Our 2025-26 District Grant was used to purchase equipment for the Multi-Sensory Learning Environment at AutismUp in Rochester, NY. Specifically our funds were used to clean and refill the sensory foam pit, and purchase twenty new basketballs, and two new Yamaha keyboards. Pictured here are Rotarians Ray Gangarossa, Gene Noga, Amber Wilk, and Rita Garretson.
A Rotary District Grant funds small, local or international service projects, administered by the district, using money from The Rotary Foundation's District Designated Fund (DDF) that matches club contributions, allowing Rotarians to address community needs like scholarships, RYLA, or small construction projects with quick, tangible results, requiring club training and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to participate.
