Let’s start with an overview of Matching Grants
What is a Matching Grant? Can you give me a definition or list the characteristics? What it does? How it does it?
Matching Grants is currently the most popular grant type within Humanitarian Grants. Matching Grants are intended to assist Rotary clubs and districts in carrying out humanitarian projects that will benefit a community in need.
As with all of the grants offered by Humanitarian Grants, Matching Grant projects must involve active Rotarian participation. Matching Grants “match” Rotary clubs or districts in at least two countries. The club or district in the project country is the host partner, and the club or district outside the country is the international partner.
As the name of the grant indicates, Matching Grants provide a match to funds raised by Rotary clubs and districts. Approved applications will receive a 50% match on every dollar of cash contributions and a 100% match for every dollar of DDF contributions.
