Greetings from your Rotary District 5650 Rotary Foundation Grants Team! There is much to do to get ready for the 2026-27 District Grants. But, we wanted to get you thinking about possible projects.
You can review information from last year on the Grants Page of the District Website under The Rotary Foundation - click here for that page.
What we know for the 2026-27 District Grants:
- - the cycle will likely follow the same time frame as recent years
- - that means the deadline to apply online will be May 31
- - grant applications are entered online through the district website - Grants Module
- - certification will be required prior to gaining access to the online Grants Module
- - Grant Management Seminars have all been scheduled
Thursday April 2 – 6:30 PM
Tuesday April 7 - 6:30 PM
Wednesday April 15 – 6:30 PM
Thursday April 30 – 6:30 PM

- - the minimum / maximum grant project amounts will likely be the same as last year
- - your club and board can be looking at possible projects now
- - the project needs to be approved by the board in advance (for the project and amount of grant funds)
- - some clubs have chosen to use this form (click here) to get input - it is based on the screens on the Grants Module
What we don't know:
- - certification criteria may be updated this year GMS attended by 2 and completion of MOU is required; the goals to be set are under review
- - the criteria for grant projects may be changed with an emphasis on hands-on projects
- - the criteria for grant projects may be changed with an emphasis on hands-on projects
