Grants Program Qualification Training

The District Grants Program allows Clubs who have completed the District’s annual Rotary Foundation Grants Training Module 1 and Module 2 to apply for funding from District 7010’s District Designated Fund (DDF) to help finance relatively small, short-term activities and projects that address the needs of a local, national or international community.

Those activities and projects help Rotarians contribute to world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving people’s health, supporting education, and alleviating poverty.

For Rotary Year 2026-2027, District 7010 grant funding is proposed for $3,000 maximum, but subject to change depending on how many applications are received. Once the submission deadline passes, clubs will be notified of any change.

The district grant initiation process for Rotary Clubs begins in mid-February and ends on June 1st. That process involves the following steps:

Step 1:

Cultivate ideas for a district grant project, then

Step 2:

Confirm that the proposed project adheres to Terms and Conditions for Rotary Foundation District Grants, then

Step 3:

Take steps to get the Club “qualified” (eligible) to receive district grant program funding, then

Step 4:

Finalize project details and create a budget, then

Step 5:

Apply for district grant funding not later than 1 June through the District’s online grant management system .
