Get involved - maximise your opportunity


Every year, The Rotary Foundation gives hundreds of millions of dollars in grants to Rotary Clubs throughout the world for humanitarian projects, vocational training and scholarships in Rotary’s cause areas.

Ranging from small-scale, short-term activities to large, international projects, Rotary grants strengthen global partnerships and provide sustainable and measurable benefits to communities.

Grants from The Rotary Foundation support thousands of projects every year

District Foundation Grants fund small-scale, short-term local or international projects with flexible, community-driven goals. Partner clubs are not essential for District Grants.

Foundation Global Grants support large, long-term, sustainable projects (minimum $30,000) that align with specific areas of focus, requiring partnership between two clubs in separate countries. The minimum size for a Global Grant project is $30,000

Foundation Scholarships are offered for scholarships for college graduates and professionals to study peace and conflict resolution.

Rotary Peace Fellowships are available to candidates who want to participate in a master’s degree or professional development certificate program at one of our partner universities.
