District Designated Funds (DDF) are generated based on contributions to the Annual Fund. Every year, each district’s contributions to the Annual Fund-SHARE are divided up. First, 5% is deducted for operational costs. The rest is split equally, 47.5% each, between the World Fund and funding for the district.
As we’ve mentioned, the money is invested for three years before it becomes available to districts. Your district can ask for up to half of its DDF in a district grant each year, then use the funds for the grants and programs that matter most in your area. This formula makes The Rotary Foundation an integral part of Rotary in our communities.
