Matching grant
opportunity
Dear
Rotary friends,
I have been approached, by Binod Khaitan, to find partners for a
substantial, $15k+ matching grant application.
Binod is
Chairman - Rotary Leadership Institute Eastern
India
&
Nepal,
& Regional Vice Chairman - RLI South Asia (Pakistan,
Afghanistan,
Bangladesh,
Nepal,
India
and
Sri Lanka).
Binod has provided a list of Rotary or
Rotary supported Hospitals in the District, as well as potential
supporting Rotary Clubs in District 3290. This is available from
this
link
If your Club or District is interested in
partnering the opportunity to provide simple to use, lens-free
ophthalmoscopes, engraved “Donated by Rotarians”, and help make
blindness history for so many, please do contact me in the
first instance.
Many thanks,
Stephen, Stevenage Grange RC, District 1260
PS Since
writing about the prospect of a Matching Grant for India I
have been persuaded to mock up a worked example showing the
benefits of linking Club & District (DDF) funding in the
process. In essence if supported by all parties, a A$500
donation could yield 7 times that in true value to developing
countries. The example is now available at
http://www.roisight.org/main/page17cfp.html
Forgive me if some of
your viewers are already aware of the benefits ... but many
aren't.
