The objective of this Rotary Foundation Seminar is to provide an overview of the Rotary Foundation
and give the participants suggestions and guidelines for writing District and Global Grant project
applications.
The program will consist of two segments. The first half will include presentations of the history, mission, and
governance of the Foundation, including how Rotarians can donate and support the Foundation. The second half will

Grant projects and two District Grant projects will be presented by the authors of the applications for those projects.
