GRANTS APPLICATIONS

Our part of applying for a Matching Grant is very simple, because the country where the project is taking place does most of the work on the application.

If your club is looking for an International Service Project, just go to the Rotary home page:

www. Rotary.org and then to World Community Service and then to WCS Projects Exchange Database. You may qualify your search by country, type of project and size of project. There are literally hundreds of possibilities available.

After you pick your project, make contact with the project manager to make certain your choice is still available. If so, tell them to start the grant request and forward to you with all the supporting paperwork. You then have your President sign and forward to Rotary International.

After Rotary International approves the request and assigns a Matching Grant number, you will send your check to R.I.

That's all there is to it!
