Future Vision PACKAGED GLOBAL GRANTS
Packaged global grants offer a variety of sustainable projects and activities designed by The Rotary Foundation that incorporate best practices in the fields of education and international development, as well as best practices developed by Rotarians.
Packaged global grants may include collaborations with non-Rotary strategic partners, Rotary-affiliated entities such as
Rotarian
Action Groups, or Rotarians in the field. These projects and activities support the
Six Areas of Focus and can include scholarships, humanitarian projects, and vocational training.
Because the initial work of designing the project and find a cooperating organization has already been done, Rotarians can focus their talents and energies on implementing these projects and activities. Rotarians must actively participate in global grants, but the nature of participation may vary from grant to grant and could include
- Providing technical expertise or direct service
- Promoting and publicizing the project
- Identifying project beneficiaries
The requirements for international partnership between project sponsors will vary, depending on the project's or activity's needs and objectives.
The Rotary Foundation is currently developing the first packaged global grants for the pilot and will notify Rotarians as they become available. Because this is a new process, the Foundation will start with a few packaged global grants and steadily increase the number of grants over the course of the pilot. This process will develop over time and will not be immediately available.
If you have any questions about packaged global grants or ideas about possible packaged projects or activities, email The Rotary Foundation Future Vision Team.
