Activities must be sustainable and measurable. For example:sustainable – ‎‎How will a project benefit the selected community in the future, after the grant has been spent? – How will a scholar's studies support one or more of the areas of focus? – How will a vocational training team project support capacity building, either for the team or the benefiting community?

Areas of focus Peace and conflict prevention/resolution Disease prevention and treatment Water and sanitation Maternal and child health Basic education and literacy Economic and community development Economic and community developmen

Activities should stem from real community needs. Community needs assessment tools are available to help identify community needs. Community needs assessment tools Global grants must be sponsored by two Rotary clubs or districts: a host partner in the country where the activity takes place and an international partner outside the country. Both partners must be Future Vision pilot members. Both partners must be actively involved in the planning and implementing of all global grants. This includes maintaining communication and developing plans for the shared responsibilities in all of the grant's stages.

Funding The minimum award amount from the World Fund for a global grant, regardless of activity type, is US$15,000, which results in a minimum total financing of $30,000. The World Fund award is based on a 100 percent match of DDF ($1.00:$1.00) or a 50 percent match of cash contributions ($0.50:$1.00).

A two-step online application process is accessible via Member Access Member Access Complete applications received by 1 June will be reviewed by the Trustees in September 1 October will be reviewed in January 1 December will be reviewed in March 1 February will be reviewed in May

Reports showing measurable success of the grant activity will be due to the Foundation every 12 months from the first issued payment. A final report is due when the grant funds have been completely spent and the objectives of the activity have been met.

Humanitarian projects: Global grants may be used to fund humanitarian projects Scholarships: Global grants may be used to provide funding for academic studies Vocational training opportunities: Global grants also may support vocational training teams, which are groups of professionals traveling abroad to either learn more about their profession or teach local professionals about a particular field.
