START SENDING IN THOSE GRANT REQUESTS NOW

The 2025-2026 District 5470 Grant Training held over Zoom on March 15th was a success! Rotarians tuned in, engaged, and walked away with tons of valuable insights from our amazing District Chairs – Sheree Fukai (District Grants), Melanie Phelps (Global Grants), and Sam Kevan (Rotary Foundation). It was an interactive and informative session that set us all up for success!

Here’s a summary of what was covered:

  • Eligibility & Funding for District Grants: Key requirements include attending a Grants training seminar, submitting a completed MOU to the Rotary Foundation Chair, and meeting Annual Fund participation of $25 per member from at least 15% of club members.
  • 2025-2026 PowerPoints Included: Global Grant, District Grant, & Rotary Foundation Trainings 

The training helped clubs prepare to secure funding for impactful community projects.
