Global grants can fund:

Humanitarian projects

Scholarships for graduate-level academic studies

Vocational training teams, which are groups of professionals who travel abroad either to teach local professionals about their field or to learn more about it themselves

ELIGIBILITY:

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.

To be approved, your application must clearly describe how your project, scholarship, or vocational training team:
