District 5020 Rotary Clubs can utilize four types of grants for
humanitarian service projects:
Matching Grants, Volunteer Service Grants, District Simplified Grants, and 3H
Grants.
Matching Grants (MG) are used for humanitarian international service projects
outside Canada and the United States. Matching grants require the partnering of
an international sponsor Rotary club and a host Rotary Club in the country where
the project is located. These grants are approved and administered by The Rotary
Foundation. District 5020 processes requests from its clubs and provides
matching funds for seed money contributed by a district club applicant.
Significant changes have been implemented in this program. See Matching Grant
Stipulations.
Volunteer Service Grants (VSG) are funded completely by The Rotary Foundation
and provide funds for one or more individual Rotarians and other selected
individuals to travel to a foreign country to work as a volunteer on a service
project for a defined period, or scope out a project to be undertaken. See
Volunteer Service Grant Stipulations.
District Simplified Grants (DSG) can be used for humanitarian projects in a
club’s own community or, in a limited scope, in another country. The DSG program
is wholly administered by District 5020. Club applications are processed by the
District Grant Coordinator (DGC) and approved by the District Foundation
Chairman (DFC). See DSG stipulations.
Health, Hunger, Humanity Grants (3-H Grants) are awarded to fund long term
self-help & Grass roots development which are too large for an individual
club/district to undertake by themselves.
See 3-H grant stipulations.
