We designed these pages to give you information on how to apply for both District and Global Grants.

The GRANTS INFO page has links to Manuals and other general information about Grants including the Spreadsheet that tells you how your Club allocated it's DDF to District and Global Grants.

The DISTRICT GRANTS page has all the forms you need to draft a District Grant. It also includes a couple examples of District Grants from last year to help you fill out the Application.

The GLOBAL GRANTS page includes planning resources and supplemental forms you may need to complete the Global Grant Application. Global Grant Applications are written, submitted and tracked on Rotary.org.

The SCHOLAR GRANTS page will contain the Application and instructions for District and Global Scholar Grants.
