Rotary International works with a global security advisory firm to maintain a travel ban list of extremely
dangerous countries. The Foundation does not fund travel to these countries because of safety concerns. If a
country is added to the list while funded travelers are in that country, plans will be made for their immediate
evacuation. Should the person not defer travel to or evacuate from a country as instructed, the Foundation will
cancel the grant and request the return of any funds already issued. The Foundation cannot fund any grant whose
success relies on international travel to a country on the list, even if the cost of travel is not part of the project
budget.
Non-Rotarians who receive grant funding for scholarships, participation in vocational training teams, or travel to
implement a humanitarian project are expected to:
1. Demonstrate knowledge of Rotary
2. Participate in an orientation session before their departure (either online or in person)
3. Take part in club and district activities as requested by their sponsors, such as speaking at club or district
meetings and participating in service projects
4. Be proficient in the language of the host country
VI. HOW GRANTS ARE FUNDED
District grants
District grants are funded by The Rotary Foundation solely with allocations from the District Designated Fund
(DDF). A district may apply for a single grant each Rotary year to support one or more projects using up to 50
percent of its SHARE allocation, which represents 50 percent of its annual giving from the previous three years
plus any Endowment-SHARE earnings.
Global grants
Global grants have a minimum budget of $30,000 and a maximum World Fund award of $400,000. Grant
sponsors can use a combination of District Designated Funds (DDF), cash, and/or directed gifts and endowment
earnings to fund a global grant. The Foundation will provide a 100 percent World Fund match for all DDF
contributions. There is no minimum World Fund match. Sponsors also have the option of financing global grants
without a World Fund match using any combination of cash, DDF, and/or directed gifts and endowment earnings
to reach a minimum budget of $30,000.
Grant sponsors may contribute cash toward a global grant, but it will not be matched by the Foundation. Non-
Rotarian contributions may also be added to a grant, as long as they don’t come from a cooperating organization
or someone who benefits from the grant. Non-Rotarian contributions will not be matched by the Foundation. Both
Rotarian and non-Rotarian cash contributions must include an additional contribution of 5% to offset processing
and administrative expenses. Funds should never be collected from beneficiaries in exchange for receiving the
grant. At least 15 percent of contributions to global grants that fund humanitarian projects need to come from
outside the project country. Host sponsors for humanitarian projects are encouraged to contribute toward the
financing of the grant.
