Excess Reserves
District 5010 may optionally provide funding for certain District infrastructure improvement projects and for District-wide projects that have a long-term District-wide positive impact upon our state and its communities.
At this time, Excess Reserves policy discourages funding of projects that are basically the sorts of club-level projects traditionally undertaken by one or a small group of clubs. Funding for such traditional club-level projects should be sought from the normal Spring DDF grants process.
Excess Reserves policy will likely be reviewed in the foreseeable future and the following Excess Reserves scoring protocol is provided as a guide to current policy and restrictions regarding approval of Excess Reserves funding requests. Any such policy changes will be posted if and when made.
