ROTARY GRANTS<br />
District Grants<br />
District grants are block grants made to districts to support activities that fit<br />
within the mission <strong>of</strong> the Foundation. Districts may receive one grant per year<br />
and can use these funds to support scholarships and vocational teams, sponsor<br />
volunteer service, provide disaster recovery, and carry out community and international<br />
service projects. District grants allow flexibility to Rotarians in carrying<br />
out grant activities and are fully funded through District Designated Fund (DDF)<br />
allocations.<br />
Global Grants<br />
Global grants fund large-scale projects and activities that:<br />
• Align with one or more <strong>of</strong> the areas <strong>of</strong> focus<br />
• Respond to a need that the benefiting community has identified<br />
• Include the active participation <strong>of</strong> the benefiting community<br />
• Strengthen local knowledge, skills, and resources<br />
• Provide long-term benefit to the community after the Rotary club or district<br />
has concluded its work<br />
• Have measurable results<br />
• Involve active Rotarian participation<br />
Global grants <strong>of</strong>fer a minimum World Fund award <strong>of</strong> US$15,000 for a minimum<br />
project budget <strong>of</strong> $30,000. The World Fund award is based on a 100 percent match<br />
<strong>of</strong> DDF allocations or a 50 percent match <strong>of</strong> cash contributions. Global grants must<br />
have two primary sponsors: a host partner in the country where the activity takes<br />
place and an international partner outside the country. Both must be qualified to<br />
receive grants. Global grants may support humanitarian projects, scholarships, or<br />
vocational training teams. (TRFC 11.040.)<br />
Packaged Grants<br />
Packaged grants provide opportunities for Rotary clubs and districts to work with<br />
the Foundation’s strategic partners on predesigned activities that are funded<br />
entirely from the World Fund. These projects and activities support the areas <strong>of</strong><br />
focus and can include humanitarian projects, scholarships, and vocational training<br />
teams.<br />
