XIV. CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS

Ensuring integrity in The Rotary Foundation grants program requires that all people involved in a program grant
or award conduct themselves in a way that avoids any conflicts of interest. A conflict of interest occurs when
someone is in a position to make or influence a decision about a grant or award that could benefit them, an
immediate family member, a business partner, or an entity in which they, an immediate family member, or a
business partner has a significant financial interest or in which any of them is a trustee, director, or officer.

All actual or potential conflicts of interest need to be disclosed to the general secretary. If you’re not sure if there’s
a potential conflict, you should disclose it. No Rotarians can serve on a grant committee for any global grant for
which they have a conflict of interest. Global grants may not be financed with contributions (directed gifts,
Corporate Social Responsibility funds, etc.) from donors who have conflicts of interest regarding the grant.

The general secretary will advise grant applicants on how to interpret and implement this policy. The general
secretary and/or the Trustees will determine whether a conflict of interest exists in a particular case. If they
conclude that there is or has been a conflict of interest in a grant or award, the general secretary will recommend
to the Trustees an appropriate remedy to protect the integrity of the grant process. That remedy may be canceling
current funding or suspending future funding involving a particular Rotarian, club, or district.
