Global grants can be used for projects in our communities – something often overlooked.

Sharing Of TRF Funds

Sharing of Foundation Funds TRF allocates 50% to DDF and 50% to World Fund World Fund only available for Global Grant Projects Districts must use at least 50% of allocated DDF for Global Grants and balance 50% can be used for District Grants or global grants- - Thus sharing formula allocates 75% to GG projects( includes Polio Plus)
