FOUNDATION DISTRICT & GLOBAL GRANTS on FIRE!
Rotary Foundation grants support Rotarians’ efforts to change lives and serve communities. District Grants are block grants available annually that enables clubs and districts to address immediate needs in their communities and abroad. District Grants are a maximum of $4,000 per club. Projects need to be completed in one year with the moneys to be spent in the same year the grant was requested. District Grants recipients are required to complete an application form and a Memorandum of Understanding, with proper signatures emailed to District5810grants@gmail.com. Moneys will be reimbursed after the project is completed. The final report with receipts and pictures are emailed to District5810grants@gmail.com All forms and detailed information is available at www.rotary5810.org. Completed District 5810 grant applications for Rotary Year 2017-2018 are due by July 31, 2017.

Klumph The Arch Klumph Society, named after the sixth president of Rotary, was established to acknowledge and recognize The Rotary Foundation’s highest tier of donors — those who have contributed $250,000 or more during their lifetime.

Global Grants offer clubs and districts opportunities to participate in strategically focused, high-impact activities. Global Grants have a minimum budget of $30,000 up to a maximum of $200,000. Projects are completed over multiple years with moneys to be spent spread over the years to complete the project. A Global Grant project must first be approved by the District Governor to determine what funds are available. Applying for a Global Grant is an online Grant Application Tool process to be completed at www.rotary.org/myrotary/en/rotary- foundation.
