This project is completed. Project listed for the 2009-10 Rotary Year. The Matching Grant application number from TRF is #70779. The TRF Staff in charge of this grant is Diane Lopez (Diane.Lopez@rotary.org).
We are looking for a Club or individual that can donate money to this project. We have already raised $16,000 and we need another $12,000. With Rotary International's Matching Grant program if we get $8,000 Rotary International will match it with the other $4,000.
These kids need this project. Costa Rica has been called the "Pedophile’s Disneyland". We'd like to make a dent on this industry and give these children a chance.

It is suggested that you replace the letter signed by this year's President with a new one dated July 1 and signed by next year's Club President. The cooperating organization letter is fine.

Informal word received that TRF is out of matching funds and that this grant will not receive a match. This application was delayed to due some incomplete paperwork and a past due grant report. Please consider refinancing this project without the TRF match.

I called Diane E. López (847-424-5206) at RI this morning and she said she has our Grant to go over one more time before she sends it in for approval. She went over it once already and said everything looked in order. She said within the next two days she'll send it in for final approval and will e-mail us when that happens.
<23-Nov-09> by Susan Thorning
Your grant can not be approved until you submit supplier information with copies of pro-forma invoices for the items that will be purchased for the project. This would specifically include the computers and furniture and other iteminzed items.

Per your request, the update follows: This Matching Grant is still going through the approval process. The Club in San Pedro did complete their old Matching Grant reporting but RI says they have not recieved it yet. Also the proforma invoices that the San Pedro Rotary Club submitted did not match the budget, so they are adjusting them for re-submittal.
