MAKING AN IMPACT
IN OUR AREAS OF FOCUS

Communities around the world have plenty of challenges. To focus
Rotary’s efforts, The Rotary Foundation has chosen six areas where
Rotary can contribute to lasting change. These causes help us align all
of our work in communities and maximize our global impact. Using the
results of your community assessment, choose at least one area of focus
that you want to work in for the benefiting community.

Peacebuilding and conflict prevention
Disease prevention and treatment

Water, sanitation, and hygiene

Maternal and child health
Basic education and literacy

Community economic development

Think about the impact you want to make in the community and set a
main goal within the area you’ve chosen. For example, to support basic
education and literacy, you may need to address gender disparity in
education in the community. Or, to support maternal and child health,
you’ll need to make sure that more women can deliver their babies safely.
Setting this goal will help you select a global grant activity that will have
the greatest impact.

Develop a project that will achieve your goal. Read the Areas of Focus
Policy Statements for detailed information about eligible global grant
activities and outcomes that fall within each area. Each policy statement
includes:

• Goals Rotary hopes to achieve in the area of focus
• Eligible grant activities
• What you need to implement successful grants
Use this as your guide for deciding if a global grant is the right source of
funding for your project and what activity to use to achieve your main
goal. For example, to improve maternal and child health, your club might
train doctors and nurses at the local hospital so that more expectant
mothers can have safe deliveries. Or, to support basic education and
literacy, your club and local leaders might focus on reducing gender
disparity in your community by hosting a series of meetings for parents
on the importance of girls’ education and providing new facilities and
resources for girls at a local school.
