• How Revenue Sharing Works!
• Your club gives 5,000.00 to the Annual Programs
  Fund. Three years later
• The World Fund keeps 2,500.
• The District Designated Fund (DDF)receives a
  credit from the World Fund for 2,500.
• Your club receives a credit from the District
  Designated Fund for 2,000.00.
• The District keeps 500.00 for
• district projects.

  your funds to a Humanitarian Grant.

  matching funds.

  able to participate in matching grants.

  with one or more clubs or districts to
  participate in the matching grant process.

Your responsibilities as the Annual Giving Chair
for your Club

• Promote Annual Giving in your club.
• Work with the District Annual Giving Committee to
  learn more about the APF.
• Educate your club members about the Annual
  Programs Fund.
• Create new ways to fund Annual Giving

15
What if?

• Rather than your club giving 5,000.00 and
  receiving 4,000.00 in grants, your club gave
  10,000.00 and received 8,000.00 in grants.
• Would this create more excitement and enthusiasm
  in your club?
• Would a larger grant create a bigger impact with
  the project you are working with?
