Description
Rotary International’s Global Grants program funds large-scale international activities that deliver sustainable, measurable outcomes in one or more of Rotary’s areas of focus. Grants may support humanitarian projects, graduate-level scholarships, or vocational training teams. All projects must demonstrate sustainability, measurable impact, and strong community involvement, and require collaboration between qualified Rotary clubs or districts in different countries. Projects must align with Rotary’s focus areas, include a clear project plan, and show long-term benefits for the community.
