RAISE FUNDS

Global grants are a combination of funds provided by the sponsor clubs
and districts and matching funds from The Rotary Foundation. These
matching funds enable Rotary members to do more thanks to the
generous contributions of members from around the world. Global grant
projects have a minimum budget of $30,000. Grant sponsors can use a
combination of District Designated Funds (DDF), cash, and directed
gifts and endowment earnings to fund a global grant. The Foundation
will provide an 80% World Fund match for all DDF contributions.
The maximum World Fund match is $400,000; there is no minimum.
A minimum of 15% of all grant contributions must come from outside
the project country. Sponsors can finance global grant projects and
activities with:
• District Designated Funds — Matched 80% by the World Fund
• Rotary member cash contributions — Outright gifts to The Rotary
Foundation from Rotary members or funds raised by Rotary members.
Cash contributions are no longer matched by the World Fund.
• Nonmember cash contributions — Donations to the project account
or to The Rotary Foundation from other organizations or parties
(not including cooperating organizations or beneficiaries of the project).
These contributions are no longer matched by the World Fund.
• Directed gifts — Donors must not have a conflict of interest as
defined in the Foundation’s conflict of interest policy. Directed gifts
are used in $15,000 increments and do not receive a World Fund match.
• Endowment earnings — Earnings from an endowed fund are
available to the district specified by the donor and do not receive a
World Fund match.

Remember to wait until the application has been approved to send your
cash contributions to the Foundation.
