ROTARY FOUNDATION AND D6400 GRANTS This page contains application and report forms for the Rotary Foundation and D6400 grants. Details on eligibility, deadlines and funding can be found in the application forms. In order to be eligible for a grant your club must be qualified and that means that at least two of your club members attended a grant management seminar. In order to receive support from the District Designated Funds (DDF) your club must have contributed at least USD $100 per capita to the Annual Fund of the Rotary Foundation. Please note that the Rotary Foundation District Community Grants are funded by DDF and the District match for Global Grants is also funded by DDF.
The District Rotary Foundation Committee grants team would like to thank all the clubs that are participating in the 2022-23 D6400 District Grants program. Rick Caron, District 6400 Grants Chair coordinated the grant request process. The club grant requests were reviewed and all were approved by the District Rotary Foundation Committee voting members – Sue Goldsen, Chair; PDG Rick Caron, PDG Neil McBeth, AG Margaret Wiliamson, DG Traci Sincock and DGE Russ Jones.

GLOBAL GRANT SCHOLARSHIP The Rotary Foundation funds scholarships with global grants and district grants. For information about district grant scholarships, clubs should contact their
district Rotary Foundation committee, and districts should refer to District Grants Scholarship Best
Practices.
OVERVIEW
Through global grants, Rotary members can support future leaders in fields related to the areas of focus:
• Peacebuilding and conflict prevention
• Disease prevention and treatment
• Water, sanitation, and hygiene
• Maternal and child health
• Basic education and literacy
• Community economic development
• Environment
Global grant scholarships fund graduate–level coursework or research for one to four academic years. A key feature of global grants is the partnership between the district or club in the study location (host sponsor) and the district or club in the scholar’s home country (international sponsor). Both sponsorsmust be qualified before they can submit an application.
