Global grants support large international activities with sustainable, measurable outcomes in Rotary’s areas of focus.
A key feature of global grants is partnership, between the district or club where the activity is carried out and a district or club in another country.
Both sponsors must be qualified before they can submit an application.
The minimum budget for a global grant activity is $30,000.
The Foundation’s World Fund provides a minimum of $15,000 and maximum of $200,000.
Clubs and districts contribute District Designated Funds (DDF) and/or cash contributions that the World Fund matches.
