EVERYONE IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR SUSTAINABILITY

TRF ensures sustainable impact of

goods and services

Clubs and districtsensures sustainable impact of goods and

services

Community or organization ensures sustainable impact of

goods and services

Individuals & organizations benefit

from sustainable impact of goods and

services

• Sustainable projects focus on making a change for people, not things.

• For example, in basic education & literacy, projects focus on ensuring children receive a better education, not providing schools with things that may or may not support the existing teaching methodology.

• Sometimes equipment is what is needed! In those cases, district grants are the answer.
