Give a good project a stronger foundation

Rotary Foundation education helps clubs connect generosity with carefully planned service. This page models a district guide; it does not publish actual grant eligibility or awards.

Start with the community

Work with the people a project is intended to benefit. Identify the need together, discuss existing resources, and decide how success and ongoing maintenance will be assessed.

Prepare your project

Draft a scope, budget, partner list, timeline, and evaluation plan. Confirm the current qualification and reporting requirements with the real district Foundation team before applying.

District and global grants

Different funding paths serve different project needs. Consult current Rotary Foundation guidance and the responsible district team for eligibility and application details.
