Foundation sets up fund to help flood victims in Pakistan

Sunday, 29 August 2010

In response to the floods that have devastated Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province since 23 July, The Rotary Foundation Board of Trustees is accepting contributions to help fund Rotary projects that will support long-term disaster recovery in the affected areas.

Rotarians, clubs, and districts can contribute both cash and District Designated Fund (DDF) allocations to the Rotary Pakistan Flooding Fund.

This account is being administered through the Foundation’s Matching Grants program.

In their application, Matching Grant project partners can pledge DDF and cash contributions and request that they be matched by the Pakistan fund during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 Rotary years.

Applications received by the Foundation for recovery projects in Pakistan will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis and will be approved by the Pakistan fund.

All the current Matching Grant guidelines and criteria will apply to these projects, including restrictions regarding construction and renovation.

RCW members and others who wish to learn more or to cointribute to the fund can get further details from the Rotary International website
