We are pleased to announce the grant application period for the Rotary Year 2025-2026 Rotary Year will be open on November 1, 2024
GUIDELINES FOR GRANT APPLICATIONS FOR THE ROTARY YEAR 2025 2026
EACH CLUB MUST HAVE TRAINED MEMBERS IN THE GRANT PROCESS
EACH CLUB MUST SIGN A NEW 2025-2026 MOU (Memorandum of Agreement.) The MOU can be obtained via the website and by contacting Peter Clayton, Stewardship Chair at super_limey@yahoo.com.
Clubs receive 100% of their approved grant amount as the payment. This eases the financial burden for all Clubs. Please remember - final grant reports are still required for each project at the end of the Rotary year. Any Club or Group that receives grant monies but does not complete the report in a timely manner will jeopardize their ability to receive future Grant funding.
GRANT TYPES, CRITERIA, AND TIMELINES
ALL GRANT APPLICATIONS MUST FALL WITHIN AT LEAST ONE OF THE SEVEN AREAS OF FOCUS:
- Peacebuilding & Conflict Prevention
- Disease Prevention & Treatment
- Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
- Maternal & Child Health
- Basic Education and Literacy
- Community Economic Development
- Protecting the Environment
DISTRICT GRANTS
District Grants are those grants in which the total project budget amount is less than $30,000. To apply for a District Grant, trained members access the District 7430 website and enter the grant module. Select “Submit a Grant Request” and all the grant application information can be entered directly into the website. Each club may only have two open District grants at any given time and must not be delinquent in any grant reports. Specific District Grant criteria will be reviewed during the training sessions and can be accessed via the website.
REMEMBER: “For Year” should read 2025-2026
GLOBAL GRANTS
Global Grants are those grants in which the total budget amount is greater than $30,000 and MUST have an international partner.
To apply for a global grant, trained members access the District Website and submit a Global Grant Proposal to the District Committee. Once the grant is approved by the District committee, the club will be notified of their ability to enter the grant into the Rotary International website Grant Application Tool under The Rotary Foundation tab.
