It is time to get your project ideas together and select a project for matching grants! The District will match club funds 1 to 1 for 2026-27 District Grant Projects.
 
You can find all of the details on the District Website->The Rotary Foundation->Grants page (click here).
 
But, to get started, your club and members need to get certified as required to apply for a District Grant.
 
- - At least two members need to attend Grant Management Seminars (GMS)
     - - suggest that the project manager attend
     - - suggested that the Club / Foundation Treasurer attend
     - - suggested that the 2025-26 and 2026-27 Club President attend
     - - only members who attend a GMS are given access to manage the grant online
     - - GMS are by zoom and have been set up - you can register now
- - Goals must be set for 2026-27 in Rotary Club Central
     - - You can set those now - no need to wait; you can adjust the goals later if needed
     - - Clubs must set the six priority goals listed at the top of the Goal Page of Rotary Club Central
- - The Club must complete a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
     - - The MOU is on the Grants Page
     - - Complete the fields - including the Club Name
     - - The MOU is signed by the Club President 2025-26 and 2026-27
     - - Repeat President?
          - - Sign in both President boxes
          - - Another Club Officer should complete the boxes below the President boxes
          - - Ideally that additional Club Officer is the Club Treasurer
     - - Be sure that the Club understands the MOU
     - - Again - this does not need to wait - you can complete and submit the MOU now
 
Let's get started on your project!
 
Thanks!
