 To view this meeting: https://youtu.be/B-cgVBxoQYs September 27, 2022 – We were fortunate to have Elizabeth Wolf discuss the Rotary Foundation and the types of grants they offer. The Rotary Foundation helps Rotary members to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty. Global Grants International projects with budgets exceeding $35,000 are best served with a Global Grant. Due to District and Rotary International matching, properly qualified clubs may have the money raised for a project multiplied by 3.5 - i.e. A club raises $12,500 and can then do a project with budget of $35,000. This requires a strong relationship with a Rotary club in the country where the project is to be done, a needs assessment, and documentation that the project is sustainable. The project must fit into one of Rotary International's six areas of focus. District Club Grants District Club Grant projects support short-term, humanitarian projects that benefit local or foreign communities. Once a year, a club may request grant funds for a project or may collaborate with another club's project. There is no maximum number of clubs per project, however reimbursement is maximized at 5 times authorized single amount determined by Grant Committee. Local Club Grants Locally, the York East Rotary Club does this through Local Grants.York East Rotary Grants provide valuable funding support to address the changing needs of York. It does so through grant programs focused on improving our local community. Local fields of interest align with Rotary International’s focus to take action on our world’s most persistent issues.
