2021-22 GMS 扶輪基金獎助金管理研習會
                            2020-21 GMS 扶輪基金獎助金管理研習會






            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.
