The Rotary Foundation (Programmes)
The Foundation supports the projects and programmes of Rotary Clubs in three distinct ways:
- Grants to Rotary projects developed by Rotary clubs and Rotarians within their communities and internationally;
- Grants to global scale projects developed by Rotary International which Rotary Clubs and Rotarians can participate in, using the grants available;
- Vocational and Peace Scholarships. In our district , we focus on graduate level programmes.
Grants
The Rotary Foundation offers two types of grants: District Grants and Global Grants.
Rotary Foundation District Grants are block grants made available to districts to fund community and international service projects. District Grants allow Rotarians to respond quickly to urgent needs, and to plan smaller projects both in their communities and abroad, that fit within the mission of The Rotary Foundation. Clubs will be advised when funds are available for these purposes.
The tables below show the District Grants made this year and the immediate past year.
Rotary Foundation Global Grants support larger humanitarian and educational projects with sustainable, high-impact outcomes; as well as scholars and vocational training teams in one of the following six areas of focus.
In these pages, we highlight some important programmes and projects in the district and which are supported by Foundation grants. Of these, PolioPlus, the most ambitious programme in Rotary’s history, is the volunteer arm of the global partnership dedicated to eradicating polio. You can read more here.
