Grants Overview
How would you like to double your club money with a District Grant or nearly triple it with a Global Grant?
There are two types of grants:
- Smaller (no lower limit) one-year District Grants
- Larger ($30K minimum project size) multi-year Global Grants
District Grants: All the information (including the application) is here on the District 5190 website. Pertinent links are listed to the left of this page. The District Grants are limited to one year (see “Timeline” link) and are available to qualified Rotary and Rotaract clubs.
All grant applications are approved and funded to clubs in good standing on a first-come-first-served basis for those that are complete and meet the District and TRF requirements. These applications must be completed using the District Grants Module that can be accessed by clicking HERE.
Important notes: When clicking “Submit a Grant Request” button, you are agreeing to the Terms & Conditions. Online applications can be entered and edited multiple times by the same Primary Contact.

Grant Plan For 2024-25: The District match for a single Club grant is 1:1 up to $2500 maximum; multi-Club grants are matched 1:1.33 up to $3325 maximum. Each club participating in a multi-Club project receives the match.
Maximum District matching funds in 2024-25 for all projects are $2500 (single club projects) / $3325 (multi-club projects), plus any Bonus Allocation for which the club is qualified (see below).
Projects may include travel to complete a Community Needs Assessment for a Global Grant and travel to or participation in a Project Fair to find project partners, subject to RI Travel Restrictions.
Grant applications may be submitted from 1 July to 31 October 2024. If it is determined on or after October 31, 2024 that there are unallocated funds available, the District will notify all Clubs of the availability of funds and that a second round of grant funding may be opened.
The Primary Contact (The Rotarian who fills out online application) is responsible for completing the application, overseeing the project, and submitting a timely Final Report (including receipts). Please see D5190 Grants Policies, Timeline, Bonus Allocation for full details.

Bonus Allocation: Bonus Allocations are grant funds that are available to clubs based on their Annual Fund contributions in the prior year.
|
Global Grants: These are larger, multi-year projects that require partners in two countries. These projects must be sustainable, align with one or more of the Areas of Focus, and have measurable outcomes that meet defined needs identified by the benefitting community and reported on the Community Needs Assessment form. All global grant applications are entered in the Grant Center on the RI website. Grants may be applied for at any time by qualified Clubs following required review by the District Rotary Foundation Chair or District Grants Chair. Clubs must be in good standing to receive District matching funds. The District matches Club funds and TRF matches District funds. TRF makes the final approval of the project and tracks the reporting requirements. Annual reports are required for the life of the project.
