Grant Qualification
To qualify your Rotary Club for participation in Rotary Foundation Global Grants and District Managed Grants, please follow these important two steps. This grant qualification process has to be done every year. The following are the steps required for Rotary Year 2026-2027:
1. Attend the District Assembly on April 23rd, 2026:
At least two members of your Rotary Club must attend the District Assembly. Ideally, this should be the President-elect and the Foundation Chair, but you can also have more members of your foundation committee or board of directors attend the Assembly. Those who have attended will count as qualified individuals, and will have access to the district managed grant (DMG) application on the district website!
If you missed the District Assembly, or if you want additional people in your club to become qualified so that they can access the DMG application, then please watch the following grant qualification seminar video on YouTube:
- Annual Fund Giving 2022-23 SHARE: $212,702
- District Designated Funds 2025-26: $101,033
- Global Grants 2025-26: $50,516
- District Grants 2025-26: $50,516
You can also download and review the slides and keep them for your reference, and these are the updated slides for this coming year, so they contain the correct numbers.
2. Sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU):
The MOU must be read and signed by both the current 2025-2026 Club President and the incoming 2026-2027 Club President (=current President-Elect). Please print the document below, sign it and email it to DRFC Anne Lewis at anned7930rfc@gmail.com.
Completion of this process is required to qualify for any grant from District 7930 and/or from The Rotary Foundation.
P.S. If you are a repeat president, please sign the MOU twice - once in your role of current year president, and then once again in your role as next year's president. Thank you!
