Funding Abstract:
Rotary Foundation Global Grants support large, grant-funded activities that relate to one or more of the six areas of focus, (peace and conflict prevention/resolution, disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy, and economic and community development,) and have a long-term impact. Clubs and districts can either create their own global grant-funded activities or sponsor packaged global grants that are developed by The Rotary Foundation in cooperation with its strategic partners.

Grant
Application Process and Required Materials:
All Rotary Foundation Global Grant applications will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. A two-step online application process will be accessible via Member Access at https://www.rotary.org/en/selfservice/Pages/login.aspx. Additional documentation for non-Rotarian scholarship and vocational training team applicants will be on the RI Web site; the grant sponsors will upload these items electronically to the application.
Proposal
For club- and district-developed global grants, Rotarians will submit a brief online proposal before submitting a formal application. The proposal should provide an overview of the grant activity's objectives and demonstrate how the activities fit within an area of focus. This process is designed to increase the acceptance rate of grant applications.
Application
Once a proposal has been accepted, Rotarians will submit an online application that provides the Foundation with more detailed grant activity and budget information. (Depending on the award amount or complexity of the project, the Foundation may request additional details.) Club- and district-developed global grants of $100,000 or more will require the Trustees ' approval.
