Global grants

In addition to the eligibility criteria listed above, global grants:

1. Support activities that align with one or more of Rotary’s six areas of focus. These activities include
humanitarian projects, international scholarships to fund graduate-level coursework or research for one
to four academic years, and/or vocational training teams that address a humanitarian need by providing
professional training.

2. Benefit communities in countries and geographical areas where Rotary has clubs
3. Are based on the needs of the community where a project will be carried out. Any club or district that
applies for a global grant to support a humanitarian project or a vocational training team needs to conduct
a community assessment and design the project with the host community in response to the results.
Sponsors must also include the results in the grant application.

4. Are sponsored by at least one Rotary club or district in the country where the grant project will take place
(the primary host sponsor) and one or more outside that country (the primary international sponsor). We
may make exceptions for projects in countries where Rotary doesn’t have clubs but where Rotary
International’s Board is actively pursuing extension.

5. Are sustainable. Communities where a project is carried out must be able to address their own needs after
the Rotary club or district has completed its work.

6. Are measurable. Sponsors select standard measures from the Global Grant Monitoring and Evaluation
Plan Supplement, and may add their own measurements.
7. May be used to build infrastructure, such as toilet blocks and sanitation systems; access roads; dams;
bridges; storage units; fences and security systems; water or irrigation systems; and greenhouses. If your
project will access groundwater, you need to have done a hydrogeological survey. The cost of that can be
included in the grant budget.
8. Support international travel for up to two people as part of a humanitarian project. These people provide
training or implement the project if the local Rotary club confirms that those skills aren’t readily available
locally.

III. RESTRICTIONS

Grants cannot be used to unfairly discriminate against any group, promote a particular political or religious
viewpoint, support purely religious functions, support activities that involve abortion or that are undertaken solely
for sex determination, fund the purchase of weapons or ammunition, or serve as a new contribution to the
Foundation or to another Foundation grant.

Grants also cannot fund:
1. Continuous or excessive support of any one beneficiary, entity, or community

2. The establishment of a foundation, permanent trust, or long-term interest-bearing account. Grant funds
can be used to establish a microcredit fund if the sponsors comply with the requirements detailed in
section X.

3. The purchase of land or buildings
