890 DDF Allocation All DDF money is eligible for allocation to qualifying GLOBAL Grants (TRF policy) Up to 50% of DDF money may be allocated to qualifying DISTRICT Grants (TRF policy) District 6890 CLUBS decide how to spend their money based on service initiatives 6

8. District 6890 DDF Allocation EXAMPLE Club RC contributes $12,000 to TRF Annual Fund in 2012-13, representing 8.0% of District 6890 giving. In 2015-16, TRF returns $75,000 in DDF to be allocated to qualifying grants. $6,000 (8.0% of $75,000) is “reserved” for Club RC until 8/30/2015. Club may apply all $6,000 to an eligible GLOBAL Grant or up to $3,000 to an eligible DISTRICT Grant (and balance to GLOBAL Grant). DDF matches “new” money 1:1 for DISTRICT Grants up to maximum allocation (e.g., 50% of $6,000 = $3,000 for Club RC). New money not required for DDF toward GLOBAL Grants. 7

9. District 6890 DDF Allocation DISTRICT Grant New Funds $ 3,000 DDF Match $ 3,000 TRF Match N/A TOTAL $ 6,000 GLOBAL Grant New Funds $ 9,000 DDF Applied $ 3,000 TRF Match $ 7,500 TOTAL $ 19,500 ** GLOBAL Grant New Funds $ 12,000 DDF Applied $ 6,000 TRF Match $ 12,000 TOTAL $ 30,000 ANDAND OROR GLOBAL Grants may also qualify for matching from TRF’s World Fund. World Fund matches DDF 1:1 and new money 1:2 ($1 = 50¢ WF). Assume Club RC has raised a total of $12,000 (new money) for DISTRICT and GLOBAL Grant projects. Allocation of funds results in different levels of available matching from TRF (World Fund). 8 ** TRF minimum GLOBAL Grant project is $30,000, so the $19,500 shown above represents only partial funding (i.e., would require transfer to or from another club)
