District and Global Grants
Unlock the Power of Your Club’s Vision with District and Global Grants!
The District Rotary Foundation Chair (DRFC) and District Governor (DG) invite all Rotary
Clubs in District 7620 to seize an exciting opportunity—matching District Designated Funds
(DDF) for your projects!
Every Rotary Year, The Rotary Foundation (TRF) allocates DDF based on contributions made
three years earlier, ensuring that the generosity of our District, our Rotary Clubs, and our
Members fuels impactful projects today. Half of these funds support District Grants, while the
other half powers Global Grants—doubling our impact locally and worldwide!
District Grants: Fast, Focused and Impactful
Need funding for a short-term project that creates real change? District Grants provide financial
backing for humanitarian initiatives – both within our local community or in communities
worldwide – that require small capital items, startup funding, or services with direct and tangible
benefits. With DDF matching Club contributions, your local or international project can make
a bigger difference, faster!
Global Grants: Bold, Transformative and Sustainable
to think bigger and change lives on a global scale? Global Grants support large-scale,
long-term, international projects with a minimum budget of $30,000. These projects receive Club
and Club Foundation contributions matched by DDF, PLUS an 80% match from the World Fund
of Rotary International — multiplying your impact far beyond what your Rotary Club could
achieve alone!
Don’t miss this chance to bring your Rotary Club’s vision to life! Apply for matching DDF
and make a lasting difference in communities near and far.
Get started today—your project could be the next Rotary success story!
Trainings
In order for your Rotary Club to be eligible to receive grant funds from the District (DDF) for local or international humanitarian projects, two members from your club must complete MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) learning for the year. Typically, this involves the incoming Club President (PE) and the Club Foundation or Grants Chair.
What does the learning involve?
A Rotary Foundation (TRF) training – covering the role of TRF and how clubs engage with it
A Grants training – focused on how to create and manage successful grant projects
How can you complete your required learning?
