District grants fund small-scale, short-term activities that address community needs.
Global grants support large international service activities with sustainable, measurable outcomes.
Disaster response grants support communities that have been affected by a natural disaster.
Programs of Scale awards support longer-term, high-impact programs that are led by Rotary members and have already demonstrated their success on a smaller scale.
Learn more about Rotary grants, including what kinds of projects are eligible and how to apply. Work with your district Rotary Foundation committee to discover what funding may be available in your district.
