Rotary Foundation ("TRF ") projects are called Grants. The two main Grants that are dealt with on this site are Global Grants and District Grants.
 
There are links on the left side of this web page for an overview and several appendices:

2016-17 District Grant Application
 
District Grants in the 2016-17 year feature a District 5890 matching amount of up to $2,000. Your Club’s projects are a high priority and financially supported by the District. Dg Eric Liu strongly encourages every Club to take part in a District Grant as it puts money where local Rotarians believe it belongs - in your communities.
 
Applications should be in the hands of the District (Barbara Franklin) prior to July 1, 2016. This step is necessary to facilitate the application to TRF for funding of all District Grant applications and the early reporting of completed grants. All individual applications must be in hand before the District may apply for funding for District Grants. The District’s application, as well as TRF funding, is in the form of a block grant. No further applications can be processed once the District files its block grant application. The applicable dates can be found on this website.
 
In the Global Grants arena the maximum contribution from the District for Humanitarian Global Grants is still $10,000. District awards for Global Grants continue to be matched 100% by TRF and Club contributions 50% by TRF. As an example, a Club(s) participates in a Global Grant by contributing $10,000, the District matches $10,000 and TRF matches with a total of $15,000. Such a project exceeds the minimum TRF Global Grant guidelines.
 
The method of processing Global Grants is unchanged this year. Clubs will find the Application at www.rotary.org. Several members of the District Foundation Committee are available to help in walking your Club through the Global Grant steps as needed. We do ask that interested applicants advise me or District Rotary Foundation Chair Wally Kronzer (rotary@kronzer.com) of the amount of DDF being requested in order that we may track the availability of DDF funds.
 
Have a great year and remember that all Grants are made possible by your contributions to The Rotary Foundation.
