District Grants Defined

Rotary district grants fund small-scale, short-term activities that address needs in your community and communities abroad. Each district chooses which activities it will fund with these grants.

What they support

You can use district grants to fund a variety of district and club projects and activities, including:
Humanitarian projects, including service travel and disaster recovery efforts.
Scholarships for any level, length of time, location, or area of study.
Vocational training teams, which are groups of professionals who travel abroad either to teach local professionals about a particular field or to learn more about their own.

How to use them

You have a lot of freedom to customize your service projects. There aren't many restrictions, as long as your district grant supports the mission of The Rotary Foundation. Districts must be qualified before they can administer district grants.

How they're funded

Districts may use up to 50 percent of their District Designated Fund to receive one district grant annually. This percentage is calculated based on the amount of DDF generated from a district's Annual Fund giving three years prior, including Endowment Fund earnings. You aren't required to request the full amount available.
You'll receive this funding as a lump sum and then distribute it to your clubs.

How clubs request funds

Clubs work directly with their district to get funding. Your district governor or Rotary Foundation chair should be able to tell you when to submit a request and whether you'll need to meet additional district requirements, such as reporting or training.
