Our Rotary Foundation Committee (the charitable arm of Rotary Intl) will be bringing you a "Rotary Foundation Minute" each week this fall. The Rotary Foundation is the charitable arm of Rotary. The Foundation transforms donations into service projects.
Global Grants The Global Grant Program was launched in 2013-14. The first year, the Foundation awarded 868 Global grants worth $47.3 million. By 2019-20, the number of Global Grants increased to 1359, worth $95.6 million. The demand for Global Grants is far greater than what is available. Global Grants must align with one or more of the seven areas of focus. The minimum budget for a Global Grant is $30,000 and the maximum amount is $400,000. Global Grants require a partnership between the club or district where the activity will occur and a club or district in another country. Global Grant funding is an investment in lasting change so the project has to be sustainable after the funds have been spent. Examples of Suburban Global Grant Projects are:
*The Hope for Togo: Center for Excellence Hospital and Health Centers. *The Zabuli Education Center Science Lab Project.
