2.6. Getting funding through Rotary

Rotary Foundation imageYour club should make donations to the Rotary Foundation. These contributions you give to The Rotary Foundation make possible a variety of grants to help fund your local and international projects and activities. 

District grants

District grants fund small-scale, short-term activities that address needs in your community and communities abroad.

Global grants

Global grants support large international activities with sustainable, measurable outcomes in Rotary's areas of focus.

Programs of scale grants

Programs of scale grants are Rotary Foundation grants that benefit a large number of people or a significant geographical area.

Disaster response grants

Disaster response grants support relief and recovery efforts in areas that have been affected by natural disaster.

Qualification for a Rotary Grant

Clubs and districts must become qualified in order to receive grant funding from The Rotary Foundation.

If your club wishes to apply for global grants, your president and president-elect must:

  • Agree to the club qualification MOU
  • Complete the grant management seminar training as outlined by the district
  • Complete any additional steps that your district requires

Your club must qualify each year if you plan to apply for global grants.
