The Humanitarian Grants Division of The Rotary Foundation supports Rotarians with their efforts to implement humanitarian service projects by facilitating their participation in the grants program and ensuring the responsible use of grant funds according to The Rotary Foundation guidelines.

The Humanitarian Grants Program provides grants to Rotary clubs and districts to implement humanitarian projects. There are several grant types that address different service needs and funding options.

District 5100 Matching Grants Policy

District 5100 District Simplified Grant Policy

The following grants are available to support these endeavors.

• District Simplified Grants : A tool for Rotary districts to support short-term, humanitarian projects that benefit either the international or local community. This grant is applied for by the district and can be up to 20% of the District's Designated Fund (DDF). A club may apply to the District 5100 Grants committee for a grant ranging in value from $250 to $2,000.
  
  
• Matching Grants : Support international service projects involving Rotary clubs or districts in two or more countries. Through Matching Grants, The Rotary Foundation matches contributions raised by clubs and districts for international humanitarian projects. Frequently, these are World Community Service projects. The Rotary Foundation provides a 1:1 match on District Designated Funds (DDF) SHARE contributions and 0.5:1 match for new cash contributions. There are terms and conditions which must be met in applying for a Matching Grant. Information is available on the Rotary International Web site.
