Rotary Club of Gosford used a District grant to build two picnic shelters on the Gosford waterfront.

20. District Grants Small-scale, short-term
Local or international activities
Aligned with the Foundation’s mission
Single grant awarded annually
Club submission required
District grants fund small-scale, short-term activities that address needs in your community and communities abroad. Each district chooses which activities it will fund with these grants. You can use district grants to fund a variety of district and club projects and activities.
You have a lot of freedom to customize your service projects. There aren’t many restrictions, as long as your district grant supports the mission of The Rotary Foundation, which is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. Districts must be qualified before they can administer district grants.
Districts may use up to 50 percent of their District Designated Fund to receive one district grant annually. This percentage is calculated based on the amount of DDF generated from a district’s Annual Fund giving three years prior, including Endowment Fund earnings. You aren’t required to request the full amount available.
Districts receive this funding as a lump sum and then distribute it to their clubs.

21. DISTRICT GRANT Examples
Rotarians in District 4420 (part of Sao Paulo, Brazil) used district grant funds to begin Project READ (Reading and Education Center) to provide reading rooms for children in poor communities. The project equips each center with books and toys that encourage reading among children ages A local monitor supervises each reading room and tutors students.
Rotary Club of Mosman has supported “Books in Homes” in providing books to infants and grade 1 pupils at a school in Mt Druitt

23. Global Grants Large, long-term projects
Sustainable, measurable outcomes
Alignment with areas of focus
International partnership
World Fund match
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. DDF is matched at 100% and cash is matched at 50%.

28. Key to Global Grant success

29. Vocational
Training Teams

30. Vocational Training Teams
Traveling groups of professionals:
Learn about their vocation
Teach professionals about a particular field
Strengthen knowledge and skills
Vocational training teams are groups of professionals who travel, either to learn more about their vocation or to teach local professionals about a particular field. These teams can expand the knowledge and skills of individuals and communities.
The vocational training team concept was inspired by the successes of past grant programs, including Group Study Exchange and Volunteer Service Grants.
Rotary clubs and districts can support vocational training teams through district grants or global grants.

Study periods of 1-4 years
Selected area of focus strongly relates to:
Previous work, volunteer, and study experience
Academic program
Future career plans (immediate and long-range)
Host and international sponsors
$30,000 minimum budget
Global grants can fund scholarships for career-minded professionals for one to four years of graduate-level study in Rotary’s areas of focus.
The scholars’ previous work, volunteer, and study experience must strongly relate to the selected area of focus; the scholars’ academic program must strongly relate to the selected area of focus; and the scholars’ future career plans, both immediately after the scholarship period and in the long-term, must strongly relate to the selected area of focus.
A host sponsor and international sponsor work together to identify the scholar and submit the application.
The minimum budget for global grants is $30,000.
Global grant scholarship applications undergo an intense review. Not all applications are approved because, often, applications do not align with an area of focus.
