CLUB QUALIFICATION

At Rotary, we want every grant to demonstrate that we’re ethical,
responsible leaders who use our donors’ money wisely. Rotary’s
commitment to sound financial management makes it easier for all of us
to find donors, partners, and communities that are ready to work with us.

By qualifying your club each year, you agree to follow our financial and
grant management practices. Qualifying your club for global grants
takes three steps::

1 Complete a grant management seminar. Rotary members involved in
grant-funded projects should participate in a grant management seminar in the
district. If the members involved in the project cannot take part, your club can
send its president-elect or another member. A minimum of one representative
from your club must participate in the grant management seminar. Grant
management training materials are available in Rotary’s Learning Center.
2 Complete the club memorandum of understanding (MOU). The MOU is

an agreement between your club and district that outlines the Foundation’s
minimum requirements for managing grants. Your club president and
president-elect review the MOU, sign it, and submit it to your district.

3 Agree to any additional qualification requirements set by your district.
Rotary’s policies establish a shared standard for all clubs. Your district might
have additional requirements.

Complete these steps annually to stay qualified.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

If you’re thinking about applying for a global grant and your club is qualified to
do so, be sure that your project meets the global grants requirements. Global
grant activities (except scholarships) must be supported by the benefiting
community and led by Rotary members. They also must have measurable results
and be able to be sustained by the community after the grant funds have been
spent.
