Rotary offers four different types of grants. The largest is the Rotary Programs of Scale grant. Every year, the Rotary Foundation awards at least one US$2 million grant through Programs of Scale to a 3- to 5-year project aligning with one or more of Rotary’s areas of focus.
The Programs of Scale grants are designed to amplify the impact of programs that Rotary clubs and districts have been diligently working on, programs that have already demonstrated measurable success. The ultimate aim is to extend the reach of these programs in order to benefit more people and foster positive change on a larger scale.
Programs are sponsored by a Rotary club or district and are led by Rotary members but are implemented alongside experienced partners like NGOs, private institutions, government entities, or Rotary Action Groups.
Successful applications must include cash contributions totaling a minimum of US$500,000 from one or more program partners outside of Rotary. While Rotary is required to have a leadership role, these contributions ensure that project partners are also committed to the long-term success and sustainability of the project.
