WHAT ARE THE BEST FINANCIAL PRACTICES FOR GRANT FUNDS?
 
Because grant funds come from donor contributions, ifs important for sponsors to manage these funds prudently, transparently, and in accordance with Rotary Foundation policies. Some good ways to do that are to:
  • Follow your spending plan to distribute and use grant funds for their stated purpose and in a timely manner.
  • Make project-related payments by check or other traceable method.
  • If payments are made electronically by one person, maintain a paper record showing that the payment was approved by both signatories.
  • Maintain detailed receipts and record each transaction. Your ledger should list each transaction and note the date, the amount, and the reason for it.
  • Share information so you can manage grant payments smoothly and keep funds secure.
Thank you for helping Rotary maintain the highest level of grant oversight.

The Big Four - Ways to Support Rotary in Mesa West
As Rotarians, we are regularly exposed to opportunities to support various causes with our time, talent and treasure.  Sometimes it is hard to sift through all the information and decide where we are going to use our available financial resources. 
 
It would be wonderful if every Mesa West Rotarian would make the following BIG FOUR their Rotary charities of choice and support every one of them every year, we could make a bigger difference than we are making today.
