Both the district or club in the country where the activity is carried out and the international partner district or club must first become qualified before applying for a global grant. Learn more about the qualification process and grant management. Your club and district Rotary Foundation chairs can help you plan how to use your District Designated Funds and learn how to qualify your club.

Consult with local experts early in the planning process to build a strong project plan and global grant application. The district resource network (see below) can help.

Includes measurable goals

Aligns with one of Rotary’s areas of focus

Responds to real community needs—any club or district that applies for a global grant to support a humanitarian project or a vocational training team must conduct a community assessment first and design the project based on what they learn through that assessment. Be sure to include the results of your community assessment in your application.
