 Download Criteria

    2. The Grant cannot be used to fund existing projects or a project that was previously done by the club.
    3. Projects must not fund activities primarily sponsored by another organization or fund operation expenses of another organization.
    4. Projects must not directly benefit a Rotarian, an employee of a club, district or other Rotary entity or of Rotary International, or a spouse, lineal descendent, a spouse of a lineal descendent, or an ancestor of any living Rotarian or Rotary employee.
    5. Project funds may not be used for travel, salaries or other administrative overhead costs.
    6. Projects must be Rotary sponsored and publicly identified as such. However, grant funds may not be used to purchase or place Rotary recognition items.
    7. Projects must not involve liability on the part of Rotary International or its Foundation except to provide the amount of the grant.
    8. Program funds may not be used to reimburse applicants for projects already initiated or completed.
