Proposed Financing Existing Contributions Towards This Project Date Cash DDF Total District 5340 DDF 8-Apr-25 - $23,000 $23,000 La Mesa (5340) 8-Apr-25 $5,500 $5,500 $11,000 Amount Requested from The Rotary Foundation - $22,800 $22,800 Total $56,800 DDF contributions in grey are pending approval of the corresponding district committee. Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
