Global Grants

Global Grants

 
Global Grants assist Clubs in funding humanitarian aid projects aligned with the Foundation’s Areas of Focus, postgraduate and research scholarships, and Vocational Training Team service projects in cooperation with Rotarians in another country.
 
All clubs considering undertaking a Global Grant are encouraged to notify the District Foundation Global Grants Coordinator at the early planning stage of their project.  Assistance with many aspects of the grant process can be provided, including:
  • Sourcing expertise for project activities
  • Assistance with sustainability requirements
  • Assistance with project evaluation design
  • Finding additional funds
  • Completing grant proposal
 
Clubs must complete the Grants Management Certification (RLI Learning Centre) to be qualified to act as the primary sponsor of a Global Grant Project.
 
To ensure that the District Designated Fund (DDF) will be available for the project, clubs must complete and submit a Project Proposal to reserve the DDF form (link from this page).
 
Contact D9815 Global Grants and Scholarship Coordinator Charlie Speirs at the earliest stage of planning to ensure the smooth completion of your global grant application.
