BUSINESS CYCLE
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. A two-step online application process will be accessible via Member Access on the RI website (Rotary.org).
PROPOSAL
All Global Grants applications for D6910 must begin with submitting a Global Grant Application Template worksheet (see above) to the D6910 Grants Coordinator before submitting the formal online Application to The Rotary Foundation. This process is designed to increase the acceptance rate of grant applications. Email the completed template to the D6910 Global Grants Coordinator Paul Matthews, pmatthew@uga.edu, for approval and additional guidance
APPLICATION
Once the D6910 Foundation committee has reviewed the proposal and provided approval, the Rotarian leading the Global Grant proposal will submit the full application to Rotary International through the online Global Grants Application tool. (This will require signing on to the Rotary online member portal at www.rotary.org/myrotary). See the above download, “Global Grant Online Application Process,” for step-by-step guidance. Depending on project complexity, scope, and funding requested, the Rotary Foundation may request additional details, and projects with budgets of over $100,000 have additional approvals required. The district Grants Coordinators will assist with questions during the application process; email Bruce Azevedo (azevedo@negia.net) or Paul Matthews (pmatthew@uga.edu) with questions.
