V. TRAVEL POLICIES

Anyone traveling for a grant should make their own travel arrangements. They can work with Rotary International
Travel Service (RITS) or organize travel on their own.

Rotary Foundation grants will cover these budgeted expenses related to international travel:

1. Economy-class ticket(s)
2. Transportation to and from airports and local travel related to implementing the grant

3. The cost of inoculations or immunizations, visas, and entry and exit taxes
4. Normal and reasonable luggage charges

5. Travel insurance

Rotary Foundation grants will not cover:

1. Expenses associated with optional stopovers before or after travel that has been approved
2. Penalties resulting from changes in personal travel arrangements, including optional stopovers

3. Charges for excess baggage and shipping

The club or district sponsoring the grant should maintain emergency contact information and travel itineraries for
anyone traveling on grant funds. You should share this information with the Foundation when asked to do so.

Grant recipients are responsible for:

1. Making travel arrangements. Failure to arrange travel promptly may increase the cost of it or lead to the
grant being canceled.
2. Any expenses that exceed the approved travel budget, unless approved by the Foundation

3. Meeting all medical requirements for international travel
4. Arranging and funding any personal travel, which may take place for up to four weeks at the end of the
grant activities. After that, grant recipients are expected to return home.

5. Abiding by Rotary International travel restrictions for a particular country
6. Obtaining travel insurance

Each health care professional who will provide services as part of the grant activities is expected to have at least
$500,000 in professional liability insurance coverage (known as errors and omissions liability). This refers to
coverage for legal liability that could arise from that person’s professional acts or omissions that cause harm to
others. The participant should obtain and pay for this coverage.
