What is a District Grant?
A District Grant is a Rotary Foundation grant which matches Rotary Club funds to support projects that benefit local communities, fund scholarships and exchange teams or an international project. The Highlights of the District Grants program for 2022-2023:
- Total District Grant monies available for the 2022-23 Rotary year: $96,907
- Projects are funded on a 2-for-1 match basis; that is, we will match $2 for each $1 spent in club funds.
- A club could have more than one grant request, but total project reimbursements must not exceed more than $3,000 per club.
- Priority: Clubs with a $100 per capita giving to the Annual Fund
Important: In order for a Rotary club to participate in Foundation grants, it is required to have at least one representative attend the Grants Management Seminar offered at the District Training Assembly in May and sign a Memorandum of Understanding.
