The Rotary Foundation Grant System is Changing

THE Rotary Foundation Future Vision Pilot is a three-year test of the new grant structure offered in the Foundation’s Future Vision Plan. The pilot will go live for Rotary Foundation Grants in 2013.

One hundred districts are participating in the pilot. Pilot districts will have a unique opportunity to help refine the new grant structure by providing input and receiving specialized Foundation support and service.

Grant structure

Pilot districts will work with Rotary Foundation District Grants and Rotary Foundation Global Grants for three years of the pilot.

Rotary Foundation District Grants

District grants are block grants made to districts for up to 50 percent of their District Designated Fund (DDF). District grants offer the flexibility to respond quickly to immediate needs or to plan projects with clubs locally or in other countries.

Rotary Foundation Global Grants

Global grants support large international projects with sustainable, high-impact outcomes in the six areas of focus that correspond to the Foundation’s mission.

Areas of focus

1. Peace and conflict prevention/resolution

2. Disease prevention and treatment

3. Water and sanitation

4. Maternal and child health

5. Basic education and literacy

6. Economic and community development
